Hootenanny 2012 List of Authors!

OMG. Are you freaking serious? THIS is the list of authors in the 2012 Hootenanny? Oh, lordie, I do believe I have a case of the VAY-pahs overcomin’ me. I must step outside for some AIR. Be right back.

Whew. Okay. First, the info on how this here Hootenanny works.

As you can see, we’ve scheduled different authors for different days. We’ll be posting a blog EACH DAY for 12 DAYS with that day’s featured authors/books BEGINNING WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12. If you’d like to be entered in a drawing for that day, leave a comment on that blog (don’t worry, we’ll include instructions every time). When you fill out the comment form (name, email), make sure you provide an email address. Have no fear. That address is not visible publicly, but we need to have it so the elves can contact you. Do NOT put your email in the body of the comment. We are trying to save you from creepy anti-holiday spambots.

At the end of each day–10 PM EST–we’ll put the names for that day in a hat/bowl/old produce box/pointy-toe cowboy boot/empty beer keg (oh, those elves!) or whatever’s handy and we’ll draw our winners. And yes, you are free to enter other drawings throughout the 12 days if you so desire. Call me crazy, but I’m thinkin’ you’ll be doing that! 🙂

Note: We kindly ask that authors whose work is featured on a particular day not participate in that day’s giveaway. That prevents you from winning your own book (which would be kinda weird, don’t you think?).

And we apologize, but you can’t sign up for specific books. We decided that would be majorly confusing and we would prefer to have fun and not perplexity. So if we draw your name third, for example, you’re matched with whatever book is numbered three on the blog list. It’s a veritable grab-bag of fun and grooviness, thus. Kind of like door prizes masquerading as books. You’ll notice, too, that some authors are offering “Winner’s Choice.” That means YOU, the winner, get to choose a title by that author that you’d like.

And you’ll notice that Bold Strokes Books is giving away a book each day (one in the form of a Radclyffe winner’s choice). That means you, the winner, choose any BSB title you want. We here at Women and Words extend a huge THANK YOU to Radclyffe, who offered this seriously delish addition to the Hootenanny.

And make note that a couple of titles are ebook only. We have indicated that next to the titles that are in that format. Unless indicated otherwise, all titles are print (not ebook).

Remember, some of these drawings are on a weekend. So check in via your ever-present mobile devices and get signed up! YEAH!

All rightie!

BEHOLD! The list of authors who have so graciously and generously donated books to help us celebrate the holiday season here at Women and Words! Do you not feel overcome by a case of the VAY-pahs? Are you not swooning with the sheer amazing-ness of this list? Do you not think that it’s a giant and especially awesome sparklepony of complete and utter reading bliss? Take some time to catch your breath. We know. We’ve had to step outside a few times ourselves.
