third time's a charm

  • Sep. 19th, 2008 at 9:45 AM

Okay, I get it, I hear you, my contest sucked. Am I a little embarrassed? Yes. Will that stop me from taking action? Not a chance. So as of now, I'm canceling the old SKINNED contest and creating a new one.

(If you're one of the few brave souls who already entered, don't worry, you're officially entered in the new one, too.)

NEW (SIMPLE) SKINNED CONTEST
(same cool prizes)

Enter:
Write me a newspaper headline from the year 2060. (Eg: “This Year’s Top Vacation Spot: Venus” or “Apple Announces Record Sales for iJetPack” or “Lichtenstein Declares War on Republic of Disneyworld!” – you get the idea.)

Email me your headline -- robin (at) robinwasserman (dot) com.


Deadline:
October 10


Win:
One Grand Prize - iPod shuffle
Two Runners-Up - a skin for your phone or iPod

If you win, and you don’t want the prize, you can request a Barnes and Noble or Amazon gift certificate instead.


Miscellaneous:
*Winners announced on October 13.

*It’s a random drawing. So don’t stress about your headline.

*If you don’t want your email address entered onto my mailing list (to receive updates on Skinned, future contests, etc), let me know in your entry.

Good luck!

Tell me about it! I think I could use that cure right now, because it seems my book isn't going to write itself. (Though that would be convenient.)

Skinned
It seems you read these comments, so I wanted to personally thank you for Skinned.
Rarely have I felt a book was so well-executed, funny, and interesting. I loved your 7 Deadly Sins series, but I am really looking forward to the rest of the trilogy.

I'm the author of several novels for teens, including HACKING HARVARD, the CHASING YESTERDAY trilogy, and the SEVEN DEADLY SINS series.

My newest book, SKINNED, comes out in September 2008.

Also, I like cupcakes.
