Contest Guidelines
Okidokee,
So, here's the thing. The galleys (the advanced copies of books that reviewers get) are in, my new website is up and I'm feeling pretty good, 'cuz the Cubs have been clobbering the Rockies.
These are all great reasons to hold a contest with real prizes.
Best of all, you don't have to do much to enter to win. At the absolute, be-as-lazy-as-you-want, just shoot me your real email address. Poof! You're entered.
Here's what you can win:
Top prize--a signed galley of The Screwed-Up Life of Charlie the Second and an iPod.
Other fabulous prizes include:
The book's "soundtrack" via iTunes
An iTunes giftcard
Some kind of prepaid giftcard to spend on whatever your little heart desires
Books by the writers who've given me advanced praise, including: Scott Heim, Steve Kluger
, Brian Costello
, Arthur Wooten
, Frank Anthony Polito
Convinced you want to enter? Good. Here are a few ways you can get entered into the contest, and yes, you can get more than one entry for the raffle.
1) Shoot me your real email address.
2) Add a link to http://www.drewferguson.com on your blog or website
3) Post the Charlie book trailer on your MySpace/Facebook page or in a blog
4) Let me know that you pre-ordered the book--we'll work on figuring out a way to
prove this.
5) Make me one of your top friends on MySpace/Facebook.
There's five ways you can enter and five chances to win.
In any case, EMAIL ME about what you did, so I can give you full credit.
If you can come up with something else that's creative, you may get another entry.
Best of all, if you don't win this contest, you're still entered for the contest I'll be holding this fall.
Deadline for entry will be June 30 at midnight central time.
Good luck!
