Informative post about one of the great writers organizations of the world. I can't add a thing except that becoming a Debut Author will turn out to be one important part of this dream we all have coming true...
Sounds like a dream deferred. I'd love to join; I'm working on my first murder mystery, but I've self-published six non-fiction books with CreateSpace. Sounds like I'm ineligible if I publish my fiction there in the future.
