Contest For Meg McCafferty Fans
Ok, everyone loves Meg McCafferty, right? Her books are great. I love them.
is due out August 2007.
So, here's a contest for you--direct from her blog: http://www.meganmccafferty.com/retroblogger/
The Fourth Comings Mini-Film Contest
Who: Fans of Jessica Darling, aspiring film-makers, obsessive vloggers, or anyone who is creative with a camera
What: Create an original 3-minutes-or-under video that summarizes the action in Sloppy Firsts, Second Helpings and Charmed Thirds
When: Starting right now, submissions are due by August 7th, 2007 (aka the on-sale date of Fourth Comings)
Where: Post your video on YouTube with the tags Fourth Comings, Megan McCafferty, then email me the link via megan@meganmccafferty.com
Why (part one): To bring new and forgetful readers up to speed on the action leading up to Fourth Comings, and also because I thought it would be a fun distraction tactic until August 7th (for me, if not you)
Why (part two): The director of the best video (as determined by yours truly and a panel of my novel-writing peers) will win a customized Fourth Comings tote bag, containing The Megan McCafferty Collection, including (but not limited to) autographed copies of all the Jessica Darling novels and other books I've contributed to, audio books, and an original You, Yes, You T-shirt
How: Dramatic reading! Music video! Interpretive dance! Anime! Finger-puppet theater! However you want to express yourself...as long as the video is under three minutes and complies with YouTube's Terms of Use
I'll blog about the most entertaining videos as they come in. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Good luck from...
