My next novel, Jeremy Bender vs the Cupcake Cadets, doesn't hit shelves until May 2011. That seems like eons away. So imagine my surprise when I received a big box from my publisher that held a big pile of advance reading galleys! I also received news of the awesome blurbs my book will be wearing:
“Hats (and tams) off to Jeremy Bender for a belly-laugh not even the densest cupcakes could hold down!”
— Gordon Korman, bestselling author of The 39 Clues: One False Note and Pop
“This book has it all: a laugh on each page, outrageous plot, snappy dialogue, mega-wedgies, and of course, cupcakes. Perfect for boys and girls." — Julia DeVillers, author of How My Private, Personal Journal Became a Bestseller (now the Disney Channel Original Movie Read It and Weep)
Julia DeVillers AND Gordon Korman?? I truly consider myself blessed.
So, here comes the hard part... what do I do with all of these ARCs taking up valuable real estate on my desk? I'll tell you what I'm going to do with them, I'm going to give them away! I love contests! There are several ways you can win.
How to Win:
1) Sign up for my occasional email newsletter (see below). This is the best way to enter since you'll receive the added bonus of an occasional email newsletter. Also, I'll be giving away a bunch of ARCs for people who register. By far, it'll be your best chance of winning as people can only enter once!
2) Tweet about the ARC contest using a link to this blog entry and an @ericluper so I can keep track. Something like, "Hey, go check out @ericluper 's big ARC givaway for his next novel at http://eluper.livejournal.com" You can enter this way once per day through the weekend into Monday.
3) Facebook the same thing and let me know you did that somehow!! I'll be watching. You can enter this way once per day into Monday as well.
Winners will be selected on Monday, 11/1 at 1:11 pm... just because I like the number one. I'm planning on unloading a bunch of these ARCs to the world so get entering! Good luck! Oh, and get ready for the big cover reveal too!
