No Strings Giveaway Hop

Hello Readers!

Another hop means another great prize for you!  Like I did last year, I am participating in The No Strings Attached Giveaway Hop hosted by hop extraordinaire Kathy over at I Am A Reader, Not A Writer (Thanks Kathy!)

Before I reveal what the prize is up for grabs, I want to share a little story with you (yes, this story is connected to part of the prize).

Every year a plethora of teen authors get together for one very special reason: The NYC Teen Author Festival. At the end of a week full fun events these said authors gather at Books of Wonder, NYC’s local  children’s bookstore, and hosts one massive author signing. Now, I’ve attended many of the events that happen throughout the week, but the one event I make sure NEVER to miss is the mega signing.

Last year was no exception, armed with (a ton of ) books and a sharpie marker I made my rounds to all the authors I wanted to meet.  And there were many. But while I was getting books signed, I also got a flier signed …. by almost every author I met that day.

You’re wondering what’s up for grabs, aren’t you?

One lucky winner will win this:

A (used) paperback copy of The Cupcake Queen by Heather Hepler, an assortment of bookmarks, and the NYC Teen Author Festival Flier signed by: Gina Damico, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Susane Colasanti, Jeri Smith-Ready, E. C. Myers, Carolyn Mackler, Charlotte Bennardo, Kim Harrington, Kate Ellison, Stephanie Perkins,  John Corey Whaley, Arlaina Tiensky, Melissa De La Cruz, Jon Skovron, Victoria Schwab, and Barry Lyga.

Contest open to U.S. Residents only.
