Next week is the national Romance Writer’s of America convention in Orlando, Florida. To kick off that convention, there’s a signing on Wednesday evening. Proceeds from the signing always go to a local-to-the-convention-town literacy program. The signing is huge, hosting hundreds of authors and it’s a booklover’s dream! Carina Press is offering you the opportunity to share in a small part of the fun.

Beginning today, Wednesday July 21st and running through Tuesday, July 27th, you can enter the contest–via Twitter only–to win a signed book from an author of your choice. Yes, that’s ANY author who’s attending the RWA literacy signing. They don’t have to be a Carina or Harlequin author! Any author. Choose your favorite!

You can get two entries per day, starting today and ending Tuesday the 27th. Winners will be contacted Wednesday, July 28th, the day of the signing!

You must be following @CarinaPress to be eligible to win so we can contact you via DM about your prize and to get your contact information

To enter:

1) Tweet this once per day: Win a signed book from 1 of 500 authors at RWA from @CarinaPress. Visit http://bit.ly/cipaCo #CarinaRWA

2) Tweet this once per day: Hey @CarinaPress I want to win a signed book from [author name) http://bit.ly/cipaCo #CarinaRWA

example: Hey @CarinaPress I want to win a signed book from Jaci Burton http://bit.ly/cipaCo #CarinaRWA

–in each tweet you must remember to include both the hashtag #CarinaRWA so we can track your entry, as well as the link to this post http://bit.ly/cipaCo so your tweet is eligible! Any entries that don’t contain both of these two elements will be disqualified. Anyone not following @CarinaPress will be disqualified (this happened in the spring contest, two winners who were randomly drawn were not following us and I could not DM them so they were disqualified)

There will be hundreds of authors attending, so browse the list and choose just one! In addition to the signed book, you’ll also win your choice of one of the Carina Press titles in digital format. Two prizes per winner, an old favorite and a potential new favorite! We’ll choose five winners. Contest is open internationally.

Just to be clear, the only way to join in this contest is via Twitter. This blog post is only intended as an explanation and to provide rules for those following along on Twitter. Commenting on this post will not enter you into the contest, you must participate on Twitter. Other legal terms/rules can be found here if you have some extra time on your hands.

(psst, there will also be a secondary contest running on our Facebook page at some point during the next week. You might want to become a fan if you’re not already)
