The Class of 2k7 ezine is released quarterly and features information about the debut children’s and young adult authors of the Class as well as useful resources for booksellers, librarians, and educators. The editor of this quarter’s issue is Kelly Bingham.
Welcome to Issue #2 of our E-Zine!
Ah, spring. A time for gardening, bird-watching, and most of all, reading! 2007 has arrived, and for the Class of 2k7, the last three months have been busy and fun. We have much to share, and much to look forward to, as well!

The Class of 2K7 Wants to Share Our Reviews!
Our members have earned impressive reviews and amazing blurbs. Everyone is excited and thrilled, and we can’t wait to see the reviews come in as all our other classmate’s books arrive later this year. We wanted to share some of the latest news with you!
What Makes A Book “Edgy?”
Like so many labels, the term “edgy” has a somewhat nebulous definition. As a number of texts by the Class of 2k7 are categorized as “edgy,” we asked classmates and a few of our associates to share definitions and thoughts on the label.
So…What Have You Been Up To?
The last three months have found some of us reveling in our books finding their way, at last, to the hands of readers. Others of us are busy planning for when our release date arrives, and many of us are diving into publicity and special projects. And did someone say sequels? This is one busy group of seniors! Here’s the lowdown on what some of our classmates have been up to in the last few months:
Upcoming Events
