Contest results and winners!

It’s all over! I’m going to list the contest results and winners here. Incidentally, these were the most popular items, and how many people entered to win:

  • Book lamps (1363)
  • Book pillows (1358)
  • Antique typewriter (1623)
  • Tea pot (1476)

So if you’re looking for good gifts for writers, those are safe bets. I added in some links below in case you want to buy your own (except for the typewriter, you can find those on ebay or craigslist).

If you didn’t win anything, some friends of mine just put together a big package of publishing related books and courses (two of my books are in there). It’s all free, click here to see it.

Since this is a digital product and it’s easy for me to give away, I drew some “backup” winners for most prizes and added them here – so if you won this and didn’t enter, that’s how it happened. I thought it was better to win something than to be a runnerup with no prize…

The Castle Giveaway

The winner of the castle giveaway was Kristina Horner. This was her 10th year doing Nanowrimo. I’m excited to rent a castle next November and do some fun and awesome things while we write our 50K.

I’d like to thank everybody who shared the castle contest but didn’t win; I wish you could all come.

I’ll be emailing all the runnerups to give them my book marketing course for free.

 

Happy holidays!
Derek

 

PS) As I mentioned, there’s a big package of free books and courses for you here. If you’re writing a book, and worried about publishing and marketing, those guides will dramatically shorten the learning curve.
