Ready for a contest?

July 20, 2008 by Melissa 


Okay, so I do so many contests I sometimes forget just which ones I am doing but this one is going to be ongoing.
Regular visitors on this blog know that I am writing my first single title I have attempted in about three years, the start of a new series, The Black Diamond. BUT, I need motivation. With the move, the kids home, and all that, it is hard to find time and I sometimes find myself slipping. So, I need some help from you all:)
I am going to check in every week on my word count, and for every 5 K I am giong to draw a name for a book. I have a word counter on the sidebar–which I will be updating later today–and I will updated it through the week. If you would like to win a book from me, you need to email me at MelissaATmelissaschroederDOTnet. Tell me your choice of book, your location, and your name.(I will use first names and last intials, along with location to announce the winners. It can be print or digital, but it has to still be in print to be included. That way I can be sure to get the right books and have them on hand:) I will email you back within 48 hours of getting your entry. Please put 5K CONTEST in the subject line.
You only have to enter once for the duration of the contest.

UPDATE:
The next drawing will be at 30K, since I am sitting at or right about 25K. I hope it will happen before next weekend so keep your eyes peeled. Also, be sure to tell me PRINT or DIGITAL for the book

SECOND UPDATE:
Yeah, I had a migraine yesterday so I did leave some things out. The drawing is for any of MY books, not others, lol. Also, I will include Leather and Lace and Hunting Mila inthe drawings, but it will be Sept before I can send them:)

    [...] Schroeder is giving away one of (I think) her own books for every 5,000 words she writes on her next book, no deadline [...]

    How do we find your books that are out of print?
