GETTING AWAY WITH IT advance copy contest

Filed under: contests, Getting Away With It

Getting Away With It by Julie Cohen It’s October, which means it’s publication month for GETTING AWAY WITH IT in hardcover. Yay!

To celebrate, I’m running a contest for all of this month.

If you sign up for my newsletter* between 1 October and 27 October, you’ll be in with a chance to win one of three advance reading copies of GETTING AWAY WITH IT. These are the copies that, like, only the cool and important people get, man.

All you have to do is one of the following. You can either:

Put your email address in a comment to the post below. (Just to be safe, you might want to replace the @ sign with the word “at”.)

Send me an email using the “Contact” link above. Put “contest” or something similar in the subject line, so I know it’s not spam.**

If you already get my newsletter, you can enter, too. All you have to do is to send me an email with “contest” or similar in the subject line.**

Want an extra chance to win? Tell your friends, family, neighbours and co-workers, and get them to send me an email or leave a comment, subscribing to my newsletter. If they mention your name, I’ll enter you in the draw again. So, in theory, if you tell 2453 people about my book and my contest, and they all sign up, you can be entered 2454 times. Wow!!***

This contest is open to readers worldwide.

*I send out my newsletter when I have a new book out, or I’m doing an event, or have some really big news. It’s pretty infrequent and I try to make them moderately amusing.

**You could also write me a little message if you liked. That would cheer up my day.

***Actually, I’ll be very happy if you just tell one or two people.

This story sounds so much fun. I once met someone who was training to be a stuntwoman and was very jealous of the many strange and wonderful skills she learned along the way.

BTW, thanks also for the link to the Writing Playground – great site!

At 4:37 pm Julie said:

Thanks everyone for your comments! I will sign you up for the contest.

And yes, Fi-Chan, commenting here and leaving your email will get you signed up for my newsletter. I don’t have a specific form; basically you have to send me an email or ask to be put on the list (by entering a contest, or similar). I’m getting a redesign of my site soon so hopefully it will be a bit clearer.

If you retweet this contest, or post it on your blog or facebook page and send me a link, then I’ll also enter you an extra time. Once for Twitter, once for Facebook, once for blog or other social media. So you can have up to four extra entries for helping me to spread the word.

I think I’ve emailed everyone who’s entered so far. If you haven’t had an email, it’s because I haven’t got your email correct, or because your spam filter’s got it.

Thank you so much, everyone, for entering! The contest is still going until the 27th.
