Enter for a chance to win a Kindle! The #FaveWritingTip sweeps spectacular

UDPATE: The contest has closed! Thanks to everyone who entered. Stay tuned for the winner.

Want to win a brand spanking new Kindle Paperwhite and learn some great writing tips in the meantime?

Of course you do. Heck, I do, and I’m running this thing.

In honor of the publication of How to Write a Novel: 47 Rules for Writing a Stupendously Awesome Novel That You Will Love Forever, which is on sale for just $4.99 at: Amazon Kindle, Apple iBooks, B&N Nook, Kobo, and Smashwords, I thought I’d do a giveaway that also compiles some great writing advice in one place. Please check out the guide while you’re here, which New York Times bestseller James Dashner called “a must-read for anyone brave enough to try their hand at a novel.”

So here’s what you do to enter:

1) Think of your favorite writing tip

2) Tweet and/or Facebook-post your favorite writing tip with the hashtag #FaveWritingTip and a link back to this post: http://bit.ly/17JYh76 If you post to Facebook it must be posted publicly in order to be entered. Feel free to use the handy-dandy button and link below:

3) If you tweet an entry, you must follow me on Twitter so I can DM you if you win:

4) If you’re on Facebook, please follow me so that you’ll see if I message you: http://facebook.com/nathanbransford

That’s it! Here are the rules:

• You can post to both Facebook and Twitter in order to increase your chances of winning, but only your first entry on both sites will be considered an eligible entry. 
• You must include both the hashtag and a link back to this post in order to be eligible.
