Attention all #bloggers: @AuthorGVD is gearing up for a large giveaway and blog tour.

Attention All Bloggers


Regulars to this blog will probably guess that we've upped the giveaway ante, and this post is no different. Gaelen VanDenbergh, author of Running Against Traffic, would like to do a massive giveaway.

Well, maybe not massive ... but probably the biggest giveaway we've done on this site.

A Kindle Paperwhite will be up for grabs. Would you call that massive?



Perhaps we can agree that this type of giveaway is large.

There is one small hitch


This won't necessarily be the free-for-all type of blog tour that I normally organize. Because such a large prize is up for grabs, Ms. VanDenbergh will be picking which blogs will participate. She'll make her decision based upon two factors: traffic and subject.

We're looking for blogs that have decent traffic, but I think the major concern is subject. She wants the blogs to be specific to contemporary fiction, women's lit, chick lit (not primary), romance, or general fiction.

An extra incentive for bloggers


There will be a scavenger hunt with this tour, encouraging all to visit every stop on the tour, which means traffic for all the bloggers. It won't require any extra work on the part of the bloggers. All they have to do is post their portion of the tour, and the author and I will take care of the rest.

Another incentive for bloggers


One of the blogs that is chosen to participate in this blog tour will randomly be picked to win an Amazon gift card (amount to be determined). This second giveaway will not be open to the public. It'll be just for the bloggers, which is an incentive to sign up today just to be considered for the tour, which you can do below.

The exact dates of the tour have not been picked, but there'll be lots of time to make space on your blog if you are chosen. The giveaway tour will last at least a month, though two or three months is not out of the question.
