To celebrate the blog's fifth birthday, I'm giving away three books and three partial critiques. The winning readers will be able to choose one of the following books:
A.L. Sonnichsen's RED BUTTERFLY (hardcover pre-order)
Liesl Shurtliff's RUMP (paperback) or JACK (hardcover pre-order)
Tara Dairman's ALL FOUR STARS (hardcover)
The winning writers will win 30-page critiques. I'm willing to critique any category, any genre (provided that the first thirty pages are no worse than PG-13-rated), so bring it on!
To enter, just leave a comment on this post and LET ME KNOW WHETHER YOU WANT TO BE ENTERED IN THE BOOK GIVEAWAY, THE CRITIQUE GIVEAWAY, OR BOTH. Anyone may enter to win one of the partial critiques, but the books are only available to US and Canadian residents. (My apologies to my international readers!) Both contests close in two weeks, on Tuesday, September 30, at 11:59 p.m. EDT (or 8:59 p.m. PDT). I'll select the random winners the next day!
Congrats on the five year anniversary/birthday! I'd love a chance to win the critique.

ReplyDeleteI'd love to be entered in the critique giveaway. If I win, can I collect later? I'll have a new MS ready in a month or so (I hope).
Congrats! You're much more dedicated to blogging than I have been the past few years. ^_^;;
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered for the critique.
Hi Krista! I'd love to be entered in both. (But I should mention I already have RED BUTTERFLY coming to me from Janet's giveaway this summer--and statistically speaking, that gives me less of a chance of winning two giveaways, but maybe I'll get lucky.)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful opportunity! I would like to be entered in both!
ReplyDeleteBOOK GIVEAWAY
ReplyDeleteBecause I'd love to have any of those books. And I had to check, but I started blogging about four years ago. Slowed down a little, lately.
Congrats again! And thanks for the giveaway opportunity, I'd like to be entered for both, please! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Keeping up a blog for that long is amazing. I've been trying to blog myself for the past few months but my procrastinating keeps getting the best of me. I would like to be entered into both giveaways please. Thanks and here's to another five years. :D
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog, and 5 years is awesome! Please enter me in the book giveaway... I have read three of the four books, and they are all some of my very favorite middle grade reads! Looking forward to the one I haven't read yet, Jack.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again. And I would love to be entered in the book giveaway.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for all your hard work, especially with the agent contests and informative agent interviews.
Congratulations!!! I would love to be entered in both contests... Thanks a ton!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteI had to go look up when I started. I'll have five years next month. The only people who commented on my first post were Q and Steph Perkins, but with the way things have turned out since then, that's actually pretty cool. :o)
I'd love to be entered for any of the books. Thanks!
And if anyone besides Krista is reading this, her critiques are THE BEST! She and the aforementioned Q are always my first readers.
Happy blog anniversary, Krista! I've been enjoying your posts for years. Thanks so much for all you do for the writing community. I'd love a chance for BOTH.
ReplyDelete5 years is awesome! I'd LOVE to win a critique! And a book. But if I had to pick...a CRITIQUE! Thx

I'd love to be entered for both, but though my pages are mostly PG13, they do have some language. It's up to you whether to include them or not. Thanks again!
