Free Poetry Book Giveaway

16:27:00 Posted by Lara Clayton , , , 9 comments

This is a Dead Good Blog first, but it won't be the last. Over the next couple of months, a few of the regular bloggers will be offering one lucky follower the chance of winning a free book.

I'm starting the giveaway with Jo Shapcott's Of Mutability. The poetry collection was a Costa Book Award winner at the beginning of 2011, and has been a firm favourite of mine since it was published in 2010.

How to enter:
In order to be in with a chance of winning a free copy of Of Mutability, you must be a follower of A Dead Good Blog; if you aren't already a follower, then click the little follow button.
You then need to leave a comment on the bottom of this post saying: what you like about our blog / what you would like to see on the blog.
Then finally, an email address / twitter name that will allow us to contact you if you win.

A few need-to-know points:
* Please remember to state the name you follow under.

* The giveaway is open to everyone (with the exception of regular bloggers) that is a follower.

*The giveaway will close on Tuesday 13th December at 6pm, and the winner will be selected at random.

Good Luck - and tell your friends.

Surely that should be, 'In order to win a free copy of, 'Of Mutability'?

Good spot. I was off to babysit my nephew, so I was rushing a little - no excuse though for such careless mistakes.

Well I blog regularly but not sure if that makes me a regular blogger. As I only discovered your site yesterday I’m probably not best placed to pass judgement but the articles I’ve read so far and commented on were the kind I like, through-provoking without being contentious. I have one of Shapcott’s other books on my Amazon wish list so thought I’d chance my arm here. Email address: jmurdoch@ntlworld.com

That's fine Jim, it is just the six people that blog for this particular blog that aren't allowed to enter.
Thank you for joining us, and I hope you continue to enjoy our posts.

I enjoyed the blog written by Jane Brunning. The variety of ideas to stimulate further writing was very useful.

Ooh, love Shapcott!

I like the diversity of posts on this blog. And the irreverence. I wonder if you'd like to do some more interactive poetry making - a chain renga or something? I find those things really fun, and I enjoyed the prompts you posted recently.

My email is nikki dot magennis at gmail dot com. Cheers all!
