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 epic stuff. At least I think it's epic.
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??
THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX prize package:
1. A copy of The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson (paperback)
2. Matching bookmark created 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.)
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 9:00 AM tomorrow. And the new giveaway will go live at 10:00 AM.

This is awesome! Dystopians are my new favorite genre (now that I know what it is). Major congrats for the win in the publishing world!
Am follower of your blog & The League.
Oooh... those are both awesome prize packs. : )
I'd take either, but given the choice I'd go with the 2nd (Feed) group.
Congrats again & thanks for the fun giveaways. Love that you've included Girl Scout cookies (yum!)

Yep - an Epic week on your blog! I LOVE the Feed pkg! Congrats again my friend.
I'll go with the Feed package. Awesome contest-thanks, Elana!
um, can I mix and match? hee hee! I want the second package (dying to read FEED) bu I want the bag from the first package! Too cute!
Congrats!! I haven't heard much about any of the books but I really dig the bag in the Adoration of Jenna Fox pack. Sign me up! Thanks!!
Would love either prize pack...but if I'm "forced" to choose *wink*, then I pick the 'Feed' pack!
Awesome contest! I would love to read FEED. :)
First--congratulations!!!
Both those books are on my to-read list, so this is a tough choice, but really it all comes down to the peanut butter Girl Scout cookies. I'll take the ADORATION OF JENNA FOX package!
Elana this is so freakin' sweet!!! What great prize packs! I'd love to win, though I know you have a ton of wonderful peeps!!!
I blogged about your wonderful news yesterday!!! I've seen it all over the blogosphere, you're definitely getting a lot of love!!
Congrats on your book deal!
And thanks for the great giveaway.
Both prizes look amazing, but if I could choose I'd take the first one.

