Your Child could be a Character in my Next Book!

Amy Burrell — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 09:23:03 +0000

I have just created a competition giving all my subscribers the chance to enter their child in the draw to be a character in my next book. I am in the process of writing my next book and enjoy using real people as inspiration for my characters. All you have to do is subscribe to my blog! See the subscription form on the right hand side of this site.

As I begin my journey of selling my ‘Catch that Fly!’ books I am overwhelmed with the support and enthusiasm from everyone I meet. I decided I need to do something to say a little thanks and give children the opportunity to be involved in my creative process a bit more. As much as I would love to create a character based on every single one of you I can only commit to one at this point and time. So once I am ready to create the next book I will put all my subscribers chosen children’s names into a hat and draw out the lucky winner! This winner will send me a name and photo of either themselves or a nominated child or adult that they would like to be a character in my next book. I will then use this image to inspire the lead character in my story. The winner will be sent a signed copy of the book and a signed original drawing of their character.

So sign up and be in to WIN!
