Well, we’ve got an updated look that I really like, though I haven’t worked out all the final details quite yet…and, like every website owner, I’m always tweaking things in the hopes to make it perfect–a work in progress. Best, though, we’ve got some new features that I believe are important–debut novels and featured authors. A little about those:

Selected from books and novels previously featured as Recommended on The Deepening World of Books–from all categories, not just fiction or non-fiction, and including poetry–neither Featured Authors nor Debut Novel spotlights can be bought by money or influence. Selections are strictly based on our opinion of what and who deserves more attention.

We don’t pull our choices from any list. We won’t hedge based on influence or lack thereof. And, yes, self-published books and independent authors have equally as good a chance of making the spotlight as does any other more traditionally published.
