Fourth Writers' Platform-Building Campaign - Announcement

Thanks heaps to all of you who voted on the question of whether we should have one Campaign or two this year (and an even bigger thanks to those who volunteered to help out!). The results were so close (50% each way) and many of you were so keen to go ahead, that I've decided to do the following:

I'll be having two Campaigns this year, one beginning in February and the other in August (after WriteOnCon). However, this coming Campaign in February will be a mini-Campaign and will only run until mid-March (one month). I'll be setting up a List of Campaigners so you can meet each other, and I'll run one or two Campaigner Challenges and a Campaigner Notice-Board. That will be about it. Then the main Campaign will be in August.

Sounds good, I hope :)

The Fourth Campaign will begin on Monday, February 6th, so make sure you come back then and sign up. Can't wait to see you all on board!

Love the challenges. Since this is a mini, maybe I can squeeze it in.

Catherine Johnson said...

Oh decisions! I might be traveling in Aug. I'll know nearer time. Don't want to miss it!

One mini campaign and one longer campaign sounds like a great compromise. I look forward to the one coming in February :-)

Hey, Rach,

I see you worked it out. This is a terrific solution. I might be able to this one and I am so in for the main one in August.

Have a great week!

OH boy...I have two blogfests I'm participating in during February. This one will be the biggest though so the sooner you let us know dates...the better.

I think this is a wonderful solution. I look forward to the next Campaign. :)

Hi Rach,

Looking forward to Mini and Major :)

PS... Can we pull the badge now to use for promoting or have to wait until the Campaign begins?

Rachael Harrie said...

@Mark, awesome! Yep, feel free to pull the badge now if you want. I'll be including it in my official post on Feb 6 as well :)

Hugs,

Rach
