Not going to Illinois in April because you can't get time off? Live too far away? Not in the budget? Don't like live crowds? We hear you and we're not going either. So we're throwing our second Staying Home Party. We're giving away a Barnes & Noble gift card to one lucky reader and we're giving away a lot of other prizes from the TRS prize vault and participating authors too! More details on the prizes to come...
***IMPORTANT -- PLEASE READ*** If you're interested in participating in our party, please read everything here carefully and if you have questions or something doesn't make sense, please email us before you sign up. We can't make changes to the party once it has started and we can't go back in time after the party is over. So if there is something you don't understand and have concerns about, email us before you sign up and the party starts. Thank you!
Where is it going to be held?
The event will be held exclusively at our PARTY SITE. Registration isn't required if you're a reader who wants to comment or enter any of the giveaways.
When is it going to be held?
From April 13 - 15th, 2012. Times? All day!
When will the prizes be given out?
The winner of the Barnes & Noble gift card will be selected at random on April 16th. Other prizes from TRS and its participating authors will be assigned at each donor's earliest convenience following the end of the event.
Okay so HOW do I enter for the gift card?
Our authors will be posting during the event period at our PARTY SITE about their latest books and other related items. Comment on any of the posts at any time during the event (should be at least acceptable/polite comments because comments in poor taste may result in exclusion from the event) AND complete the entry form at the party site for the gift card giveaway and you will be entered into the drawing for the gift card.
How do I enter for the other prizes?
For other prizes donated by TRS, some of its featured authors and other participating authors, there will be easy to use giveaway forms at the PARTY SITE. Other authors will be awarding prizes to those who comment on their posts. There may be other contests/chance to win prizes as outlined by the individual author or participant.
Is this only open to TRS featured member authors?
No, the event is open to all authors be they members of TRS or not.
Authors in this event will be posting about their books and other related topics (can include blurbs, covers, videos, excerpts, recipes, invitations to events, and more). All are welcome! Authors can post as many times as they like during the event, get noticed, and participate in the giveaways. Authors can post 24 hours a day and that allows for authors wherever they are in the world to participate. Authors can promote as many of their titles as they like.
To participate, authors must agree to donate a prize for the event's giveaways. It can be a book (ebook/download, disk, or print), a gift card, or any other gift appropriate and desirable for our audience of romance readers. There is no minimum or maximum dollar value required. The participating author also agrees to send that prize to a winner of their choosing via email or snail mail.
Participating authors may also do other drawings and giveaways in conjunction with the events but this isn't required.
What can participating authors promote during the event?
Any romance genre, any heat level.
What happens if I can't post to the party site (computer trouble)?
Our staff will work with any author wishing to participate in the event to help with questions and troubleshooting. If you're new to our parties, please try a test post(s) before the party if possible. Troubleshooting is a lot less stressful all around if done when the event is not in progress.
What else? Like eligibility?
1) It must be legal to participate where you are.
2) You must be at least 18 years old to participate. Content on the party site may be mature in nature.
3) You understand that there will be one winner, chosen randomly from all acceptable comments during the event period and posted at the party site and who also signed up on the entry form, selected for the gift card.
4) Non-reviewing staff members from TRS are not eligible to participate.
5) By entering, you agree that TRS is not responsible for items lost in the mail.
6) By entering, you understand that there will be romance books and/or ebooks making up or included in the prizes. These will be of varying genre and heat level and by entering, you agree that TRS and its members and affiliates are not responsible for material the individual prefers and/or finds suitable or doesn't.
7) No substitution of any prize, for cash or other products, allowed.
