Carl Brandon Society drawing: win an eReader

Pay one dollar for a chance to win a pre-loaded Nook, Kobo Reader, or Alex eReader and support an emerging writer of colour:

The Carl Brandon Society is holding a prize drawing of five eReaders starting on November 5th and ending November 22nd, 2010. The funds raised will benefit the Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship, a fund that sends two emerging writers of color to the Clarion writers workshops annually.

Entrants will have the opportunity to win one of two (2) available Barnes & Noble Nooks, one of two (2) available Kobo Readers (with Wi-Fi), and one (1) Alex eReader by Spring Design. Drawing tickets cost one US dollar ($1).

Clarion and Clarion West are just about the best writing workshops on the planet: floating above all others like cirrus clouds. (Yes, maybe I am biased. Clarion is where I met Kelley. Kelley is now the Board Chair of Clarion West. We're invested.) Octavia Butler was a brilliant sf and fantasy writer. (That's just unvarnished truth.) The combination is absolutely worth your attention. But you have to hurry. Your chance to enter ends Monday 22nd November. The drawing is on Tuesday 23rd. You can buy as many tickets as you like. One dollar? Worth a flutter. Ten dollars? Ten times better. Twenty dollars? Now you're talking.
