I am so thrilled to have finished my fifth YA manuscript over the weekend! After several nights staying up until three in the morning, I completed the first draft and even finished the first round of revisions. As of this morning, the manuscript has been sent off to my critique partner, and I was so excited that I thought: "IT'S TIME FOR A GIVEAWAY!"
You have all been incredibly supportive, cheering me on through Twitter the entire way. I'd love to share how grateful I am by coming up with the coolest giveaway I could think of it. Are you ready for this? No, really. Are you ready?
Here it is!
One person will win the chance to pick ONE YA book of their choice. That's right, any YA book! It *must* be YA, for obvious reasons. Preferably something that has already been released, because waiting for something to come out would just be no fun.
This giveaway is open in the U.S. ONLY. I'm so sorry international peeps. I promise to do something for everyone next time! The Rafflecopter below will get you started. The contest is open until August 6th. Good luck!!
*update* Please leave your email, so I can contact you if you win!
UPDATE: THE WINNER IS JESSICA TAYLOR!!!

DeleteYay! 5 Manuscripts is pretty good! Congratulations and good luck with your revisions. =)
ReplyDeleteOh...whoops.
DeleteTo be honest, I think I would pre-order Crewel. Is that acceptable?
It would be preferable if it was already released. There's gotta be something on the shelf that you'd like to read! haha
DeleteI don't know if it's possible to pick one book! There's so much on my TBR list right now, I'm just going to throw darts at it.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Incarnate by Jodi Meadows is the winner!
A thousand congratulations on finishing your fifth manuscript! Wowie!
Thank you, Laura! I loved Incarnate!!! Such a great book to choose. :)
DeleteYou would have to pick for me b/c alas, I am but a poor MG writer and other than Anna Dressed in Blood which I'm already reading, I don't know of any right off the top of my noggin. You could pick for me and that would be even more fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! I like this. I think I'll surprise you if you win. :)

DeleteFrom someone who's written all of her life and never managed to finish a story no matter how awesome the plotline, I applaud you on finishing/revising! Yay! I think I would pick The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I've read so many of his books and all I've heard is praise!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ashlee! Now that's a book that I've been meaning to purchase for months. I hear so many good things.
