enamouredI have received awesome in one of my inboxes!
OH, NEAT. I am totally going to do that. Part of me is like, "OOH, you could sell it too!" and the other part is being deeply, deeply logical and going, "Look, make your own personal copy so that you can potentially cross 'have a book published' off your life dreams list, but you know that last year's novel is nowhere near good enough for anyone else to see."
Anyway: I don't know what I'm doing on Halloween, but if something comes up, I have the perfect idea for a costume: Carmen Sandiego (only the non-vampy Carmen). I just need to find a place to get a red hat, and I've seen a reddish trench coat at Target, so it's very, very doable.
I hate missing Supernatural.
Dear NaNoWriMo 2007 Winner,
Last November, you and those typing fingers of yours did something amazing. And while you were busy bashing out your novel, we were frantically trying to line up a prize worthy of your feat.
Our goal was to find a self publishing company who would give every NaNo winner a free copy of his or her winning manuscript in paperback book form. It's taken us until now, but we've finally found them.
CreateSpace, an Amazon.com Inc. owned company, is generously offering every NaNoWriMo 2007 winner a "free proof copy" of their 2007 manuscript. What this means: A free proof copy of your manuscript in paperback book form–just by following the instructions below. They'll even cover the costs of basic shipping to you.
To redeem the offer, you'll need a special NaNoWriMo winner's promo code.
[...]
It's good for six months from today. Here's how you go about using it:
After you receive your proof copy, you can then choose if you want to make it available to the public at large—everything from showing up for sale on Amazon.com to complete invisibility.
We asked CreateSpace to write up an introduction to who they are and what they do, and I'm pasting that below. You can also read a bunch of their helpful FAQs about copyright, ISBNs, and other important matters at http://www.createspace.com/Help/Book/FAQ.jsp
And if you have any further questions, you can contact them directly: http://www.createspace.com/Special/SalesInquiry.jsp
Thanks so much to CreateSpace for making our dream-prize come true! And congrats again on your NaNoWriMo victory. We look forward to another year of literary abandon together this November.
Warm regards,
Chris Baty
Director, NaNoWriMo
