YA Giveaway Hop

I've spent much of my day entering YA giveaways hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer and Down The Rabbit Hole. There are 226 blogs participating in this YA Giveaway Hop. It's crazy! I'm still learning about all this and I had no idea there were such big giveaways. I wish I had gotten started with this blog earlier so I could participate, but now I know for the future. I'm finding so many good resources and hopefully I can start talking to some of these bloggers I am now following. I feel like today's been productive and I still have 2 more days to keep entering before the giveaways close!

Provex City should be done with it's final proofread in a week or two and then I'm ready to get it formatted for Kindle and Smashwords. I'm so anxious to be so close to getting Provex City up for anyone to read. I also saw going through all these blogs today how many indie- and self-published authors there are out in the marketplace. It's intimidating. But it's more of an inspiration than a deterrent. I'm doing the right thing. I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I feel it!

Thank you to all the blogs participating in the YA Giveaway Hop! And thank you to anyone who adds me on here, Twitter, or Facebook to reciprocate my adds! Thank you so so so much!

  2. You're the first guy I've seen enter the hop contests in a while, but I saw you on someone else's blog. I hope you visit mine! I've been trying to get male beta-readers/critique partners for my upper middle grade series, Erth Won. The first is done, except for whatever changes I make based on final reader comments. You can find me at http://sherahart.blogspot.com, and you might want to read my book page to get an idea of my imagination, before I remove some of the info overload. I have excellent grammar and punctuation skills, and I've cleaned up other indie author books after publishing that should have been done before. Let me know if you're interested.

    1. Thanks for the support, Sher! i noticed as I was wading through quite a few blogs that I was one of very, very few guys leaving comments. I wasn't sure if it was weird, but I just kept on going. I'd definitely be interested in being a beta-reader or critique partner. I returned the favor and now follow your blog. Your book, Erth Won, sounds interesting and right up my alley. I'm glad you left me a comment and look forward to talking with you more.
