You could

Attention authors, poets, editors, book bloggers, et al.

On June 1, someone will win autographed copies of both volumes of The Writer’s Lexicon.

Here’s how to enter.

Prepare a book blurb or bio, maximum of 100 words, with up to 2 links.

[CONTEST CLOSED]

If you don’t have a bio, why not? Even if you think of yourself as an “aspiring author,” consider this an opportunity to write one.

Comments will be closed on June 1. At that time a name will be picked at random, and I’ll contact the winner.

Only one entry per person.

Sample bio:

Kathy Steinemann is an award-winning author who has loved words for as long as she can remember, especially when the words are frightening or futuristic or funny.

Her popular books in The Writer’s Lexicon series are touted by writers as “phenomenal,” a “secret weapon,” and “better than a thesaurus.”

Kathy’s career has taken varying directions, including positions as editor of a small-town paper, computer-network administrator, and webmaster. She has also worked on projects in commercial art and cartooning. You’ll find her at KathySteinemann.com, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Guess what. I combined a bio with a book blurb, all in fewer than 100 words.

That’s it, folks.

Free publicity, the opportunity to meet others in the writing community, and a chance to win two books.

  5. Love your lists and the Lexicon! Fingers crossed!!

    C.M. Estopare, also known as Christine Michele, can usually be found at her writing desk (aka, kitchen table) pounding away at her keyboard with her uber mutt, Duke, snoring loudly as her keystrokes put him to sleep. Christine has always had her nose in a fantasy book and when she stumbled upon wuxia fiction, her husband almost lost her in her Kindle for three days straight. Unable to shut up about her unending book ideas (her husband can vouch for this), Christine began writing in 2015 and hasn’t stopped since.
