If you enter a competition and win, we will stuff your package with flyers, bookmarks, handmade bookmarks, crocheted bookworms, postcards, business cards and other small promotional items our authors send in.*  We call this the Alternative-Reader's Pack. 

Authors interested in sending us goodies for the Alternative-Reader's Pack, please email: Sassy.Brit [at] googlemail [dot] com Head  your message AR BOOKSHELF. 

N.B. The picture above is an example of what I have currently. This of course is subject to change as goodies come and go!  Crocheted bookworms courtesy of Lucille P Robinson!

* We apologise but we cannot send out the extra promotional goodies if the prize is an ebook, or something sent directly from the author - as I am sure you will understand. 

Fancy a prize? We are keeping this simple - despite there being FIVE ways to enter - some more than once a month! 

1. Comment on the blog for one chance to win. Comment lots of times, and have even more chances to win. (No limit to the amount of times you can enter this way!) 

2. Leave a message in our 'Guest Book' for another chance. (ONLY one a month here though, please.)

3. Link back to us at either or both the AR blog or the main website (here) and send us your website address as proof! (Only once a month please.)

4. Comment on our FaceBook or MySpace pages during the month you want to win. 

5. Comment in our Alternative-Read Yahoo group during the month you want to win.  

ALL WINNING NAMES will be posted on our site. To claim please email Sassy.Brit [at] googlemail [dot] com with your Blogger or and Yahoo nickname  --  and address, if this is required. So, if you are lucky enough to win, we can match you with your prize quickly (along with the Alternative-Reader's Pack if applicable). Winners head your email AR MONTHLY GIVEAWAY!

What is a month? From the 1st to the end of the month.

We run impromptu giveaways for our AR YAHOO GROUP subscribers and blog readers all year, and will be starting up our Alternative-Read Monthly GIveaways again.  This means in order to have a supply handy for our AR Bookshelf we need the support from any author willing to donate a book or two. 

Of course, if we are sending out books to our winners we do love to stuff the packages with extra promotional goodies. More more info, see above: The AR Readers Pack!

Authors who would like to donate a book for this feature, please email Sassy.Brit [at] googlemail [dot] com  - Head your message AR BOOKSHELF. You and your prize will be heavily mentioned as our way of saying thanks. If we get a big enough response we would like to offer more than one book or electronic book to our readers.
