30 Lessons Learned, #30: Keep it simple (It's Giveaway Time!)
I am very excited to announce that I'll be giving away signed copies of Buglette, The Messy Sleeper. I promise to keep it simple, in the wake of reading this blog post (check it out for a good chuckle).
Just leave a comment on THIS blog entry on or before May 21st. That's it! You don't need to jump through any blogging, Facebook or Twitter hoops. Winners will be announced here on Wednesday the 25th. I will be giving away one signed copy of Buglette for every 10 comments I receive, up to 50 comments. If I receive over 50 comments, I'll add a framed original illustration to the giveaway as well. Winners will be chosen from a random drawing. I can ship only to the US. My apologies to friends abroad.
So, go ahead and comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "I want a book". Please spread the word!
Thanks to those of you who have stuck with me from the beginning as well as all newcomers. Don't forget to check back here Wednesday, May 25th for a list of winners AND another fun giveaway.

Yeah Bethanie!
I'm a bit sad that you are at the last "Lesson Learned." Maybe you can be open to the idea of 30 Lessons Learned again down the road dealing with post-publication.
I look forward to seeing a photo of little kids sitting on their leaf cushions at one of your readings. And I especially look forward to reading your book!!
Iam so looking forward to seeing the finished product! And good luck with it!
Even though I know I cannot enter I just had to write a comment Bethanie...I have done on all the other 30!! I just wanted to say that I am SO happy for you that Buglette is finally coming to life. How exciting is that- seeing your own book in print! You are a most talented, lovely lady and it has been a delight meeting you through blog land. I look forward to following all that comes in the future too. Congratulations and I hope your book reaches number one in the book charts! Keep writing and perhaps day it will also be released this side of the pond? Have fun and enjoy all the celebrations.
Love Jane x
I, too, have enjoyed following your journey and am so happy for your success!

I mean...just the title "Buglette, the Messy Sleepy" sounds so exactly like my house that I feel like we NEED a book. :-) Congratulations!
Hey, this is your fan from ePingo.com! :D You already know I want a signed book outta you ;) but I figured why not try to get 50 comments and add a framed illustration to the mix! (Although I assume I can only post a comment once). I'll spread the word out!Keep being awesome!

I'm so happy to see everyone's comments! Thank you! Katie, something strange happened with a few of the comments. I noticed that 2 or 3 disappeared. I'm not sure where they went, but I'm glad you checked back. :)
