It’s hard to believe, but today marks the one-year anniversary of The Scariest Part! In that time, I’ve put the spotlight on 36 authors and their books, a selection ranging from first-timers to well known and bestselling authors, with books from micropresses and major publishing houses and everything in between. You can see all of them here.
It’s been a pleasure for me to host The Scariest Part on my blog, and I hope it’s been helpful to the writers who’ve taken part. It’s hard to gauge how effective these things are at driving sales, but if I helped get the word out to interested readers about books and authors they’d never heard of before then I consider it a success. Many thanks again to John Scalzi, Mary Robinette Kowal, and Chuck Wendig, whose own blog features were a big influence.
I’m happy to announce that The Scariest Part will continue! I look forward to seeing what its second year brings. I hope to bring in more filmmakers, comic book writers, and game creators, not just authors, but we’ll see how things develop.
