Fiction Frolic for All Hallow’s Read

For October, I’m participating in a HUGE giveaway to raise 1,000 books for charity. Read about the event here, and take a look at my posts, as well as my fellow authors’ posts, below.

A Fiction Frolic for All Hallow’s Read!

For the first 3 weeks of October, we are doing a promotional event to support the new holiday tradition Neil Gaiman created a few years ago to promote giving a book or scary story away for Halloween. You can read more about All Hallow’s Read here.

Our Authors are donating copies of their own books to All Hallow’s Read, as well as offering up signed paperbacks as prizes, $200 in Amazon GCs, and 2 swag bags for those participating. There will also be a chance for the winner to gift a book to a friend.

We will be donating books to Books for America, an awesome charity who is officially sponsoring our event and excited to be involved with All Hallow’s Read. We have a goal to raise 1,000 books in October for them! In 2011, Books for America donated more than $800,000 worth of books and materials to DC area schools, shelters and dozens of other educational programs and organizations.

During the event, each of our participating authors will be blogging daily about various topics.Join our authors October 1st to 5th to read about which books ignited their love of reading and writing, what opportunities books have offered the author they might not otherwise have had, or how reading in school affected their education.
