CHALLENGE: New Author Challenge

Hosted at Literary Escapism, you pick the level of new authors you hope to read next year - 15, 25 or 50 new authors.

The Guidelines: the authors must be new to you and, preferably from novels. Anthologies are a great way to try someone new, but only a third of your new authors can be from anthologies.

All the details are at this post. I'll keep track of up to 25 new authors, but I want them to be authors of more than one book, if possible.
