18 Days to Go…launch party ideas?

So, it just really hit me that there’s WAY less than a month to go before Still Sucks to Be Me is released! Ack! And I haven’t set up the big launch contest yet!

So I’m working on what the prizes will be now…I’m thinking part of the grand prize would be an author visit/presentation (unlimited attendees) and/or author visit/pizza party type of thing for you and up to 20 of your friends. Thoughts on that? Do you like the idea? I’d probably have to restrict it to be just in the US or Canada though…

Anything else you’d like to see? What do you think people should have to do to enter?

I will entertain all suggestions, no matter how wacky! So let me know! What would you like to win? What would you like to have to do???

UPDATE: If you happen on this post, the Launch Contest is now up and running until June 11th, 2010!

    Well, living in the UK means I couldn’t partake in any pizza eating festivities…boohoo…

    Obviously I’d like to win the book :)

    I like contests to be simple and I hate jumping through hoops just to enter a contest. That’s just my opinion though. I’ll still enter if I get a shot at winning the book! :) How about something creative like coming up with an original vampire name?

    PS – found the most beautiful photo of Rome today – if I can get it on the laptop, I’ll show you :)

      I like the idea that the winner or winners get a copy of the new book. ;)

      I think a good contest would be for people to draw what they think Mina (after turning or before?), George, Serena, Uncle Mortie, Mina’s parents, Aubrey, or Raven and whoever has the most creative idea wins. :)

    i think that having an author visit is a super cool idea, i would love that! I think the contest would be really cool if we had to make a playlist of songs we think fit with Sucks to Be Me, or i saw a really cool contest on anothers website when the readers had to pair two characters from different stories together (like Hermione Granger and Edward Cullen), and the most creative won. I think that would be cool to.

      I like this idea too, it could be interesting and it would make everyone be really creative just so we could win(:

    MAKE A VAMPIRE SQUIRREL!
    *did I mention that when reading the book I looked for five minutes at the top of every chapter looking for the squirrel.*

    BEST SQUIRREL WINS!

    If you want to make it competitive, have a short story contest with your characters! xD

    I think the winning the author visit is a GREAT idea for like first place, and maybe winning like a singed book from YOU, for like second place? That would be cool(:

  7. Charlotte

    *Great* idea!! 2nd place should be either (like bethany said) a signed book, or Video chat like you did with that high school!!
