It' Bloggy Giveaway time! I'm offering two different things, both of which pertain to writing since I understand we're supposed to offer things that reflect us. First, I'd like to give away a free copy of my curriculum, Hands-On Essays. The publisher's version is so hot off the press that I don't have it in my hands yet, so I'm offering my self-published version. This is a DVD/handbook combo curriculum designed to help teens and preteens master the essay. If you know of anyone who is planning to go to college, taking the SAT test, or just trying to learn essays, this is a simple, fun method of learning. Check out a sample of a lesson from both DVD and handbook here. It's a $50 value and a great deal, if I do say so myself!
The other thing I'd like to give away is a copy of one of my favorite writing books called Behind the Stories by Diane Eble. This book tells the stories of how some of today's top Christian fiction writers came into their calling. It's a great read if you enjoy writing or if you like reading biographies.
To enter the contest simply leave a comment below and be sure to include your name, even if you sign up as anonymous. Tell me whether you want the book, the curriculum, or if you'd like to be entered for both (you will receive one or the other if you're a winner). All entries must be posted by midnight on Friday, April 25, 2008 and I'll announce the winners on Saturday, April 26, so check by here then.
Enjoy!

Great contest! I'd love the essay curriculum for my preteen daughter. I think it could give her some excellent fundamentals. Thanks so much!
I'm hosting 3 contests this week. Stop by!
Please enter me for "Behind the Stories." Thanks for hosting! Pop over to my blog - I'm in the Bloggy Giveaway Carnival too!
Hi Bonita,
I'd love to be entered in both! I have an almost 16 year old son who could benefit from the "Hands on Essays", but the "Behind the Stories" sounds like a wonderful read for his mom :o)
Thanks for offering this give-away!
Blessings,
Joy

They both sound great, so you can enter me for both if you like, but my first pick would be the curriculum. I homeschool my son, who is entering 10th grade next year, and I have a 6th grade daughter close on his heels. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

Thanks for giving away my book, Behind the Stories, Bonita. I don't know how many you have to give away, but if anyone else wants a copy (even signed by me, the author!), send me an email: diane@wordstorprofit.com. I have a few copies left in stock, and would be happy to get them to you at a big discount. Also, check out my Internet radio show at www.reviewyak.com. I often interview authors on that show, so if people are interested in that, they can listen in. It's the Books 'n' Such program.
Wow! I would love both of these!
Thanks for the giveaway! Sign me up! ( :

I'd love either one of these. I teach ESL to English Majors in a Southeast Asian country. It is so hard to teach essay writing!
I would like the cirriculum. Sounds like it would be very helpful. Thanks. katie_mmartin (at)yahoo [dot] com
I would love to win either one! I am a FIRST YEAR high school English teacher, so this would be PERFECT for me!
I'd love to be entered for either. As a mom of teens (and four more behind them) heading to college plus as a Christian writer, both sound wonderful. :)
I could really use the curriculum. My 13yo has always struggled with language arts and essays are really giving us fits. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'd love a chance to win the curriculum. Thanks!

My fiance's younger brother is a high school sophmore and this would be really useful to him! I'm sure either would really help him in his next two years in highschool.
I have twin juniors in high school. I really think we would wear the words off the pages of your essay book! I will keep my fingers crossed.

I would love the curriculum. I think writing is almost as important as reading. I love to read and wouldl ike my children to write well. And how great that it's fun!! cookiecutter72 AT hotmail dot com
I'd love a chance to win the curriculum (but won't snub my nose at the book either). My daughter struggles with writing and I think this could totally be helpful
I would love Behind the Stories by Diane Eble. We are homeschooling, but my girls are still preschoolers :).
You have such a beautiful blog! Ah, cirriculum on writing essays sounds great since I'm hoping to teach next year. Cool gift!
I am not a teen, but I am in college and have so many essays to write. I am taking an intensive writing course this semester and I could use a lot of help so I would like to win the curriculum.
my sisters really need this! thanks! :)
As a home schooling mom, the curriculum would come in handy!
Iwould like the book. Thanks for the giveaway!

I am into writing... so i love the Behind the stories book! Thanks!
I needed that like yesterday! But hey i still need for something else now!
Would be happy to win either one, so pick me second and give me the leftovers? :-) I'm giving away some handmade goodies if you'd like to leave an interesting comment on ANY post on my blog this week--as many posts as you like.

The curriculum sounds wonderful
I'd be interested in winning either one.

I like to be entered for both. As a homeschool mom to a Jr. higher, i am very interested in your curriculum though. As a person who thinks she might like to write someday...the other giveaway sounds neat.
I'm guessing it is too late to enter the contest.
Hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day.
Blessings,
