Giveaway campaigns

What a giveaway is

A giveaway is a campaign whose copies come with no review obligation. The author sets the number of copies, how winners are chosen (first come, until the copies are gone, or drawn on a closing date), and how the book is delivered (read on Booklabria, a protected download or Send to Kindle, as any campaign). There is no deadline, no reminder and nothing on your follow-through for winners.

For the reader

• Giveaways appear on the Early copies page under Free early copies, marked Giveaway, and on the book's page, which is where you enter: Enter the giveaway is one press from the book page (the Early copies page takes you there first). A first-come giveaway hands you the copy at once if any are left.
• Once entered, you can withdraw your entry any time before the draw. If you win, you are told under the bell and by e-mail, and the copy lands in your Library on the From authors shelf, marked From Ana Reyes, a giveaway you won with Nothing was paid and nothing is owed. under it, to open or download like any copy; it is yours and stays after the book is out (A copy from an author). If the draw did not pick you, you are told once; the entry stays in My early copies as Not this time., and nothing about it is on your record.
• Every giveaway links its official rules: free to enter, no purchase, one entry per account, the draw or first-come rule, the prize, the sponsor (the author's pen name; Booklabria is the platform).
• A review is welcome but never owed. Writing one carries the early reader mark like any review from a copy. My early copies holds the copies that do owe a review, so a win never sits under that promise.

For the author

• Studio › Campaigns › New campaign, campaign type Giveaway. The wizard drops the review deadline and the requirements; it keeps the book, the copies, the delivery choice and your note, and asks for the draw date or, on first come, the end date.
• Each winner counts as one reader toward what your plan allows per campaign, exactly like an approval.
• A drawn giveaway closes on its date and picks winners at random among the entries; you cannot choose them, and the page says so to readers. A first-come giveaway closes when the copies are gone or on its end date, whichever comes first. Entries are approved on their own; you can decline an entrant before the draw only, never after a claim.
• Entries and wins show on the campaign's Activity and in the Reader spots block; a giveaway has no funnel. Winners never see each other's names.