congrats on your book. That is so awesome. Also awesome that you are giving away prizes to celebrate.
Thin mints! *cough* What I meant to say was, Feed:) You are such a dollface. We should be showering you with gifts and adoration.
Oh my, your celebratory giveaways are AMAZING!!
Please enter me I follow The League! ;-)
I would liek to eb entered for the #1st package: THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX prize package.
Thank you!
stella.exlibris (at) gmail (dot) com
What a fun idea, and since I read and loved both of these books, but own neither of them, and since I love both types of Girl Scout cookies, I would be happy with either prize.
I'm follower of both and I'm trying fortune again!
Thanks for the contest! :D
Yeah! For Book publishing and book giveaways!
I would prefer the Adoration of Jenna Fox package if I should happen to win!
Thanks bunches :D
I followed them yesterday (lol) and I would definitely want the first prize. The book just looks so shiny. (And my dad would really like those peanut butter patties. LOL)
Congrats again Elana. I didn't want to follow because I thought I didn't like dystopian novels. But I LOVED The Giver! What do you know? I DO like them!!!
The Feed Package would be my first choice but darl'n both are AWESOME!!!
I am just ecstatic for you and over the moon! yay yay yay!
I am following the League!
Visit My Kingdom Anytime
I'd love the feed package!
Wow, this is a great giveaway!
FEED me! These contests are so much fun :)
still such an awesome contest!
both packages are sweet, but #2 edges out #1 for me by just a smidgen
Following & Would LOVE the Feed pack! Your prizes are always awesome! I have bubble bath to prove it :)
I'm a follower of your blog and TLoEW
I'd love The Adoration of Jenna Fox package, but both look wonderful :)
Thank you for the giveaway!
The Contest Junkie couldn't stay away for long. :)
I'm not too fussy. There're perks to both prizes. But if I have to pick, I'll say the Jenna one. But wait. I looooove the mint cookies. Seriously love the mint cookies. And a 10 page crit would be cool. But then again, I've changed my query. Again. Okay, the Jenna one. :D
Yay for day 2! You should get your book published more often! ;)
I'm going for the FEED package but would happily take Jenna Fox too.
Follower of both already!
I can tell by these giveaways that you are REALLY excited :D Thanks for the awesomeness!
I follow the League of Extraordinary Writers and this is my comment! I'd really like the Feed prize package (because of the notebook, which sounds yummy) if you can.
raokiki6(at)gmail(dot)com
Your contests are awesome, Elana! (Can't wait to see what happens when the ARC comes out. ;D ) Started following yesterday.
I've been dying to read Jenna Fox, and I love Peanut Butter Patties! If I don't win, I should take this as a sign that I need to run out and get it.
Congrats, again! You must be so elated.
Lovin' the dystopian theme! :) Count me in!
Contests are so exciting! I'd have to pick the first one- love, love the book cover!
Elana, you so flipping rock for this. And such awesome books, too!
I follow both blogs.
Yesterday I was in the mood for peanut butter but today, I need minty fresh breath. That and I really want to read FEED.
Congrats again. You are made out of awesome sauce.
Mm! Feed and Thin Mints sound like a delicious combination!
Started following the blog after I saw Elena speak at a writer's workshop. Can't wait to get the book. Crossing my fingers that I win a prize package. I never win anything, dangit!
These have got to be the coolest contests ever, Elana. I totally want to read The Adoration of Jenna Fox, so that would be cool.
I love dystopian lit too. I think it's very cool that you can write it.
I would love the FEED prize pack! :)
Yay Elana, they both seem sound awesome on amazon, so Jenna Fox- or either would be great.
THanks, you rock.
Wow! Thanks for the generous offers. I think Prize Pack #2 has a slight edge. I follow League of Writers with Google Reader. I also signed up on their page to enter that contest.
Oh, to read Feed and be fed by Thin Mints. Both packages are great. Thank you for your generosity. This is a fun celebration week with you!
Me! Me! Me! - does that count as a comment? :P Okay, may be not. ;)
Already following League of Writers blog.
And most importantly, congratulations. And if I get to choose, I would like the second package please. A notebook wins over a shoulder bag any day ;)
Hey, E!
Sign me up for the Adoration of Jenna Fox package :D
Congrats again!
I'd love to win The Adoration of Jenna Fox prize pack.
I follow The League.
Margay
More awesome prizes! Hmmm...I think my first choice today is the Feed package. Woo-hoo! :-)
You're very popular on the Internet this week. Congratulations, again. I'll take either one. I already follow you on The League of Extraordinary Writers.
Yay - another chance. I'd like to have the Adoration of Jenna Fox package. You're awesome Elana.
I like the adoration of jenna fox prize package! :)
Dystopians are great! Congrats!
Please include me only if this is open internationally, thank you!
precious_shusky@yahoo.com
Oh Please! Pick me pick me! =) You know, my birthday IS coming up...
Hmmm... tough choice, but again those thin mint cookies are calling my name. But I'd love either option. :-)
Congrats again! You're so sweet to be doing such big giveaways like this all week. You rock!!
Again, congrats. And thanks for hosting all these awesomeness give-aways!
I really want that bag, so The Adoration of Jenna Fox package pls.
Already follow the LEAGUE--went over and read your awesome post. Commented, of course.
The prizes are all awesome. If I had to pick, I'd probably go for Jenna, simply because I've heard so much buzz about that lately.
Fantastic giveaways, Elana! I'm leaning toward the Jenna Fox pkg (but it's a tough call, lol).
The first prize would be ideal. (This is me participating.) Now to follow the blog! =)
Elana, you're a great prize-picker-outer. I like Prize Package Two best.
You have moy excellente taste! :)
I love that you love dystopians. I adore them. Congrats on getting your work published! I hope to be in the same boat as you one day!
I'm going to say prize pack one. Also, thank you for supporting the Girl Scouts :)-----> troop leader here.
I can't wait to read your book! I'm still stuck on prize pack #1. You're such a sweetheart. :)
Such prizes! You are the bestest. I can't wait until your ARC is in the giveaway.
Oh how can we keep up with such daily awesomeness from you?! Wow! I would love to win EITHER one of those packages - honestly, I can't choose! I'm lusting over both. So if I win, surprise me! :)
Following The League! Thanks!!
Congrats on the book deal!
I am a follower of The League of Extraordinary Writers (love that name).
I like prize pack #1 today, but would definitely be happy with either. :)
Sign me up for the Jenna Fox package. Thanks.
I've heard amazing things abotu The Adoration of Jenna Fox but haven't read it yet. I'd LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win that package!
(and it's only an added bonus it comes with my favorite GS cookies)
What a great giveaway! I would take either but if I must choose...I would like #1. Thanks!
FEED me. ;)
Thanks for all of your generous contests, Elana!
Congrats! I love dystopian literature and so I am so excited for you! I also love the contests! I would prefer the Adoration one!
Congratulations!!
This is a great contest with fabulous prizes!
YAY! I'm following both blogs.
I'd like either one, but I would prefer the Adoration of Jenna Fox.
Thanks!!!

