Book Deal Giveaway! Day Four

TODAY'S CONTEST IS OPEN UNTIL NOON (mst).

And my query letter for CONTROL ISSUES is being broken down on Matt's blog today. Go. Follow him. Read. Comment. Whatever.

Yes, someone's going to publish my book. I can barely contain the tremors, trust me. Since you guys have been around for a lot of my journey, I'm giving away some mind-blowing loot (oh, man. *hangs head in shame*).

My book is a young adult dystopian novel in the vein of The Giver and The Hunger Games. Therefore, my giveaways are young adult/middle grade dystopians.

Each day this week there will be two prize packages available. The rules to enter are super-simple.
1. Go to The League of Extraordinary Writers blog. (I'm a co-author.) Follow.
2. Leave a comment ON THIS POST.

Winners will be chosen from the comments of this post. I will check to make sure the winner has followed the League blog.

What can you win? What can you win? WHAT CAN YOU WIN??

GONE prize package:
1. A copy of Gone by Michael Grant (paperback)
2. Matching bookmark created by Elana
3. A box of peanut butter patties -- Girl Scout Cookies!
4. $5 gift card to Barnes & Noble
5. Handmade, personalized notebook (sans scribbling *embarrassed* You would not believe what my kids do to their notebooks! Don't they know they're like, sacred artifacts or something?) for all your writing scribbling needs (6 x 9 inches)
6. Copy of From the Query to the Call OR a query critique by Elana



ENDER'S GAME prize package:
1. A copy of Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (paperback)
2. Matching bookmark created by Elana
3. A box of peanut butter patties -- Girl Scout Cookies!
4. $5 gift card to Barnes & Noble
5. Handmade, personalized notebook for all your writing needs (6 x 9 inches)
6. Copy of From the Query to the Call OR a 10-page critique by Elana



Again, all you have to do to win is 1) Follow The League of Extraordinary Writers and 2) Leave a comment on THIS POST. (Tell me which prize package you'd like most. If possible, I'll give it to you.) and 3) Tell me my hair looks great. (Ha! We'll see who's reading carefully!)

This giveaway will remain open for 24 hours! That's it. You snooze, you lose. Because tomorrow, I have TWO more prize packages to give away! Winners will be announced at 1:00 PM tomorrow. And the new giveaway will go live at 2:00 PM.

Thanks for celebrating with me!

    I would like the Ender's Game package, but you can send me either one and it would be, what's the word I want. Not epic per se... but perhaps fan-freakin-tastic?

    epinormous? ;) I might have to coin that one.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  28. Your hair is incredible. I wish I could cut mine short and not look like a boy. :)

    I can't even choose between these two. Either one would be fantastic.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I've read EG but don't have it, so either is great with me. Though I guess I'll pick GONE if I have to pick. By the way, did anyone ever tell you your hair looks great? Because it really, really does.

    ReplyDelete
  30. *claps hands* Ender's Game package pleases.

    ALSO congrats to the winners so far, this is wonderful :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Your hair looks ... fantastic ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hi Elana - Congrats again. Can't wait to get to know you better. And I'll pick Ender's Game, even though green is my fav color. Hot pink is my oldest daughter's and her b-day's coming up soon. =D *crosses fingers and closes eyes really tight* hee hee

    ReplyDelete
  46. My first choice is for the Gone prize pack, but I'd be happy with the Ender's Game pack too.

  47. Love your hair! Gone, please. This is so much fun.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, gosh. Enter me! This is so much fun. What a great way to celebrate.

    I would take either package. Not picky!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Elana, your hair isn't just great. It's epic. It's, like, legendary. It's mind-blowing. (Does any of this increase my chances of winning? Not that that's why I'm saying it 'cuz you know I <3 your hair. I'm just asking) I haven't read Gone yet either. (I know, shame again!) So please enter me in your BOSS contest!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Of course, your hair looks great! Doesn't it always?

    This is so much fun. I've been checking throughout the day every day this week. My theory is that if I keep entering, someday I'll win. Not only that, but I get to get my dystopian fix every day! Loved the music from earlier this week.

    Please sign me up for Prize Pack 2. It's wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  51. I would love to win the Gone prize package. What I don't want gone is your hair! It looks great. ;-) Seriously. It wouldn't work for me, but I would love to have that hair option for my Sims.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The Gone package, yeah! Great contest.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ooh! The Gone package would be great! What a fun week you've hosted. Thanks, Elana!

