Drum roll please!
As a way to show my gratitude for everyone who has viewed, liked, and commented on my blog posts, I decided to have a drawing for one lucky writer to win free copyediting for up to 1,500 words of his or her project for free*. Everyone who commented on one of my blog posts or website pages or referred to one of them in his or her own blog post received one entry for a random drawing. Anyone who signed up to follow me received two additional entries. And everyone who was already following me automatically received two entries.
I was thrilled to receive numerous comments and new followers, and I appreciate each and every one! I wish I could give you ALL free editing, just to thank you (and because I really love what I do!), but since this is how I make my living, I have to limit the freebies for now.
However, I’ve decided to have a bonus drawing: Anyone who goes to my Facebook page at Change It Up Editing and Writing Services by 11:59 pm on Monday, December 3, 2012 and likes the page will be eligible for the same prize*, so click that link right now and enter for one more chance to win. You’ll be glad you did–I post lots of great stuff related to books and publishing that I think you’ll find interesting.
And now, without further ado, the winner of free copyediting for up to 1,500 words of his or her choice is:
Dylan Hearn, whose blog Virginal Words can be found here: http://dylanhearn.wordpress.com/
Congratulations to Dylan, and thanks again to everyone else who entered this drawing. Don’t forget, anyone who goes to my Facebook page at Change It Up Editing and Writing Services by 11:59 pm on Monday, December 3, 2012 and likes the page will be eligible for the same prize*, and I’ll announce that winner on Tuesday, December 4.
Happy Writing!

* Winner may send an electronic Word document of any length for free editing, and I will do a substantive line edit of the first 1,500 words using track changes.
Cool Ideas and a neat way to give back. Although it may not be the reason that you decided to do it, It’s nice to see that many people participated. I hope the facebook idea is just as successful. Perhaps you could do a post at a later date about the results.
I am, quite frankly, stunned. Thank you so much. As a serial competition non-winner who treats raffle draws as charity donations, this is completely unexpected. Thank you again and an email is on it’s way.
