“ignore everybody” galleys for twitterers

15 Comments

[UPDATE– about 3 minu­tes later: Sorry, the twelve emails arri­ved quickly. Wow. No more galleys to give away, for now. Sorry.]
I’ve got twelve galley copies of my upco­ming book, “Ignore Every­body”, to give away. Here’s the deal:
1. You have to have been active on Twit­ter for at least three months.
2. You have to have been follo­wing me on Twit­ter for at least one month.
3. You need to send me an email with the word, “Galley” in the sub­ject hea­der. In your email I need your your name, your ship­ping address, and your Twit­ter ID.
4. The email you send needs to be, in some way, inte­res­ting, amu­sing, or both.
5. I’ll mail a galley to the first twelve folk whose email fits this cri­te­ria.
6. Thanks for everything!
[UPDATE @:] Even though I clo­sed down the com­pe­ti­tion after 3 minu­tes, I still got about 100 e-mails after from peo­ple, trying their luck. Rock on.

   My tweet last night on this had to do with #4 on your list. It wasn’t sur­pri­sing to me at all that you would have 12 requests in 3 minu­tes; it was quite an offer, and you have a lot of fans. What I had a hard time envi­sio­ning was that many peo­ple being suc­cess­ful at being “inte­res­ting, amu­sing, or both,” given what I per­ceive as your rela­ti­vely high stan­dards for what qua­li­fies.
   The reply I got back felt a bit like being poked with a pointy stick. Lots of hard-learned rea­sons for such I’m sure… but just wan­ted to leave a note to encou­rage you to not for­get kind­ness on your way up.
   Best of luck and suc­cess to you in the meantime.

   You are accep­ting pre-orders aren’t you??

   Damn Hugh, that is one hell of a baby pic­ture. I hope you are happy/proud with the pro­duct of your effort. Never heard of a galley copy before. Thanks for inc­lu­ding “us” in the pro­cess.
   Ever for­ward,
   Michael

   Good luck with it though, next time you can give away 12000 or something!
