New Talent November 2015 – a recap

It’s 1 December, and the bad news is that New Talent November 2015 has come to a close. The good news is that Christmas is only 24 days away and if you’ve carefully scribed your letter to Sanda then there’s bound to be plenty of crime fiction in your stocking, right? Crime fiction such as the wonderful top five debuts of 2015, perhaps, which our team chose especially for New Talent November.

Laurah McHugh is one of America’s top emerging crime authors.

We’ve done our best this month to cover new crime novelists, as well as those who self-publish or have been writing for indie publishers that don’t have the marketing might of the Random Houses and HarperCollinses of this world. The most popular articles we’ve run have included our look at the 12 debut novels that changed crime fiction, the seven rising stars of American crime, and the Ten to Taste article where we pointed you towards 10 self-published and indie gems. What was your favourite article during November, do let us know in the comments below?

Before we sign off with a listing covering the entire month’s content, we want to send out a big thank-you to the five independent publishers that sponsored New Talent November. Please do click these links and check out their wares:

Bloodhound Books
ThunderPoint Publishing
Britain’s Next Bestseller
Caffeine Nights Publishing
Fahrenheit Press

These companies are all doing fantastic work making sure that talented crime writers get a chance to reach a readership, and hone their skills.
