Barnes & Noble has selected Laura Whitcomb’s first novel, A Certain Slant of Light, to be featured in its Discover Great New Writers program from November this year to January 2006. The B&N Discover editors read and review select young adult submissions each season, but not every list of chosen books contains a teen title. Laura’s book, which Houghton Mifflin will publish in September, will be featured in the Discover bay of every Barnes & Noble store in the country with the 15 other Discover titles (all adult) throughout the winter holiday season, as well as in the teen section.
