Announcing The Inaugural Semi-Shameless Subscriber Drive

WHY DO THIS?

We’re proud of the stuff we write here every weekday, and we’d like to share it with more people.

Since it seems to work so well for PBS, we’re going to hold the inaugural subscriber drive beginning this Thursday the 13th through next Friday the 21st.

But instead of tote bags and Yanni coffee tumblers, we’ve got better stuff.

WHO CAN WIN? – OUR EMAIL SUBSCRIBERS WILLING TO SHARE OUR AWESOMENESS

Starting Thursday, click on any share button in our daily email. They’re at the top and bottom of each one. Share our stuff with love. Suggest people sign up.

PEOPLE WHO SHARE CAN WIN OUR FAVORITE THINGS!

Once you share one of our posts between this Thursday and next Thursday, you’ll be entered to win one of three boxes full of our favorite things that include:

1. Lynn’s sharpies… Lynn loooooves sharpies…
2. Ryan’s coffee… Ryan loooooves coffee…
3. My six favorite books about writing
   1. Everybody Writes by Ann Handley
   2. Bird By Bird by Anne Lamott
   3. Writing Down The Bones by Natalie Goldberg
   4. The Wizard Of Ads by Roy H. Williams
   5. The War Of Art by Steven Pressfield
   6. On Writing by Stephen King

WHEN?

We’ll draw at random for a winner on Tuesday the 18th, Wednesday the 19th, and Thursday the 20th (announcing winners the following days).

For each time you share from our daily email, you get one entry. So, you can get up to four entries a day if you share our email on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+.

PEOPLE WHO SIGN UP GET TREATS, TOO!

Sign up to receive our emails between now and next Friday, and we’ll give you digital copies of all three of my books.

RECAP

Starting Thursday, current subscribers (if you’re not a current subscriber, click here to sign up, and you can play, too), can socially share our posts through our emails (you must share it through our email to win stuff ‘cause it’s the way we can fairly measure) to up to four different social media channels.

Beginning Tuesday, November 18th, we’ll pick one sharer each day for three days to win a nifty prize pack filled with our favorite things.

Anyone who signs up for our emails between now and Friday the 21st also gets free stuff… you will get links to download digital copies of all three of my books – including my bestseller Good Company.

Sign up! Share! Win!

See? We consider it only semi-shameless…
