Celebration Contest!

 

Well, my fabulous readers, I believe I promised you a contest :)

How about a super easy contest with lots of opportunities for extra entries?

How To Enter:

To enter the contest, simply leave me a comment on this post. You can say anything you want, just a quick "hi!" (try and keep it nice though ;-D ) and that's it! You are entered!

Extra Entry Opportunities:

1. Be or become a follower of this blog = 1 extra entry

2. Blog it, tweet it, Facebook it, or MySpace it = 1 extra entry per announcement = 4 possible extra entries

3. Put it on your blog's sidebar = 2 extra entries

4. Be or become a follower of my other blog, Papers, Prose, and Poetry (click HERE or on the link in the sidebar) = 5 extra entries

That is a grand total of 12 possible extra entries  :D

Leave me your tally with links to your posts in your comment. Everyone will go on to a spread sheet and a handy random number generator will choose the winner.

And now for the prizes (drum roll please......)

One lucky winner will win:

A query critique from my ever awesome agent, Krista Goering

A copy of the incredible Query Queen Elana Johnson's e-book - From the Query to the Call

and

A $20 dollar gift card to Barnes and Noble.

Depending on the response, I may just have to throw something else fabulous into the prize pot :)


So hurry and enter!!!! I will be accepting entries for one week, from today, Monday Feb 22nd, until midnight on Monday March 1st.

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, March 2nd.

Happy Entering Everyone!!

A great contest, Michelle! (Sadly, this is not an entry because I am not ready for a query crit and I already have Elana's book but I still wanted to say hi and tell you what a great contest it is!)

The Newlons said...

Love you! Fun contest and good luck to everyone!!

Hannah said...

Huzzah! Another supporter and you're holding a contest! Woo-hoo!

cheermom said...

What a great contest! My queries can use all the help they can get.

Kimmy said...

Count me in! Best of luck with your book!

If I win a query critique, it will cost someone big time, because my query is taped near the top of the Eiffel Tower. If you take the ride up, you can’t miss it. After I read the really successful literary agents go up the tower at least once in their lifetime, I thought that might be a good place to put it.

If I win Elana’s e-book From the Query to the Call, I could learn how to reduce the number of rejections I receive on a daily basis.

If I win the $20.00 gift card for Barnes and Noble, I could buy a good book on writing fiction.

Michelle, you are the best. Thank you for all of your support and help. You have helped me become a better writer.
