Share your thoughts on connecting with authors online and enter to win a $25 book store gift card!
This one’s for YA readers, teachers, librarians, reviewers, bloggers, publishing pros, authors, and anyone interested in young adult books. I’m working on my Web and social media strategy (which sounds so officially stuffy but I assure you, it’s almost 5 PM here on the east coast and I’m still in my snowflake PJs and big fuzzy slippers, neither pantsuit nor pantyhose in sight, and I’ve got no immediate plans to make myself even remotely presentable, let alone “officially stuffy”) and I’d love to know what you think about connecting with young adult authors online.
It’s a quick survey – 8 questions – and your responses will help me tremendously! At the end, you can enter for a chance to win a $25 gift card to your favorite book store (or whatever book store sells gift certificates online) to load up on some of the books you’ve been Twittering, Facebooking, blogging, reviewing, and otherwise fangirling/fanboying online.
As an added incentive, if I get 50 or more responses, I’ll post a picture of me in aforementioned snowflake pajama glory on an upcoming blog post. Now how can you put a price on that? Better get on that survey and send your book-lovin’ friends over there, quick! 
SURVEY: Connecting with Young Adult Authors Online
3/23 Update: We reached the 50 responses goal, so I had to raise the stakes. I promised Sharon I’d do a video blog post if we hit 100. And then we passed 100, so now… if we get 150 or more, I’ll accept Sharon’s invitation to do a guest video for SevenBookBabes. Keep those responses coming!

The survey is anonymous. The survey and contest are open to anyone anywhere who has a connection to YA books. Participants under age 13 who want to enter for a chance at the $25 gift card must have a parent or guardian provide an email address for their entry. One winner will be selected at random and can select the book store of his or her choice, provided I’m able to order the gift card online. Email addresses entered for the contest will not be saved, shared, or used for any other purpose aside from this contest. The contest is open until 12 midnight ET on Sunday, April 5. Winner will be announced on April 5.
I’m filling it out and I have to see the picture.
Well we’re getting close, but I need more! Share the love and maybe you’ll see that pic! lol

I posted a link because I agree with Sharon, we have to see that picture!

LOL you guys are awesome! I’m going to have to hire a lighting tech and makeup artist for this “casual working in my PJs” pic!
This was a great idea! Thanks for sending me the link for the survey! I will send it on to some of my other avid reader friends!
Cool, thanks so much! At this rate I’m gonna have to post two PJ pics!
I already took the survey and it was surprisingly really fun. Or maybe that’s just me being a dork, LOL. Can’t wait to 20 BOy SUmmer to come out (and to see that picture!)
I can’t wait to hear what the results are!
I’ll spread this on facebook so you’ll have no way but put the pic up at once: D
Hehehe! Oh, a pic is coming, don’t worry about that. We might even have to do a video!
Thank you for sharing the link on Facebook, Thao!

Twenty Boy Summer. I took the survey, it wasn’t painful at all! I have posted the link to your survey on my book forums.

Hi Sarah! Yes, this contest was international – the winner is actually from Australia. The contest is closed now, but I’ll be doing more in the future. Thanks for visiting!