Still a follower of both - what, did you think I was going anywhere?
Both prize packs sound AWESOME - would prefer the FEED pack, though.
Cheers,

Two great prizes! I'd prefer the Feed package (only because I already have Jenna Fox in hardcover) but either one looks great.
I would love to win either prize.... and by the way CONGRATS...
That is exciting.
I can't believe I missed Day One! Congrats to the winners - those are awesome prizes.
For Day Two, I'd love either but if I had a choice I'd say Package #1.
What a generous giveaway, Elana!
Elana, you really know how to throw a party! If I'm lucky enough to be chosen I'll take package number one.
What an epic celebration! If chosen, I would pick the FEED package. You rock!
Awesome! So happy for you & what great giveaways to celebrate!
Congrats to the winners!
These posts are making my mornings! I'm back, and the FEED package looks awesome.
Elana...I'm so happy for you! Congrats!!! I guess since you are expecting a package choice I will say feed. But seriously congrats!
Thank you for all the congrats, and I wouldn't be even a tenth of the blogger I am without you guys! You all deserve it!
Drat! I haven't read either of those books (please don't hit me) so I wouldn't mind either package.
Elana: Again major congratulations on getting published and starting the second blog! I'm a follower of both, so go ahead and add my name to the drawing list. Truly, I don't have a preference for either package. Both would be good to win. So go with what the second person wishes to have, and I'll take the other.
Yet if I do need to make a choice, I'll take the Jenna Fox package.
Woo hoo, great contest! Love all of this. I've put a link to your new site on my blog too!
I am a follower of both. I love dystopic novels. Again with congrats for finding a publisher!!
Congrats on your happy news :):):)
Good for you!
And I follow your new dystopian, league of extraordinary writers. . . blog too :)
Sweet contest!
Congrats on the publishing! Either prize pack is good, but #1 is my first choice. Thanks. =)
Count me in. I'd still like a critique from you.
YEAH, YEAH, YEAH so happy to celebrate with you--and to follow the League! For me, remembering that book deal phone call just never gets old. Recently told the husband I think I'd have flashes of joy from that moment for YEARS. Love both prizes but guess I'll request JENNA FOX.
Yikes, how can one choose between those two awesome books?! I can't, so will have to go with the cookie tiebreaker and go for package two with the thin mints.
Awesome contest! And mega congrats!
Since I can only pick one, I pick the Jenna Fox prize package.
I must say, I am very impressed with your crafting skills. Methinks you will have no trouble producing swag to give away at your book signings. :)
Hi, Elana!
First of all, congrats to the winners of yesterday's contest.
Next, as you already know, I'm a "follower" of The League of Extraordinary Writers blog.
Furthermore, my choice for today is the "Feed prize package".
Thank you and best wishes to all of the entrants of today's awesome contest.
Sincerely,
Cynde
Cynde's Got The Write Stuff
Ooo. I'd love to read Feed so sign me up for the Feed prize package.
*faint* More goodies? You are too good to us!
I'd pick the Feed prize pack. It was tough...but the Thin Mints got me in the end. It's true, I'm motivated by my stomach :).
Congrats again!
Jessica
I'll take either one! (Dear karma goddesses, please pick me. Life has been hard today.)
Still so excited for you about the publication news. I'm a follower of both blogs :). I'd love the second package but mostly I just want to read your book From the Query to the Call. I'm going to pitching and querying later this year so I bet it would be super helpful.
I'm following both, girl. I'm so thrilled for you (and the prospect of some good books and pb Girl Scout cookies!!).
Your contests are seriously awesome. I'm a follower and would love to be entered for Package #1, as I already have a copy of FEED. :)
Can't wait to find your book in stores!
Yep, I'm following (squirming a lil cause the design is the same as my blog--promise I didn't see it before I started mine!), and I would be equally happy with either package (insert coin flip here). Fingers are crossed because I'll be out to sea the rest of the summer and my berthing-mates and I could really use a care package like these.
Oooh! You make choosing so hard. Your contests are the best. Okay, Jenna Fox I've been wanting to read. Package #1 (though I am FINE with either). *hopehopehope*
I'm sending brain waves to Random.org right now. :)
Elana, you're the queen of awesome! Jenna, please!!
Congrats on getting your book published, Elana! I look forward to seeing it on the bookshelves.
Wow, Elana, you're the giveaway queen! :) Either one would make me happy.
Oooo I think I'll go for The Adoration of Jenna Fox for this one :D Congrats again!
I would like the Feed prize package.
Girl, I just retweeted this. So cool!
FEED is another on my list. Put me in for that one!
Following.
Tough call...but I think I would rather #1.
Congrats!
Is that paper Chatterbox? It looks very chatterbox to me.

