A message from Anastasia (reprinted with her permission):
Hello! I know it has been a long time since you have heard from us here at Author Meeting Place but we decided that we'd like to make the interactions with the site a bit better. We are now running the book cover contest to have a CASH PRIZE. Yes, I said a CASH PRIZE.
Any author wishing to submit their book cover to the contest will need to send a $1.00 entry fee through PayPal to authoranastasia@aol.com and the total amount of entry fees received will be that month's prize. We estimate that it might be a bit slow at first so we will offer a $10.00 CASH PRIZE until the collections meet the $10.00 and goes higher. Then, of course, the CASH PRIZE will be that total number of entry fees collected.
Â
Note: You must have a page on Author Meeting Place to enter the contest. These pages are FREE. If you sent in your book cover but haven't created a promo page yet, please take a moment to make your promo page. It's free advertising.
Â
If you do not have a PayPal account please use this link from the site to register:Â http://authormeetingplace.com/signupforpaypal.html
There is no sense in accepting money orders or cashier's checks because they cost much more than the $1.00 entry fee. Each month the entries will be deleted unless the $1.00 entry fee is paid again for that next month. This is a running contest for each month. This month will count as the first month of the contest. On January 31st the winner will be notified and will receive the CASH PRIZE via PayPal so it is very important that you use PayPal for this contest. Again, if there were not enough fees collected to make $10.00 then that $10.00 will be the CASH PRIZE until the entry fees to the contest gets more attention.
The way this works is you fill out a submission form for your book cover at this link: http://authormeetingplace.com/contests/bookcovercontest.html and then forward your book cover to submissions@authormeetingplace.com. Then you MUST send your $1.00 entry fee to authoranastasia@aol.com via PayPal. The winning book cover will be decided by the number of votes. The largest number of votes being the winner. So use this link to send to friends and family in order for them to vote on your cover: http://authormeetingplace.com/contests/bookcovercontest.html
We thank you for your continued support of Author Meeting Place and do hope you enjoy your experience with us and what we offer. I don't know where else you could get a free page for advertising yourself. Yes, free, because we love to assist authors in their marketing/advertising endeavors.
Take care and be well.
Thank you for your continued support and participation.
