Q & A with the organiser – Sarah Dalton
How can readers enter the YA Spring Fling giveaway?
Head over
to my website Sarahdaltonbooks.com and find the page for the YA Spring Fling
(handy hint, it’s HERE). Once
you’re there you can browse through the books on offer, or check out more
information about the participating
authors.
You
should see plenty of links prompting you to enter the giveaway. Simply fill out
the Google document telling us which books you’d like to win, the format you
prefer, and whether you would also like to win paperbacks and swag. It’s that
simple. Pick the books you want and sign off.
How will I know I’ve won?
There are
so many books on offer that I’d be surprised if you didn’t win something! So
you will be hearing from us. J
After
April 3rd, I will collate all the entries and pass them on to the
participating authors. They will then choose the winners at random and Email
the winners to let them know the good news.
Will my Email or personal details be used outside the
giveaway?
Absolutely
not. We’re all against spam and promise not to use your Email for anything
other than contacting you as a winner. If you joined up to the YA Spring Fling
mailing list you will receive one Email telling you the giveaway is open, and
another warning you it is about to close. That’s it!
Is the giveaway open internationally?
Yes! But
there are some paperbacks on offer that are region specific. Not all of our
authors are sending paperbacks and swag internationally, purely because it
costs us so much money and we ain’t made of it. ;)
We will
ask for your country of residence in the Google document. That’s so we can work
out the winners for region specific paperbacks more easily. Everything else is
open internationally.
I have a question, who can I contact?
Me! Send
me a message on Facebook.
My Email might be clogged by answering author queries, so Facebook might be the
easiest method.
Who can I tell about the giveaway? And what can I do
to help spread the word?
You can
tell everyone and anyone who might like YA books. If you’d like to spread the
word it would be awesome if you could follow or like some of the authors and
share their posts about the giveaway. You can find a full list of the
participating authors and their social media links here.
GOOD LUCK
EVERYONE! MAY YOU WIN MANY BOOKS!
