Opa! I just spent a glorious time in Greece and while I didn’t write any new drafts this month, two manuscripts I worked on at my personal writing retreat last month are now out on submission with my agent! It feels glorious!

What about you? Did you complete a draft and/or revision in June? Did you post a review of a 12 x 12 member book on Amazon, GoodReads, or Barnes and Noble? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and in the comments. June Featured Author Gabriella Aldeman is offering one lucky 12 x 12 member a signed copy (and swag) of her newest picture book Paula’s Patches.

Hooray! Thank you, Gabriella! 

Here’s what you need to do to check in for a chance to win:

1. See the Rafflecopter widget at the end of this post.
2. Click on the “Comment on Gabriella’s post” button. Commenting on Gabriella’s post is mandatory for this giveaway and you can enter the Rafflecopter even if you didn’t write a draft this month. Click ENTER.
3. If you haven’t commented on Gabriella’s post yet, go to the post here to comment.
4. After you’ve commented on Gabriella’s post, come back to this post to enter the Rafflecopter.  (Commenting won’t enter you in the drawing automatically, you must enter the Rafflecopter by following step 2.)
5. Click on the “Wrote a PB Draft” button. This will ask if you completed a PB draft in June. If you did, click ENTER, if not, click cancel and move on to the next step.
6. Click on the “Revised a PB Draft” button. This will ask if you revised a PB in June.  If you did, click ENTER. If not, click cancel.
7. Click on the last “Reviewed a 12 x 12 member’s book” button. This will ask if you reviewed a 12 x 12 member’s PB on Amazon, GoodReads, or Barnes and Noble in June.  If you did, enter a link to your review and click ENTER. If not, click cancel.
8. That’s it! There is no overall submit button or email confirmation. Rafflecopter will track your points. (The top of the Rafflecopter will say X/4 with X being the number of entries you currently have in the drawing.)

Here’s a video tutorial on the forum to walk you through these steps as well. Click here for the monthly check-in tutorial. (This tutorial features the old 12 x 12 website, but the steps are still the same for entering the Rafflecopter.)

You have until midnight Eastern on July 9th to enter your results. Rafflecopter will draw a winner and it will be announced on the blog on July 10th.

Remember, badges are not awarded automatically and must be requested in the forum. If you haven’t requested your June badges yet, you may do so here.
