Multi-Author Charity Auction!

Welcome to the Multi-Author Charity Auction. All proceeds will be going to Alaqua Animal Refuge, which over the weekend rescued 97 dogs and 6 horses. They are in desperate need of donations to help cover the care of their newly gained residents. This refuge is a NO KILL SHELTER so they are with the animals for the long run.

Some very generous authors have agreed to donate their time or their books to help this wonderful cause. There is something here for avid readers AND writers, so be sure to look at all of the packages up for bid.

How to Bid

Leave a comment below stating the package you're bidding on and the dollar amount you're bidding. For instance, in the comments, you would say "Package C $100".
The bidding opens today when this post goes up, and ends Friday at noon CST. If you've won, you'll be asked to mail me a check or money order made payable to Alaqua Animal Refuge. Open to US/Canada residents only.

  10. Would love to bid on this but live in the UK!If I am able to send a cheque in the right currency regardless of this is it OK to bid on the critique packages in spite of where I live? Or is there another reason the critique packages are open to US/Canada only?

    ReplyDelete
  11. This is so awesome! Just a clarification question that might help me decide...when you say partial manuscript read and critiqued in package D, how much of the manuscript does that mean? Package B is 30 pages and C is the 1st chapter, but if D includes as much as B plus the phone call, it is on!!! lol :-D

    ReplyDelete
  12. Kristen,
    Actually the partial in package D is for 50 pgs critiqued plus a phone call. Sorry I didn't specify! I'll change that now.

You could really help a lot of people out and involving fellow authors and artists...so clever and classy. Do you write?

  26. Darn, I just now noticed it says my last bid was 3 minutes late. I got stuck on the prove-your-a-human thing. Those things always get me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ha! Same here lol I am guessing is based on the timestamp from the blog itself because there wouldn't be any other way to be fair with everyone's clocks being a little off. I felt guilty bidding against you "grey eyed girl" lol I was like "this feels so wrong!" ha I wait in anticipation as well! =o)

  28. I just checked Anna's twitter and she just tweeted we still have four hours left. https://twitter.com/ByAnnaBanks/status/370956972008697857 Does that mean we still have more time to bid?

    2. Giiiiirl, you had some of us worried AND hopeful!!! Hahahaha! My bestie was bout to take me to Jamba Juice to celebrate and was yelling at me to come out of the bathroom like some tragic event had taken place and I kept saying "what-what? What's wrong!?" She showed me your post and I did that cheesy monologue "Noooooooooo!" cry and posted my 12:27 comment.
      On a high note, I think a nice amount of money was raised for the charity...how cool that no matter who won the bidding, the shelter is getting some help? This was awesome!
