LOSING FAITH by Denise Jaden.
BREAK by Hannah Moskowitz.
There are many, many ways to get extra entries for this contest.
Mandatory thing:
1. Fill out the form by Sunday, September 26 at midnight.
Optional things:
1. +1 for commenting on this post
2. +2 for tweeting about this contest
3. +2 for posting or linking this contest on your blog/website/facebook
4. +1 for each of my co-organizer’s blogs or websites that you follow (Shannon, LiLa, Casey, Jamie, Jen)
5. +10 for donating to the WriteOnCon website (over on the right side, down under the follow widget)
Now…listen. WriteOnCon is something we designed to be totally and completely free for everyone, so we hate taking money from anyone. But, unfortunately, the only way we can avoid another Error 403 disaster is to have way better web hosting, and sadly, that doesn’t come for free—no matter how much we bat our eyelashes.
So sadly we have to pay to keep WriteOnCon 2011 EPIC. But we want to make a few things clear:
-You DO NOT have to donate to enter (or win) any of these contests
-You DO NOT have to donate to participate in the live events
-You DO NOT have to donate to attend our next conference
-IF you decide to donate, we’re only recommending something small, like $5.00
So it’s completely up to you if you want to donate. If you can—THANK YOU, and we wanted to reward you with extra contest entries. If you can’t—no worries. Absolutely none!
Okay?
Okay.
The FORM IS HERE.
Stealing from Candyland...Elana out.
Oh, wait! What do you have in your life that is amazingly amazing? Or epically epic??
Entering now. Thank you so much for hosting this contest!
ReplyDeleteAwesome contest. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing thing for me is that using your awesome 30 day editing technique I was able to cut a needed 8000 words from my manuscript. I might not finish it in quite a month but I'm pretty happy. Thanks for sharing the tip.
Ooh, great books! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! You really know how to make a reader smile! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAwesome prize! Loving your Epic giveaways... :)
ReplyDeleteBreak is absolutely on my list, so winning that would be muy excellente.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the events.
You girls are just going crazy with the awesome! It's like Christmas around the blogosphere today!
ReplyDeleteyou guys rawk as always!
ReplyDeleteLOL Losing Faith arrived in my mailbox yesterday. :D
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for more WriteOnCon. After watching the vlog on making a character collage, I just knew I had to try it out (was never interested in doing it before). The results were amazing. It's like having the character in the room with you. I can't wait for more brilliant WriteOnCon advice. :D
I had to laugh about your title observation. Sometimes they take me longer than a post to create.
ReplyDeleteGreat contest! And yes, with contests on WriteOnCon and on each of your blogs, this is both amazing and epic.
ReplyDeleteI caught my son telling a story to himself the other day, following the picture book rules of structure, story arc, repetition of key words and phrases, repetition of scene structure, "the rule of three", and using different voices for each character. It was textbook. My son is three. Pretty darn amazing.
Great contest! I'm entering right now.
ReplyDeleteI've been sadly unable to participate in WriteOnCon, but I hope the con will continue, and these contests are great! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, Elana and all for continuing to knock our socks off. I'm so glad that I can give back in some way for all that you guys have done for all of us. Thanks for letting us donate and help out in a small way!
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome! I do have some awesome news myself, but I have a hold out a little longer before officially announcing :)
ReplyDeleteThe epic awesomeness (or the awesome epicness) just goes on and on!
ReplyDeleteWow~
Shelley
Great contest - you guys are all awesome for all the hard work you've put into this :)
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, sounds like a great way to do things. Epic in my world? my poem gets published tomorrow (wednesday!) and I'm doing two blogfests! Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteA. Titling blog posts is absolutely impossible. I always change mine 12 times because I can never find that good mix of witty, information-giving, and attention-grabbing. Also I'm wordy.
ReplyDeleteB. Woot! WriteOnCon rocks my FACE off.
Wow. This is great! You guys are really doing great things with this. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question "What do you have in your life that is amazingly amazing? Or epically epic??"
I have my sweet hubby in my life. Celebrated 14 years together last month, so that's all kinds of amazing in my eyes. Woot!!!!
You WRiteOnCon ladies are pretty freaking amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou just keep blowing my mind, Elana! Thanks for all you're doing for the YA community!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I said in my entry that I didn't donate. But then the awesomeness of Write On Con totally pulled at my heartstrings and I totally did.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great contest. I blogged about it before I read your post. The conference was so amazing, I'm happy to give back. : )
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so cool!! Thank you so much ;o)
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so cool! Keep the contests coming...I've got to win something sometime, right? :)
ReplyDeleteAmazingly amazing for me right now is my brand new adopted baby brother. He's so smiley, and easy to love :)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Thanks so much~!
I'll hop on this ASAP! You WriteOnConers are awesome! You know that?
ReplyDeleteThis blogging community is amazingly amazing AND epically epic! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou know what is epic epicness and amazingly amazingness?
ReplyDeleteYou WOC chickadees! *fist pump*
I know (KNOW!) how difficult it is to keep up with life, family, chores, errands, jobs, writing, editing, blogging, commenting...and to add this kind of time consuming extra work into your lives is EPIC (insanity?) kindness and generosity.
As for my life...it is ALL amazing. I'm blessed.
Love and Hugs,
Lola
I can't wait for 2011 to get here. There are so many great books coming out.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are awesome! And I really want ot read LOSING FAITH!

ReplyDeleteYou guys are awesome. Seriously awesome.
ReplyDeleteWriteOnCon, the gift that keeps on giving. :) EPIC, indeed!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I'm excited that WriteOnCon is still alive and kicking even after the actual conference.
ReplyDeleteI have filled out a form, but I'm from Canada and I'm unsure if this is international or not. If it isn't, then just don't bother with my entry.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are truly authors who give back. I hope if I ever get to the published stage I follow your example.
ReplyDeleteLike LauraChristine I'm from Canada, your neighbors to the north.
Sometimes I think of a great title and then I am so off the topic in my post I have to change it.
ReplyDeleteMy awesomeness is the few hours in the dead of night that I have to write...oh yeah and my family and all that.lol
Sounds great! Thanks:)
ReplyDeleteBoth of these books look great. Thanks for continuing WriteOnCon!
ReplyDeleteThat video rocks!
ReplyDeleteYay, more WriteOnCon!!! Maybe I won't totally miss it like I did the annual...I'm still sad about that. :(
I'm here! I did all my things and filled out the form thingie!
ReplyDeleteEvery hour? Sweet!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. I hope they raising what they need.
ReplyDeleteYay for WriteOnCon!

ReplyDeleteEpically epic? WriteOnCon, of course.
ReplyDeleteI did some epic driving today, shuttling everyone around all day, so I missed out on the awesomeness at WriteOnCon, but I'm glad this contest is still open!
ReplyDeleteWhat is amazingly amazing? The ability to finish a manuscript and say to myself, "Wow, I've done it." The opportunity to make friends (even if they're only in your head and on your manuscript pages). The chance to create your own worlds.
ReplyDeleteAnd... seeing as I didn't win anything from blogfest... here's hoping I'll be lucky this time!
Put it on Paper
