The difference between a first novel and a debut novel

Posted on March 4, 2013 by Tara Dairman

I’ve got a new blog post up today at EMU’s Debuts about the difference between an author’s first book and their debut book. Nope, they’re not always the same thing!

Come on by.

Tara Dairman


I'm a novelist, playwright, and recovering world traveler. I grew up in New York but now live in Austin, Texas. My debut middle-grade novel, All Four Stars, was published by Putnam/Penguin in 2014; the sequels The Stars of Summer and Stars So Sweet followed in 2015 and 2016. In 2017, my newest novel, The Great Hibernation (Wendy Lamb Books/Random House) hit the shelves, and my first picture book, Desert Girl, Monsoon Boy, illustrated by Archana Sreenivasan, was published in 2020. Literary agent extraordinaire (and fellow foodie!) Ammi-Joan Paquette of EMLA represents me.
