Being a writer is freaking awesome. Especially when you don’t try to do it alone. These past few months, I’ve had so much help for which I am so, so grateful–from beta readers, to crit partners, to authors I e-mail who e-mail me back (Junot Diaz–I <3 you). In part of my effort to give back a little, I’m introducing my first giveaway. Comment on this post, and you will be entered to win one of the fabulous books pictured below (all pubbed in 2012, all read–and enjoyed–by yours truly). Or, if you prefer, I’ll give you a ten-page critique. Or both. Because I’ll probably be so excited you entered my contest, I’ll just want to give you everything.
Contest starts now and ends on February 28th!
*shoes not included.
And the winner is… Jeri!
Since I just felt like it, I chose two winners.
And the other winner is… Shannon!
Congrats, Jeri and Shannon, and thanks to everyone who entered the contest.
Thanks for telling me about the blog!
Thanks for stopping by! Best of luck to you!
I like free stuff! I also like your blog
And I love your work in progress!
Thank you thank you! Same here. Best of luck!
I love giveaways! And I love reading your posts.
Thanks Joanne! Same here.
what do you mean, shoes aren’t included? RIP OFF! Okay, even though the shoes aren’t included (are they a size 9? they look like my size…) I’d be happy to have any one of these books – Roundhouse is on my to read list and the others all sound wonderful. I didn’t know you wrote to Junot Diaz and he wrote back – how awesome are you?
I’m going through a heel phase. Though that’s not going quite so well while I’m in Ohio. (For the record, snow and cute heels do not mix.)
Yes! He did! I e-mailed him after reading and loving The Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao (I didn’t mention my feelings about This is How You Lose Her). This is my new thing: e-mailing authors when I read their books and love them. So far, one for one isn’t bad!
I’ll take the 10 page critique. Haha jk, thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for stopping by, Stephanie! I love your blog!
Nice to meet you! Count me in!
Holy crap! I love your blog! Thanks for entering the giveaway.
I’m coming across your blog for the first time! Nice to meet you.
Thanks, Susan! You have such a beautiful blog.
Great blog, and great idea for attracting readers. Good luck.
Thanks, Charles! It’s also a great way to share some of the books I love!
Count me in. It’s so nice to meet one of Jeri’s friends. The books look great so here is to my chance at winning.
Thanks, Susan. Best of luck on winning!
I like free stuff. But I think you might be going a bit far when you start hoarding shoes.
Haha. Hey, if you owned those shoes, you would hoard them too.
Being a write is awesome!! Good luck in all you do!
Thanks, Shannon!
Hey it’s the 28th today but it looks like I’m too late!! Good for you on writing to Junot Diaz. Awesome he replied. Thanks for having the giveaway anyway. I’d have gone for the 10 critique. Oh well. Next time. Good to meet you
Great to meet you, too! Thanks for stopping by!
I am sorry that I missed your give-away but I wanted to comment regardless on the brief summary Jeri provided for The Trouble With Knowing. I am so very intrigued with it. If you haven’t already read the memoir Lying I highly suggest you do.
Thanks, Mary! I just checked out Lying. I can’t wait to read it!
I never win anything! Well except for a box of croutons once and a mini pie maker. Thanks again
A box of croutons?? Who gives away a box of croutons?
