Yz the Whyz (whyz) | 9327 comments Welcome to the official home of our Ask An Author, Win A Book corner.

Each week, we will have a guest author who will visit with us within a certain period of days (between 3-5 days), answer questions from members, and will giveaway a book/s to a lucky winner.

Just to keep things fun and stress-free, here are a few guidelines/reminders to keep in mind.

Participants

One to two questions only per post. Let us keep our questions polite and friendly. Participate often but please don’t monopolize either.

If the author is not online when you posted your question, please be patient. Not required, but recommended, please bold your question/s, so it is easily visible.

Also, please do a quick check of the thread to make sure that your question has not been asked already.

It will be one entry for the raffle, no matter how many times you visited/participated in the thread.

For non-US members, please take note, whether the raffle is open worldwide or not. We would really like everybody to have the chance to win, but that will depend on the author. However, non-US members are always welcomed to ask questions and participate, even if the are not eligible for the giveaway.

If you are the winner, please contact the author within 48 hours on the process of claiming your prize. If you are an e-book winner, please remember that the same copyright rules apply to this e-book as if you bought it.

Authors

Thank you for agreeing to participate and sharing your valuable time with us.

Please visit your thread as often as it is possible for you. To keep yourself organized, please answer questions on a “first posted, first to be answered” system. Feel free to use the ‘quote’ feature or copy and paste the question that you are answering, maybe leaving the “question” in italics and your “answer” in bold.

You are not required to answer all questions, if a question/s made you feel uncomfortable or for whatever reasons you may have, but please acknowledge all questions. Again, let us keep the thread a friendly and courteous place.

You are responsible for conducting the giveaway and must choose the winner randomly. We would appreciate it if you can make arrangements to send the prize within a week after you have announced the winner.

Again, we are all excited with this new venture, and are hoping that everybody will enjoy the wonderful conversations we would have with our guests.

OPEN INVITATION:

If we have any authors lurking in our group who would like to be part of our Ask an Author, Win A Book roster, feel free to send a private message to any of the group moderators.


NOTE: Unfortunately, due to the number of interested authors and in keeping with the goals of this folder, we can only host an author ONCE in our Ask an Author, Win a Book Corner. If you had been an Ask an Author, Win a Book Corner author participant before, and would like to announce or promote a new book, feel free to use our (Self)Promotion folder.

Rossy (naughtybookjunkie) | 2192 comments Lets welcome Jim, DD, Fran as the new hosts for this corner! They have graciously agreed to do this for us, as we have become rather busy with our jobs/RL to run it properly, so they have agreed to give us a hand.

If any of the authors/members have any questions/inquiries regarding this corner, you can contact me or one of them, through private message.

Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim) (jim_formerly_photojim) | 5294 comments Only two more days until the Ask an Author re-opens! Put on your thinking caps and see if we can't come up with some good questions for our guests.

I'm certainly looking forward to getting to know a little more about a bevy of authors. Know an author that you think would be great to invite or you think would answer some questions for us? Let us know!

Fran | 12278 comments I'm so excited to be a part of Ask An Author! I love discovering new authors and books to read. And to get to know the authors and chat with them about their work is such a bonus.

I hope all of you will stop by the author threads and ask a question. Hope to see you there!

Dee (austhokie) | 7316 comments Hey everyone - just as a note - when giveaways are limited to the US and Canada, to keep it fair - if I don't see a country indication inn your profile you won't be entered in the giveaway because I have no way of verifying except to send PM's to everyone and that isn't possible - sorry
