It's March, which means both Melissa and I have birthdays. So instead of expecting gifts, I've decided to thin my herd of writing books by giving some away. These books should be circulating, helping others, instead of gathering dust as I ignore them. So if you write, or want to write, or know someone who writes, these books are for you.
I'll have four 'drawings,' one each Monday, until March---and winter---have both slipped away.
The first give-away is a group of three books about writing for young adults. They're good books, brand-new, and I've gleaned all I can from them.
Interested? Just post a comment. Next Monday (March 7th) I'll pick a winner from those who've commented, then I'll announce the next group of books.
The three books are:
Writing Great Books For Young Adults, by Regina Brooks
Wild Ink: How to Write Fiction for Young Adults , by Victoria Hanley
Writing and Selling the YA Novel, by K.L. Going

Would absolutely love to read through these. Besides, I have an 11 year old daughter who loves to write...you never know.
ReplyDeleteNot planning on doing any writing for young adults myself but do know of an aspiring writer who would be delighted to get the books. So I'd be more than happy to pass them on to her. Thanks for your generosity in passing them along!
ReplyDeletePlanning on starting the first book of a YA series (hopefully) in the next three months.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE these books.
Thanks for doing this, very cool.
I love your idea of giving away some of your books. They tend to accumulate in our house, too. My 14 yr old daughter would love your books about writing. She writes stories quite often, and she's an avid reader, also.
ReplyDeleteMy bookshelves are groaning under the weight of far too many books, too, but I'd love to add these to my collection. I've been playing with the idea of broadening my reading audience and writing for YAs -- this might be the boot in the bum I need! Thanks for this opportunity!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a chance to win the books. I've got a couple of ideas that have been fermenting for a couple of years, but am at a loss as to how to proceed.
