I subscribe to newsletters of local bookstores & writing groups/organizations. They usually mention a few on-going contests from different sources each month.

Actually I only applied to two contests and won them both. I found them through other blogs. You had to write a post about the contest and when I saw the post I submitted an entry myself. Where do you typically find out about contests? I’d love to apply to others.

Hi Ruby Leigh – I’ll write up a post this week with links to the survey sites. I’ve never had a problem with my phone numbers ending up on lists. At least not that I know of.

Hi Sarah – Thanks for the comment. I’ll try to write up a post this week to answer your questions. It’ll take me awhile to dig up all the info.

Thanks!
