More on the Beautiful Creatures Unlock the Curse Ning & Future Contests & Promos

Comment

We  have exciting news for participants in the Beautiful Creatures: Unlock the Curse Contest.  We’re going to be featuring a number of future promotions and contests on the ning site, along with opportunities to mash it up with some of the authors and books that we love.

Those who have completed the challenges are eligable to become team leaders.  The leaders of successful teams will have certain advantages in future promotions, and will have greater access to information, as well as opportunities to interact with the authors going forward.

You don’t have to be a team leader.  Just joining the site will give you advantages in promotions for both Beautiful Creatures and the upcoming Beautiful Darkness.

If you’ve joined, great. If you’ve begun the challenges, but haven’t finished them, keep going.  It will pay off, and remember to ask for help along the way.  The members of the ning site like to help.  If you haven’t yet joined the ning site, what are you waiting for!  Join today.
