Pump Up Your Book’s May 2011 Authors on Tour Facebook Party!

balloons WE’RE HAVING A FACEBOOK PARTY!!!!

Strike up the band and join the chorus…Pump Up Your Book will be hosting the May 2011 Authors on Tour on Friday May 27, 2011 at 9 – 11 p.m. (eastern time – adjust to your time zone). Tell your book friends that not only will this give them an opportunity to chat with their favorite authors there will be a huge giveaway at the end of the chat!

Here’s how it will work:

The party will kick off at our Facebook Party Page with a 2 hour chat in which all authors will get a certain time slot to answer questions. All time slots will be listed on the party page so that you’ll know who is going to be up next. After the party, everyone is invited back here to find out who has won our fabulous prizes with directions on how to claim them. Easy peasy!

What you must do before the chat if you’re going to attend:

1. In order to participate in the chat, you must “like” our Facebook Fan Page at www.facebook.com/pumpupyourbook.

2. Sign up before the chat so we have time to approve you which will be the second step.

3. Once you’re approved, head on over to the Facebook Party page at http://www.facebook.com/note.php?saved&&note_id=10150098281972393&id=334584971236 and leave a comment so we know you made it in.

Note: If you wait to sign up too late, you might not get in because once the party starts, it will be nearly impossible to get back into email to see if anyone needs getting in, so do this early please.

What to do when the chat ends:

Once the chat is over, head back over here to find out if you have won a prize. All prizes and winners will be announced in the body of this blog post. If you are a winner, you have 72 hours to contact us at thewriterslife (at) gmail.com to claim your prize. If we do not hear from you during that time, we will find another winner.
