We’re calling them guidelines b/c we hate to call them “rules”. Having rules just takes the fun out of having a contest anyway.
These guidelines don’t just apply to our readers. They apply to us as well. We are going to make it easier for you, too. Or so we hope.
There are a few things you will start seeing different on the contest/giveaway announcement posts.
- A date which clearly states when the contest ends.
- The contest winner will be announced three days from the date the contest ends.
- The giveaway winner(s) put onto the sidebar for easy viewing.
We know that we’ve been a little, er, lax about that this summer.
In return, we hope it makes it easier for you to enter contests and respond if you are announced a winner.
That being said, this is the new reader guideline.
- If we don’t hear from the winner(s) within 3 days, we will announce another winner. That winner will have 3 days. And so on, and so forth.
When we giveaway books, our main goal is to get those books to readers that want to read them.
If you have any questions about our new guidelines, fire away.

sounds good 🙂

Now that I’m helping Mad at Novel Thoughts, I see the contest control issue from the other side of the fence.
I like guidelines, frankly–makes it easier on everybody, and more fair to both authors and readers, I think.
Thank you, ladies.
