Blog Hop Coming Soon!

There are two things we really love at ANWA.  The first is free stuff, because hey, who doesn't love free stuff?  The second is bringing more attention to our fabulous ANWA sisters.   So we have decided to combine these two favorite things by co-hosting an LDS Author blog hop with I'm A Reader Not A Writer!

QUESTIONS YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF, OR US (WHICH IS CONVENIENT, BECAUSE WE HAPPEN TO KNOW THE ANSWERS):

• What is a blog hop?  Basically, it's where we join with a bunch of other blogs and give away great books.  
• What's it in for you, besides the warm feeling of giving something awesome to someone else?  It's a great way to get more eyes on your books and blogs. 
• What if you haven't published yet?  You don't have to be a published author to participate. If you have a blog, and you'd like people to see that blog, then you can join the fun.  Give away a gift card, a friend's book, or even simply a book you really like.  The only restriction is that it must be written by an LDS author.  
• How can I learn more? For more information or to sign up to participate, please go to: http://www.iamareader.com/2013/09/2nd-annual-lds-authors-giveaway-hop-sign-ups.html  

The contest will be held October 8-15, but all participating blogs must register before then. The list of participating blogs is growing fast, so sign up soon!
