MELISSA REEDER
and
TARI LAWSON!

Congratulations! You both win a free Blurb Book ($29.95) credit!

I’ll be emailing you both privately on how to claim the Blurb Book credit so please check your emails!

Melissa Reeder plans to write a children’s book called “Omelet: A Story of An Egg” (I’m totally intrigued! What a cute idea!) while Tari Lawson’s been working on a book for her son, a book about all the ways for him to know she loves him (Awwww!)

Thank you to Blurb and Henry Grey PR for sponsoring the contest and to everyone who joined!

I’ll be having a new contest this week so keep on visiting Gadgenista!

Remember, if you want to be able to create your own bookstore quality books, Blurb can do it for you!

I know a lot of us (me included!) have always wanted to publish their own book. Be it a novel that’s just full of text, or a simple coffee table book that’s full of photos or a combination of both!

With today’s technology, publishing your own book is now as easy as pie!

With Blurb, you’re given the fabulous opportunity of producing your own bookstore quality book!

How to do this?
1. Go to www.blurb.com
2. Download Blurb’s Booksmart software to your Mac or PC – it’s free!
3. Use the software to layout your book with their variety of book layouts, created by professional book designers. You have absolute complete creative control!
4. When you’re satisfied with your creation, just hit “order” and your book will be uploaded to Blurb and will be sent for printing.
5. Wait for 7-10 days for your book to arrive and show the world your professionally done Blurb book! (Hear everyone just ooh-and-ahhh!!)

With this said, I’m giving out 2 free books ($29.95 credits) as give aways!

How to join?
Post a comment on my blog with the answer to this question: (Please include your real name and a legit email address!)

“WHAT WILL YOUR BOOK BE?”

Two (2) readers with the best answers will get a free book ($29.95 credit) from Blurb!

Contest will run starting today until June 8, 2008. So all comments received on June 9, 2008 are no longer qualified.

Blurb book prices start at $12.95 for a 7×7″ softcover book, $22.95 for a 7×7” hardcover book with dust jacket, and $24.95 for a hardcover ImageWrap book. The hardcover ImageWrap option is a brand new option that allows you to print an image directly on the front and back of any hardcover Blurb book, making it more “professional looking” and sophisticated! You can also produce a 10×8”, 8×10” or 13×11” book.

And the best thing yet, you can make your book public in the Blurb Bookstore, sell your book online at the price you set, and keep all the profit! So if it’s a really good book, you can actually start making money!

Now don’t you just want to make your own Blurb book? You never know, it could the start of your book career!
