Special Waiting Room

Wow, guys, sorry I haven't posted in FOREVER. I'll post a real Waiting Room soon, but for now, here is a special announcement:
Ally Carter is giving away an ARC of Gallagher Girl Book 3: Don't Judge a Girl By Her Cover which will be released June 9. All that's required is a short essay (250 words or less) on "What it means to be a real Gallagher Girl."
Rules are as follows:

Entrants should write an essay on the topic "What it means to be a real Gallagher Girl." Please email your essay to AllyCarterContest@gmail.com on or before April 30, 2009. Your essay cannot be longer than 250 words. Essays may be shorter than 250 words, but essays over this length will not be considered. Essays will be judged both on what you say and how you say it, so be sure and spell-check, proofread, and turn in an essay that would make a Gallagher Girl proud. A parent, guardian, or teacher may assist, but you must write the essay yourself. Entries must be included in the body of the email—no attachments. Emails that contain attachments will be deleted immediately and will not be considered. The subject line of your email should read GG3 ARC contest. You may only submit ONE entry, so make it a good one. Along with your essay, you must include the following information:
Your Name
Your age (if under 18)
A complete mailing address where any prizes you might receive should be mailed (this could be home, school, your parent's work address, etc.—please note to whose attention the package should be addressed)
Your preferred t-shirt size
Your email address Unfortunately, due to the cost and difficulty of shipping overseas, the contest will be limited to people in the U.S. and Canada.

Winners will be notified by May 8. First place will recieve an ARC and a T-shirt, as well as their essay being posted on the website. Second place will recieve a play away version of Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy and a T-shirt.

Start writing!
