Last month, me and my fantabulous crit partner Jus Accardo held an epic contest in which the winner would receive ebook copies of all of our books, mega swag packs, and will get to create a character to be used in the super secret project Jus and I are writing together. We’re a few days late, but Random.org has finally chosen our winner.
 

Congratulations to Sandra of JeanzBookReadNReview!

 
We will be contacting you with instructions on how to claim your prize. Thank you to everyone who participated and be on the lookout for another major contest from me coming this next week when FLAWED goes on tour!

An announcement…and an epic joint contest!

Posted on by

2012 has been crazy good to me. FLAWED, a book that’s very close to my heart, has been released into the world—and people seem to really like it! While I’m gobsmacked by the reactions I’ve gotten, I’m most grateful for the readers I’ve met. That you guys believe the stuff I bleed onto the page matters means a lot to me. And because I’m me, all these fluffy feelings can only mean one thing: I’m giving stuff away!

But first, an announcement that’s pretty freaking awesome.

Awhile back, I called Jus Accardo with the lyrics to a song I’d just heard and the seed of what I hoped would become a story we’d write together. We took that little seed and developed it until we had something that combined my darkness and her creativity into a story that’s deceptively light (we are talking about me, here), thought-provoking, and extremely original. Exactly what you’d expect when an author who writes quirky paranormal romance teams up with someone who writes dark and twisty contemporary.

I never stopped thinking about the story. Neither did Jus. So last week we made a decision: We’re going to write the book, and it will be epic.

The catch? We want you guys to be part of it.

Jus and I are holding a contest/casting call with more than a dozen ways to enter. In addition to receiving ebook copies of all our books (Flawed, Touch, Untouched, and Toxic) and a full complement of swag from the two of us, the winner will get to create a character for the book. Name, appearance, character tics…everything. You can even be the character if you want. Our only caveat is that you not ask us to write a pink polka-dotted elephant (or the equivalent) into the story. Think contemporary YA and the kind of characters that come with the genre.

We can’t tell you guys anything about the story just yet, but we can share the song that started it all.

Intrigued? Enter the contest below for your chance to create a character in the book!

Many of us have seen the Young Adult “readers choice” award contests going around the blogsphere. They’re fun, and they’re interesting…but, sadly, contemporary stories often get buried beneath the other genres.

Categories include:

  • Favorite boy
  • Favorite girl
  • Favorite couple
  • Story that made you laugh loudest
  • Story that made you cry hardest
  • Most original and unique contemporary plot
  • Favorite boy point-of-view book
  • Favorite dark contemporary
  • Favorite LGBT
  • Favorite author
  • Favorite 2012 release

How it’s going to work:

Today: Enter your nominations for the Contemporary Awards–up to 5 in each category–as soon as possible!

Thursday, Sept 6th: Drop in for our first giveaway, which includes not one, not two, but several of Stephanie Campbell’s books–IN PRINT! *Note: you MUST have submitted nominations for the  Contemporary Awards to be eligible for the giveaway.

Saturday, Sept 8th: Nominations close at MIDNIGHT. This gives us Sunday to tally all the nominations.

Monday, Sept 10th: The top THREE in each category for the Awards. Voting will open!

Thursday, Sept 13th: Winners for Steph Campbell’s books will be announced! And a new contest will open for an e-book copy of Hushed by Kelley York, and YOUR CHOICE of one of Nyrae Dawn’s e-books! (What a Boy Wants, What a Boy Needs, Freeing Carter, or Measuring Up)

Monday, Sept 17th: Winners for the Awards will be announced, as well as winners for the e-books by Nyrae and Kelley.

So what are you waiting for? Go forth and nominate all your contemporary YA favorites!
