Who Will Be the Kid Lit Heroes of 2008?Last year, 38 authors about to publish their first work of young people's fiction banded together as the Class of 2K7 to cross-promote their work and provide event planners with a central talent pool for readings, school and library visits, and other literary opportunities. Among the most notable success stories of the year: a NYT bestseller list appearance for Melissa Marr's Wicked Lovely, and a National Book Award nomination for Sara Zarr's Story of a Girl. Perhaps more important than the individual achievements, though, is the recognition that great things can happen when writers unite to support each other and promote the joy of reading to young audiences (and the gatekeepers for those audiences) rather than simply simply trying to sell their own books.
