Show Your Love

Ah February—the month of love. Why is it the month of love? Because if it wasn't the month of love, it would be the month of hate. We hate the snow, we hate the lingering holiday bills, and we hate the groundhog for seeing his shadow. So it's a good thing we have Valentine's day, reminding us that all you need is love.

Speaking of Love, the LDStorymakers is once again holding the Show Your Love contest throughout the month of February. The rules are simple, and the prizes are . . . well, let's just say you'll love them.
They are as follows:

On Friday, three lucky winners will receive a reserved seat at the 8th Annual LDStorymakers Writers Conference for Friday night dinner. Also seated at the table will be:

Literary Agent Sarah Crowe

Author Larry Brooks

Senior Editor Marcia Markland

Author James Dashner
 Becca Stumpf


And one lucky grand prize winner will receive a 
30 page manuscript review by Sara Megibow.

So how do you win these fabulous prizes? Like so:
  • Blog about the LDStorymakers Writers Conference and link to the conference site. This is worth 5 entries.
  • Blog about the Show Your Love contest and link back to this post. This is also worth 5 entries.
  • Become a fan of the LDStorymakers Conference Facebook page and invite 5 friends to become fans. This is worth 1 Entry (limit 5 entries).
  • Mention the conference and/or the contest on Twitter. Either post the link in your tweet, or use the hashtag #storymakers. This is worth 1 entry per day, up to 5 per week.
  • Post a conference attendee badge on your blog or website. This is worth 3 entries. The badge code is as follows:

    <a href="http://ldstorymakers.com/conference_2011.php"><img src="http://ldstorymakers.com/attendeebadge.jpg" alt="LDStorymakers" /></a>
Help spread the word. Tell us in the comments what you've done, and tally your points. We're using the honor system, which means you tell us, and then we double check to make sure you're being honorable.

You can earn points all through the month of February. The contest closes on February 28th, 2011. We'll announce the winner at the beginning of March. You must be a registered attendee of the 2011 LDStorymakers Writers Conference to win. Both Attendees are presenters are eligible. If you're not registered, what are you waiting for? You can do so here.

    I also fwd the email sent about the contest and conference to 17 friends/family.

    I'm a registered attendee, a follower on the FB page and this blog. Whew! I don't think all those things get points, but I added 30 for those that do.

  28. I passed along the pass along email to 6 of my very best pass along writer buddies.

    That's 6 entries, if I'm not mistaken. Pass it along.

    ReplyDelete

  29. I passed along the pass along to one more of my writer pals, and I asked him to pass along the pass along to his best writer pals, so you can either add 1 entry to my total, or add all of his entries and his pal's entries to my total, which would incrementally add to my total. Your choice. :)

  30. Blogged about the contest. Blogged about LDS storymakers (wryteriam.blogspot.com) and became a fan on facebook.

    ReplyDelete

  31. Forgot to mention I also posted a badge. So i guess that's 14 entries.

    ReplyDelete

  32. Passed along the email to 5 people. I'll stop commenting now. 19

    ReplyDelete

  33. Ok,
    --I passed along the email to 20 writing clients (not conference regulars),
    --invited 10 writing/editing types on facebook to join after I became a fan
    --posted the link on my website (bookeditingandmore.com)
    --posted the conference presenter badge on the site as well

    My husband has posted on twitter and whatnot. We're both spreading the love on behalf of his chance to win a seat/review. So here's hoping for Bruce Eschler. Yay Storymakers!

  44. Hi people! I may be a little behind the times, but I'm jumping into this pool. So, blogged (with links to both the website and blog) here:
    http://nicholegiles.blogspot.com/2011/02/worlds-most-rockin-writers-conference.html

    Already a fan of your FB page, and I can't remember how many people I shared it with, but I posted it on my wall again--cuz it wouldn't let me resuggest to my friends(no idea why). Still, I did it a long time ago, so. Yeah. Count it or not, whatever. =)

    Tweeted today, will also tweet tomorrow, and I have a badge on my blog. What is that? 13, and if you count the tweets (2) and FB (1) 16. Right? Okay. Good luck with spreading the word!
