Debut YA, January-March 2022

A new week means new books to share! To carry on with my theme of sharing debut creators, today is Day 1 of Debut YA, January-March 2022. There are so many new debut YA books coming out this year that I’m actually breaking it into four posts! If you missed my past few posts about debut books this year – check out picture books and both middle grade posts – January-May and June-December.

As with all my debut posts, I’ll preface this post by saying that the publishing world is a very fluid one and that I posted the most accurate information I could find. That being said, changes happen, so double-check author or publisher websites for updates! With 116 titles coming up in the next few days, I’m sure you’re going to find an author that you’re excited to read. And if you do love their work, reach out and say so! Creators, especially those in the kid lit and YA world are so very kind! And you might even make their day as well.

For more information about these upcoming titles, check out #22Debuts. This website is chockful of author information, more information about all the books below, and some really great blog posts as well.

And can I just say, there are some beautiful cover artists out there – some of these covers I want to hang on my wall they’re so pretty! Also, if you’re book isn’t listed below, please add it to the comments!
