Each year, the Discover Great New Writers Program from Barnes and Noble has introduced readers to up-and-coming new authors, many of whom have been from UNP.

Past UNP winners include Ted Kooser (Local Wonders), Brandon Schrand (The Enders Hotel), Daryl Farmer (Bicycling Beyond the Divide) and most recently, Jon Pineda (Sleep in Me).

Do you know an author (UNP or otherwise!) who you think should be considered for this honor?  If so, enter their works in the Facebook Sweepstakes here. You’ll be automatically in the drawing for a new NOOK Tablet.

Check out Barnes and Noble’s website or stop by a store to see the display of new writers that is updated monthly.

Contest ends Feb. 5.
