I'll Share!

Because I like you guys so much, I'll be sharing a few things in the coming week.

Right now, the first three chapters of ONE HUNDRED THIRTY STARS are on Wattpad for everyone to check out!

And on Wednesday the 11th, the release day for STARS, there will be a giveaway for a free e-book and a 20 page critique!

I'm also planning a Goodreads giveaway of the paperback version of STARS for the near future. Stay tuned for chances to win free stuff, and if you're looking for something to read, feel free to hop on over to Wattpad.

Besides free books, what other prizes do you like to see in giveaways? I'm looking to do more of them this year, so any tips are welcome!

Fun stuff coming up :) For giveaways, I typically don't like any of the bookmarks or other "little" prizes. I think free books are awesome.

Good luck with everything! And I see people giving away all sorts of things. Perhaps something fun relating to the book or gift cards.

What I've personally found does best in generating interest in giveaways is an Amazon gift card. A word of warning, though--I noticed some people enter JUST to win the gift card. They don't care anything about your book. In every giveaway I did, I had one person ignore my email saying they'd won a copy of my book. They just wanted the gift card.

Tiana - Yeah, I agree. I'm not so crazy about the little things, but free books are great.

Cherie - Thanks! Yeah, I always think it's neat when authors give away gifts related to their book.

Stephanie - Oh, thanks for the heads up about gift cards. I can see how that would happen.
