It’s been one year since I received a book contract and a long seven months since I turned in my manuscript, but now it’s only one month until you can read my book Stop Street Harassment: Making Public Places Safe & Welcoming for Women!!
To celebrate, I’ll give away a signed copy of the book through a random drawing on Thursday night, July 29. I’ll announce the winner on the blog. This is open to individuals living anywhere in the world – street harassment is a global problem.
Want to enter the book giveaway?
- Email your name* to stopstreetharassment AT yahoo Dot com by 7 p.m. EST on 7/29
- Tweet about the drawing before 7 p.m. EST on 7/29 (e.g.: “RT by 7/29 to win a signed copy of @hkearl‘s groundbreaking book Stop Street Harassment http://tinyurl.com/3xum8sn”). As long as @hkearl is in your tweet, I will find it and include you in the drawing.
How can you read the book if you don’t win?