    ReplyDelete
  54. How awesome!

    I'm following the Extraordinary Authors (via @VamPoet - twitter)

    I'm so sorry but I can't choose, both prizes are fantastic! And I've never gotten to read either book, sadly. Your choice! I like that Ender's Game notebook though :-p

    And your hair is resplendid, breath-taking, awe-inspiring, and just plain gorgeous :)

  56. I just read Enders Game, and I haven't read Gone. So the GONE package would be awesome. I'm a follower of this blog and the League blog.

    Congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  57. This is so awesome! I can hardly wait to be reading your book. Yay!
    I like the Enders Game prize pack.

    Did you ever read, "This Perfect Day" by Ira Levin? I have a post about it's re-release on my blog. Cya around.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I think your hair looks fabulous! And I would love the Gone package since I've already read Ender's Game. (But I'd take either one, of course.)

    Congratulations!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I follow The League Of Extraordinary Writers
    I would love the Gone pack!!
    And ofcourse your hair looks great!! You are simply gorgeous! :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. So, can you like do this indefinitely? Please?

    ReplyDelete
  61. Umm, did I forget to say your hair looks super awesomesaucy?

    ReplyDelete
  62. Okay, I am seriously impressed with your ability to keep up with all of this. It's kind of nuts, but way fun. You continually amaze me, woman!

    PS. If I were to win (unlikely) I'd choose Gone, cuz I haven't read it yet. But all the other stuff, so way fun.

    ReplyDelete
  63. DEFinitely Ender's Game! Man, this contest's a lotta fun :D I'm gathering votes for the
    Ultimate Interview Contest over on mine - did you vote? Huh? Didja?? :D

    ReplyDelete
  64. I loved GONE! It's a great series!
    ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  65. This is a tough one! I'd love either, but I have a slight preference toward The Ender's Game pack! And your hair really does look great, I'm not just saying that because I want to win! I love that cut, I think it's so cute and perfect for your face. (That might have been borderline sucking up, but I really mean it!)

    ReplyDelete
  66. Like one of my favorite *NSYNC songs, GONE, please. :) (That will either secure my obvious win or get me blacklisted forever!)

    ... and your hair looks faboo, BTW. (I've noticed, like me, you use this word, only you spell it "fabu." Your way makes a lot more sense, but I've been using it my way for far too long to give way to logic at this point!)

    Thanks for all these contests. :)

    ReplyDelete
  67. I would love to be entered for Gone.

    And how could your hair look anything but great!

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Your hair might look great but I have some funky kind of residue coming through my shower spout so mine looks horrible. I'd like the Gone package! Thanks!

  70. Your hair looks so great, it should have its own blog! Um... so anyway...

    Another hearty congratulations on the book deal!

    And... the Gone pack looks lovely. Well, so does the other one, but I have a copy of Ender's Game waiting to be read (I swear my husband asks me every week, "have you read it yet?"... I'm holding off just to spite him at this point, HAH!).

    ReplyDelete

  103. The hair? Amazing of course. :-) I would pick the Enders Game package, but I'm not picky. This has been a fun week of contests. How much school do you have left? We got out TODAY! And I'm loving it!

    ReplyDelete
  145. What makes your hair look great is that it looks like a fan is blowing behind you fluffing up that back part...like a super model.

    ReplyDelete
  146. Ooh, Ender's Game. You have good taste. That's a fantastic book. Admittedly, I wouldn't have shelved it near The Giver in my mind, but both are good.

    I've never read the Gone books, but thanks to your mention, I'm going to check them out.

    Your hair, as per usual, looks lovely. :)

    Summer 2011 can't come soon enough for me. I can't wait to meet Jag (oh, and Vi, too).

    I'm going to say the GONE package.

    Have a great weekend!

  167. Your hair does look fabulous. Truly fab. I love short hair and I miss mine being super short...

    That aside, think I'm going to go with Ender's Game! Sounds, well, fab!

    Happy weekend!

  173. I am leaning toward Gone. Yes, final answer is Gone.. Was hard to decide.

    I like your hair. I have been keeping mine short and straight and I do mean straight (no perm).
