2009 Emails

[NaNoWriMo :: Chicago] Get a FREE copy of your novel in book form by June 30!

Hello ChiWriMos! Long time no talk. I hope you're all doing well since we last met in December. Enjoying the warm weather, celebrating the Blackhawks' win, hiding in your basement from tornadoes...

I wanted to bring to your attention a VERY COOL and VERY FREE and MOSTLY EASY TO USE benefit for NaNoWriMo 2009 winners. If you completed your 50,000 word novel last November, guess what? You can get a FREE copy of your novel, all bound up and pretty in actual book form! (If you didn't win in 2009, you should still read on, and save this email for that big win in 2010!)

CreateSpace is a self-publishing online system owned by Amazon.com, and they've partnered up with NaNo to offer all winners a free copy of their novel each year. Pretty sweet deal, huh? The catch, though, is that this offer expires on June 30... next week!

We want to make sure all of you take advantage of this incredible offer. What better way to show your NaNo Winner's Pride than to have a copy of your book sitting on your shelf, right next to Tolkien, Hemingway, Austen, and Stephanie Meyer.

Head on over to the "I Wrote a Novel, Now What" section of the website (http://www.nanowrimo.org/nowwhat) and get your special promo code. Then, head over to the CreateSpace NaNo site (https://www.createspace.com/nanowrimo) and follow the steps to get your printed novel mailed to you!

I've also created a step-by-step guide on "How to format and upload your CreateSpace Novel", which can be found over on our forum: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/3599694.

Please don't hesitate in emailing me if you have any problems getting your novel uploaded! And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send us a picture of you with your newly-published novel once you get your copy! We'd love to have them for our website and to show at the 2010 NaNo events!
