Okay! It’s finally time to post the Still Sucks to Be Me Fan ARC Contest! I’ve reserved at least three advance copies of Still Sucks to Be Me not for reviewers or official-type people but purely for fans of the first book. Because I love you guys. Because you make writing worthwhile. Because you ROCK.
I’ve been trying to come up with a good contest. Some authors have fans do all kinds of crazy things (there was a cool one recently where the author had people post and do what the craziest thing they would do to get the book would be). So I decided to kind of take all those ideas and give you extra chances to win 
Here’s what you gotta do…pick as many items as you want from the following list to do. Each one you do gets you an entrie(s) to win. If you do all of ‘em? You get lots of entries to win! Of course, you still have a chance to win if you do only one of them. If you’ve already done any of the items below, just note it when you comment and I’ll still give you the entry point towards that item!
- Follow me on Twitter. Comment back with your Twitter ID so I can confirm. (1 point)
- Fan me on Facebook. (1 point)
- Friend me on MySpace. (1 point)
- Sign up for my fan newsletter (1 point)
- Create any kind of fan art based on the books! (3 points) A drawing, a computer collage, a song, a poem, absolutely anything! You can e-mail it to me at kim@kimberlypauley.com and let me know it is part of your contest entry. Shoot, if you want to create more than once piece of art? I’ll give you points for each! And if you do something incredible, I will award extra points!
- Create a video book review (or some kind of video fan art/performance) and upload it to YouTube with the tags: “Sucks to Be Me, Book, Kimberly Pauley” (3 points)
- Tell a teacher or librarian how excited you are for the book! (1 point) If they e-mail me to confirm (make sure they tell me your name) OR ask me for a FREE Reading Group Guide, you’ll get an extra point! (1 point)
- Do anything you can think of to get the word out about the books and tell me what you did (1 to 3 points, depending on the difficulty level)
To enter, do the item(s) and then comment back on this post and/or e-mail me as appropriate with what you did. I’ll tally up all the points at the end of March and the winners will have the book in the first part of April! (Unless you guys would like me to cut the contest shorter…until March 15th? Then you’d have the book by the end of March, but you wouldn’t have as much time to get entries in…so your choice…comment and let me know!) UPDATE: The consensus seems to be March 15th! So I’ll end the contest then!
The contest is open to anyone, anywhere. Entrants under the age of 13 must have a parent or guardian confirm they can accept the prize if they win.
Hope you like the contest and have fun with it! Good luck!
Entry Tracking!
It was getting a little confusing, so I thought I would post here with who/what entries I have noted down. If you don’t see your name/entries on this list or you think you’ve got more than I’ve noted, LET ME KNOW by commenting below! My e-mail was getting really crazy, so I’m worried I might have missed some.
