Linky Madness (aka contests for readers and writers)

There’s lots of AWESOME going on right now, and I wanted to share some of it with you.


First, make sure you enter MY CONTEST where you can win critiques or a free book. Contest ends Friday!

Second, if you have a book currently for sale, enter KarenG’s awesome contest to support writers: she will buy your book and review it on her blog, Amazon, and Goodreads. Karen has an awesome pay-it-forward attitude I try to emulate.

Third, a whole host of great writers, bloggers, agents, and other literati (including blogger friends Cynthia Reese, Matthew Rush, and Beth Revis) are helping get micro-loans to Ghana by donating critiques and other giveaways. This amazing contest is WIN all around – a good cause and great prizes.

Fourth, subscribe to Random House’s new blog Random Acts of Reading, created by ten sales reps at Random House Children’s Books, and be entered in a contest for four free books!

Finally, some of my favorite guy-librarian-types have started a new blog, Boys Rock, Boys Read!!! I’ve put them on my sidebar, just because they are so awesome in encouraging boys to read. They also have fun boys-eye perspective reviews!
