Has anyone seen the contest that West of Mars is running on her blog?  Called Debut a Debut it's all about getting new writers and their debut novels read. 

Here's the teaser text - to get all the rules and fine print check out the link to Debut a Debut:

The book industry faces many challenges. People seem to have less time to read and it's tough to compete with the television and Internet. Any new or aspiring author knows how hard it is to make his or her voice heard amongst the chorus of "publish me!" "Notice me!" "Buy my books!"

In many cultures around the world, Valentine's Day has converted the month of February into the month of love. This February, two aspiring authors are taking their love of reading and their admiration for debut authors and combining them into the "Debut a debut!" contest.

Take a first-time author for a spin on your "To Read in 2007" list and give yourself the chance to win great prizes! Gift certificates to Borders and more!

I think this is a fantastic idea!  I have to check and see if I can use a review that I've written for Front Street, or if I have to go with something unpublished.
