The Kick-Ass Writer is now karate-chopping its way around the world in bookstores all over this great multidimensional omniverse.
I have a handful of physical copies of this book and I’d like to give them away.
I want to give a bunch of them away, in fact.
I want to give a bunch of them away all at one time.
And here’s how I’mma do it: I’m going to give them to your local writer’s group. (I don’t have any rigorous definition of “writer’s group” in mind, to be clear.)
I’ll give one book to each of the members of your writing group — up to ten, anyway. (And I’ll send them to one point person in the group, not to all of you individually. Because I’m hella lazy.)
How you get this bunch-a-books is simple:
Send me a group photo of your writing group to terribleminds at gmail dot com.
One photo per group.
The photo can be of you guys doing anything, though obviously your goal is to amuse and impress me as if I am a bloated, sleepy emperor on a throne made of dead writers clapping his clammy palms together and muttering ENTERTAIN ME TINY PENMONKEYS DANCE TO STAVE OFF MY GRAVE ENNUI. *clap clap snore drool*
You get the idea.
I’ll devalue the books with my signature if you so desire.
This contest is only open to those in the United States, because I can’t really afford to send a giant box of books overseas. (Sorry, folks. MURRICA.)
I’ll close this contest on Friday the 13th of December at noon EST. I’ll pick my favorite that day and announce the following week. If we get enough awesome entries, I may consider a second prize — but I’ll wait until the contest’s end to see if it’s warranted.
Good luck. And please spread word about the contest — and the book!
Questions can be dropped in the comments below.
Muy danke.

Well, damn. I meant to get a photo of our group last week, but totally spaced it.

Disclaimer: Writing Groups work great for other people, I’ve just had really bad luck with a couple in the past.

Whoa, Molly! says:
I’ve got a writers group meeting (The Central Coast (NSW, Australia) Writer’s Group for the WIN!) on Tuesday, so I’m going to try to get a pic then. Incidentally, I’ll be leading the group (being one of the only spec writers, I’m going to lead a class on world building, yay!)

Whoa, Molly! says:
…and then I read it properly and see that I’m not in the running. DAMN YOU, WENDIG!

I’m willing to ship to Australia (or any other NON-MURICAN LAND OF FREEDOM), but, erm, you’d have to pay for the shipping.

Conversation highjack! Did I read that right? If we Aussie types are willing to foot the bill for the crazy ass Murican postage rates should we be crowned the illustrious winners then we can be in the running?

Writers are traveling in groups? Scary thought.

We were trying to find the correct noun for a group of writers… I think the correct term is now “An omnicide of writers”…

What if you are a lone wolf writer?

No Canadians allowed? Booooo! 😉

Well, like I said to the Aussie — if you’re willing to shell out shipping, you can jump in!

I had heard it was “a whinge of writers”…

Awwww, why do I live where I live? Not only is it the wrong country (Britland) but it’s also the wrong TOWN. NO writers’ groups here AT ALL – and every attempt to start one (even when undertaken by the town library) has been met with a deafening silence, apparently.
Ah well, I shall content myself with cheering on the rest of you folks then. Go team(s)!

Sadly, my hyena-like writers’ clan only “cackles” online…

In the interest of being fair, I think you should send us a picture of YOUR writing group first . . .

Hey, Canada isn’t overseas. What about us? I’m in TWO writer’s groups in the middle of frozen Saskatchewan. We need all the encouragement we can get up here!
And I LOVE “whinge of writers!”

Still higher shipping to send to you guys, sadly. Again, happy to send to you but international folks will need to cover shipping.
