Jeanne Eck, an Author’s Roost Beta Member (one of the first ones!), needs a little help. Reproduced here is the email she sent us today. If you have just a few minutes, follow her lead and perhaps give her a boost toward staying “in the running” for the award she references:
Help!
I have entered a worldwide contest for a publishing contract with Hampton Roads, one of the top publishers in the field.
This is a fabulous opportunity for doors to be opened for my work that few writers ever have the opportunity to access.
For the past year, I’ve been working on a novel called “Silver Strands.” I decided to submit it to the contest because it is so unique and timely. Of course, winning the competition will also help “I Am Happier to Know You” which, thanks to my distributor is selling so well I will have to do a second printing!
Because today’s authors must show upfront that they can market their books, a major component of the first stage of the contest is to demonstrate my willingness and ability to do so in the first phase of the competition by attaining a flood of votes from everyone I know. Stages 2-4 will center more around my writing ability.
This is where I need your help. There are 2500 entries, but only 250 authors will be chosen to go forward to round two. I can do the writing, but I can’t do the voting. If you would please go to http://www.nexttopspiritualauthor.com/index.cfm
You can listen to my audio about “Silver Strands,” read a small blurb and sign up and vote for “Silver Strands. Your vote will get me into the next stage of the contest. Clear instructions are there. My contest account # is 542. You can only vote for “Silver Strands” once.
Please pass this information on to everyone you know who will be willing to help.
Love and blessings, Jeanne
