Would you like your Campaigner Challenge stories to be published?

So many wonderful stories were written during my Campaigner Challenges, it would be a pity if they were forgotten. Katharina Gerlach (Cat as you may know her) has come up with the awesome idea to collect the stories in an eBook. It will be released at the end of the Campaign with my official Campaign badge on the cover.

The ebook will be sold for a small amount of money and all proceeds will be donated to Harry Moseley's cancer research fund. Help Harry Help Others is a fund-raising organization of eleven year old Harry who recently died of his inoperable brain tumor. When his friend Robert, who had a brain tumor too, became very ill, he set up his charity. So far, he’s raised nearly half a million British Pounds that he has donated to Cancer Research UK, to help them find a cure for brain tumors. This charity and its goals resonates strongly with me, as my father suffered (and still suffers) from a brain tumor and its effects. And it’s doing such a fantastic job helping so many in a similar position.

The ebook will be listed on Smashwords, Amazon, and Barnes&Noble and we'd love you to purchase a copy. However, just so you know, there is no obligation to purchase it if your story/stories are included.

If you would like one or more of your stories to be entered (under your name of course!), please do the following as soon as possible: 
  1. Decide which of your stories you would like published (one, two or three). Rank them in order of preference (eg, if Cat is only able to publish one or two of your stories, which would you prefer published most?)
  2. Email Cat at writecampaign[at]katharinagerlach[dot]com. Provide her with your author name, your blog name, the link to your blog/website, and one sentence (30 words max) about what you write or who you are (ie, a very short author bio). At the bottom of your email, copy and paste your three stories and clearly identify their titles and your preferred ranking for each (Rank 1, Rank 2, Rank 3)
Once the ebook has been published, Cat will send you a link in case you or your family/friends would like to purchase it. I'll also post the links on my blog.

I think this is a really exciting opportunity for all of you to have your work captured for others to read, and I'd love to see you take Cat up on this! :)

Cat will be reading the comments in this post, so any questions ask away.
