The Kick-Ass Writer<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is now karate-chopping its way around the world in bookstores all over this great multidimensional omniverse.<\/p>\n

I have a handful of physical copies of this book and I’d like to give them away.<\/p>\n

I want to give a bunch of them away, in fact.<\/p>\n

I want to give a bunch of them away\u00a0all at one time<\/em>.<\/p>\n

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.)<\/p>\n

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.)<\/p>\n

How you get this bunch-a-books is simple:<\/p>\n

Send me a group photo of your writing group to terribleminds at gmail dot com.<\/p>\n

One photo per group.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0ENTERTAIN ME TINY PENMONKEYS DANCE TO STAVE OFF MY GRAVE ENNUI. *clap clap snore drool*<\/p>\n

You get the idea.<\/p>\n

I’ll devalue the books with my signature if you so desire.<\/p>\n

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.)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Good luck. And please spread word about the contest — and the book!<\/p>\n

Questions can be dropped in the comments below.<\/p>\n

Muy danke.<\/p>\n
