A Drawing/Giveaway for Mary Emma Allen’s Anthology
July 29, 2008 by Mary Emma Allen
I’m featuring a drawing/giveaway (in conjunction with the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival) for a copy of my self-published children’s anthology,Tales of Adventure & Discovery, described in the post, Mary Emma Allen Publishes a Children’s Anthology .It contains fun stories for youngsters, ages approximately 6-10. I also illustrated the anthology.
Authors (generally considered home business owners) may find ideas in it to use for a book project they’re considering publishing. Parents and children like the stories. Teachers also use this book in their classroom, and I include it when giving author presentations and teaching writing workshops for children and adults.
The second part to this above post will come “live” on Thursday, July 31. Here I describe illustrating and selecting a cover. In future posts, I’ll discuss some of my promotion techniques and spinoffs.
To enter the random drawing, leave a comment below. (Be sure to include your e-mail…which won’t appear except for me…so I’ll be able to contact you if you’re the winner.) I’d enjoy hearing how you’d use the book if your name is drawn. Or share your self-publishing experiences with us.
The drawing is open only to those who live in the United States or have a postal address here. The closing date is Tuesday, Aug. 5, at 11:59 PM (EDST).