Elana - I totally love that one of your prized is Girl Scout Cookies. Not that I haven't had my share this year...I'd love to win, but I also just want to say "congrats!"
If I were to win - I'd be excited for either prize. :)
Hmm...Adoration of Jenna Fox:)
You're such a doll!! :)
I would love the Feed prize package :D
Awesome! I want the Feed package. I'm going to follow The League right now. Again, congrats! You are awesome.
Super Cool! I'm going with The Feed package. :)
These are so awesome. Just like you. I'd take the Jenna Fox package. :)
Cool. And congrats to Karen on her win yesterday.
Julia's post today at League was fascinating as well.
..........dhole
This is a serious Extravaganza!!!! And I'm loving it! I love them both!
I follow The League.
I'd love the Jenna Fox pack!
I follow the LOER too.
More prizes! Excellent!
Ahh, Elana, I'm just so excited for you! I follow the League. I'd love the feed package...but wouldn't kick either one out of bed. :)
You're so cool to be doing this. I love both the prizes, did everything you asked, so can I please have that awesome notebook now, you Girl of Many Talents???
:o)
Have a great day and thanks for EPIC drawings!
Just found your blog via Slushbusters and wanted to stop by and shout WOO HOOOOO! Congratulations on your book deal. Well done!
Love your blog, btw!
Ooh, and the excitement continues. Both packages look neat I can't decide between them.
FEED prize package would be awesome! What a week for you!
Great contest! And what a thing to celebrate for! :)
I'd like to win the FEED prize pack more just because I am in love with Thin Mints! Both prizes are both pretty awesome tho! :)
Commenting, commenting, commenting Queen E. *Shrug* Either...I have no say in my house. Why should it be any different here?? LOL
Hi, Elana. CONGRATS ON YOUR BOOK DEAL!!
I follow your blog, the League blog, as well as you on Twitter. Um...stalker much? :)
Anyway, I'd be thrilled with either prize pack.
And thanks for all your awesome posts - you've been a big help time and time again to this fellow YA writer.
Cheers!
I'd love to win the FEED package. If nothing else, I am adding books to my to-read list.
They both sound awesome! Congrats!
Congratulations, Elana! I am so excited for you - and for your book. I can hardly wait to purchase it and read it from cover to cover. This is my FIRST contest entry. I'm a virgin. I've not entered any others yet because they haven't excited as much as this one does! Both packages are amazing, but I would love FEED. That personalized notebook would fit right into my purse and I could write in crowded lunchrooms on my breaks during my teaching stints! And the hubby loves Thin Mints. I'm willing to share. Thanks for doing this! You are being very generous. Karma will come back around, just wait. You rock!
Again congratulations, Elana. I'm already a follower of the League blog. Glad that you're blogging over there also.
I'm throwing my hat in the contest too.
Congrats. The Feed Group prize is great. I follow and posted about it on my blog. It is a great blog. Thanks for all your info.
Congrats to the winners of yesterday's prizes.
I'd love the FEED package. :)
This is so exciting!!
I'd LOVE the Adoration package.
Congrats again!!!
I follow the League and would love the FEED pack.
Wow, both packs sound amazing. Both are on my listtt. And, beside the books, I love PB, but I also would love the notebook. Hmm... decisions, decisions....
Hm....
I think....
Aw, I don't know!
I think I'll go with The Adoration of Jenna Fox
bratdownstairs @yahoo.com
Holy peanut butter cookies! I so want to win!
I've been a follower of the League since the first day of tweets.
Congrats again on the book deal. :)
Please enter me in this stupendous contest. I'm a follower of here and there, and congrats big time on your book. How many times can I say that? As many times I can comment, I guess :)
How awesome are you with these giveaways, and congrats again! I'm following :) Tough, but I gotta say the Feed package.
I love these prizes. The bookmarks are so cutesy! How do you have time? I won't be picky. I would take either one. :-)
Sign me up for your contest please. My fav is the 1st group of prizes. I'm holding my breath until your book is out. --Ok, not true, but I am looking forward to id.
Awesome contest Elana! I'm so happy for you! What a great week ;o) I bet you are just in "cliche alert" seventh heaven ;o)
Thanks for the link to your other blog! I am now a follower ;o)
Can't wait to see what other exciting things happen this week!
FEED please!
Wow, you're really giving out the loot! Makes my giveaway look pathetic...
Great contest! I'm already a follower. The Jenna Fox package would be cool.
Give aways galore...how exciting..
I'd like the Adoration of Jenna Fox.
You Rock, Elana!!
I have no idea which package to pick, though the thin mints are still rather tempting! You choose. :-)
Love both the packs but I have to say I like the Jenna Fox one better.

