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, 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

Boring Small Print

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.

Hi Sarah, would love to do your survey but when I tried, poof, it was gone. Did I miss the photo in your snowflake jammies? My name is Sherri Winston and my latest paperback, The Kayla Chronicles (Little, Brown) just came out in March. (I love how I said "latest." It's my first paperback and second published ya book.)....I need to network so holler shout do whatever it takes. I need a credible online writing community! Best wishes!....:->
