Red Room Where the Writers Are

How many authors do you know that would enter a contest for book exposure?  I've known more than a few myself.  It's a good idea because it generates really good sales.   A contest that awards excellence may even get an author noticed by the bigger publishers-- another bonus. 

Authors try and do a lot for their books because they have great passion for them and their readers.  Having said that, how many authors do you know that would enter a contest just to give their readers a discount on their print books?  Once you come up with that number, add one more to it. 

This author has decided to enter Lulu.com's November contest just so her readers can get a discount on her print books.  Why?  Well, I usually never bother with contests because I don't win unless it's something I can't use.  I remember winning free music downloads left and right when I didn't own a computer.  I was convinced that that was the only reason why I won.  So, for me, contests just don't seem worth it...

Until now.  I finally came across a contest that was worth entering because it gives a discount to readers.  Now that's a contest!  Details about the discount are on my website, http://www.kimberleylinstruth-beckom.com.
