I had so much fun with the Patricia Volonakis Davis giveaway of “Harlot’s Sauce: A Memoir of Food, Family, Love, Loss, and Greece” that I decided to do a contest of my own and offer up several copies of my co-authored book: Write It Right: The Ground Rules for Self Editing Like the Pros! It gives you a beautifully simple way to self-edit your own writing. Check out the reviews on Amazon. There are no strings on this giveaway, though I would be ecstatic if the “winners” (after reading it, of course!) post a review to their own blog, Amazon, social networking site, or any other appropriate book review site of their choosing. I’d like to get people talking about this book again! Here are the contest details:

1. Entries are taken until 3 PM (Eastern, U.S.), Friday, October 9, 2009
2. To enter, just give me a comment on this post and include your email address (spell it out if you want) or provide another way for me to contact you.
3. One of my sons will randomly pick the appropriate number of entrants’ names from a hat (or cup, or giant trash bag!).
4. Open to interested contestants worldwide!
5. BONUS! If you want an additional chance(s) to win, please place a link to this post on your own blog, Twitter about it, talk about it on FaceBook – talk about it somewhere else anyway – pointing out the contest . Make sure to place another comment below with a link.
6. Odds in winning: I will offer one book for every seven applicants who enter! Your odds of winning will never be less than 1 in 7. So if there are 49 entries, I will draw 7 names. If there are 51 entries, I will draw 8 names.

Go ahead and spread the word: Good Luck!!