I am so in. Which one, which one.... Feed me Seymour!
I like both prize packs so either one would be wonderful!
Thank you so much for another giveaway! I'm already a League follower :D
entrelibros_blog at hotmail dot com
Yay! I'm cool with either prize pack! :)
YAY! I'm gonna pick number two this time. I've read # 1 (loved it) but I like new books :)
I'm in for the Jenna Fox package! Thanks!
I haven't read either book yet so either package is great for me :)
How do you find time to do bookmarks????
FEED me woman :)
I'd love either one of those. The Adoration of Jenna Fox was amazing, and I've been meaning to read Feed for way too long. I'm leaning more towards the first one because I already know I love it. Thanks, Elana!
I don't mind either one of the packages but if I had to choose I'd go for Adoration of Jenna Fox please!
lesly7ch(at)yahoo(dot)com
This is all so exciting!!! I'd choose Adoration of Jenna Fox.
Congratulations that is so exciting!!!!!!!
I wouldn't mind either, but prefer the Feed one. Huge congrats! :)

I would love the feed package!
twilightforever.edward(at)gmail(dot)com
Great prizes! I would love to win the Adoration of Jenna Fox pkg.
Have to go with Feed because I'd love a 10-page critique!
Seriously, I NEED to read the Adoration of Jenna Fox. For real. I've been going to order it for weeks, but am waiting to get through the stack that keeps growing on my dresser before I buy it. But still, I totally want to win that.
And BTW, what did you think of I Am Not a Serial Killer and Mr. Monster? Or have you finished them yet?

Wahoo! Congratulations on your awesome news!
And what awesome giveaways! I also love dystopian novels and look forward to reading yours!
THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX for me!
Fab contest. I'd like the Feed package.
(PS: I read Adoration of Jenna Fox. Meh. There's much better writing out there, you know? Just my opinion...)
All I know is I want the peanut butter Girl Scout Cookies. They're the Tagalongs, right? I'm craving them.
Your giveaways are pretty much the awesomest!
I'm in it to win it! :)
I would love the Feed package.
I am really interested in trying girl scout cookies as I've heard so much about them but never had the chance to try them before.
I follow both blogs
Elana, I have been so busy and had missed your good news! Congratulations and all the best for the future.
Living in Cyprus I am not sure I stand a chance at winning. I would love to win any package, they look wonderful.
Happy Scribbling! I can see your smile from here!
If I'm not too late, I'll choose the FEED package -- because I just borrowed JENNA FOX from the library! (Totally random pick, too. And I just love it when I randomly choose a book and then it appears in a blog post soon after. It feels like fate.) ;)
I'm entering too if I'm not too late!:)
Jenna Fox, please. Sarah xx
Jenna Fox, please. Sarah xx
This is so much fun! Pick me! :) I'll take either one.
