Yeah, my birthday is almost here, and I decided this year to celebrate by giving presents to other people. And not just on my actual birthday, either. I’m giving away presents every day next week, plus a couple of presents starting today.
So what are your presents?
- Day One (that’s today): Any two of my e-courses from the HollyShop, up to and including Page-Turning Scenes (but not the the writer’s block course.) I can’t give away other folks’ stuff, of course, so this is limited to just what I’ve written.
–Minimum value $15.95, max value $31.95–
Day Two (Friday 3): Any three of my e-courses from the HollyShop, up to and including Page-Turning Scenes (but not the the writer’s block course.)
–Minimum value $25.90, max value $41.90–
- Day Three (Saturday 4): Any four of my e-courses from the HollyShop, up to and including Page-Turning Scenes, OR the the writer’s block course.
–Minimum value $35.85, max value $59.95–
- Day Four (Sunday 5): Any five of my e-courses from the HollyShop, up to and including Page-Turning Scenes, OR the the writer’s block course.
–Minimum value $45.80, max value $61.80–
- Day Five (Monday 6): Any five of my e-courses from the HollyShop, up to and including Page-Turning Scenes, AND the the writer’s block course.
–Minimum value $105.70, max value $121.75–
- Day Six (Tuesday 7): All of my e-courses from the HollyShop.
–Value $151.64–
- Day Seven (Wednesday 8): Full scholarship to How To Think Sideways.
–Min value $282 (6-month course), max value $300 ($12-month course)—
- Day Eight (Thursday 9): Full scholarship to How To Think Sideways, and ANY two e-courses from the HollyShop.
–Min value $297.95, max value $376.95–
Day Nine (Friday 10): Full scholarship to How To Think Sideways, and any four courses from the HollyShop.
–Min value 307.90$, max value $386.85–
- Day Ten (Saturday 11): Full scholarship to How To Think Sideways, and ALL of my HollyShop courses.
–Value 451.64–
Total value of my birthday presents?
Absolute lowest value—$1720.33
Absolute highest value—$1987.43
But it’s more than that, really.
- Because today five people will win. ($79.95 minimum, $159.75 max in presents)
-
Friday four people will win. ($103.60 minimum, $167.80 max in presents)
- Saturday three people will win. ($107.55 minimum, $179.85 max in presents)
- Sunday, two people will win. ($91.60 minimum, $123.60 max in presents)
- Monday, two people will win. ($211.40 minimum, $243.50 max in presents)
- Tuesday, two people will win. ($303.28 in presents)
AND…
- Wednesday two people will win. ($564 minimum, $600 max in presents)
So the minimum total in presents I’m giving away for my birthday is…
$2518.87
And the maximum total in presents I’m giving away for my birthday is…
$2993.22
But that’s not all. EVERYONE who enters will receive one gift on Monday, October 13th.
The total value of my birthday bash giveaway including those gifts should be well over $5000. Could be a lot more. I’ll let you know once the confetti settles. 😀
RULES
Who can enter?
Anyone but my immediate family.
And…
You could win twice, if you enter early. Here’s how:
Anyone who wins an e-book gift cannot win any further e-book presents, but will be re-entered for one of the full scholarships.
What if you win and you’re already a student in the Think Sideways course? Then I’ll refund the tuition you’ve paid to this point, and you are in free for the rest of the course.
Will I refund you for e-books you win but already own? No. Therein lies a madness of paperwork I will not even consider. HOWEVER… I’ll be very happy to send any prizes you win (INCLUDING a full scholarship if you want to be that generous) to someone you choose. If you win and this is an issue for you, contact me.
So…
How do you enter?
Follow me on Twitter. Here’s my page: http://twitter.com/hollylisle
It’s free, it’s easy, and I’m already discovering that Twitter is a lot of fun.
If you’re already following me, you’re already entered. If you’re already a Twitter member, go to my page and click Follow and you’re entered. If you’re not already a member, it’s free and it only takes a minute to join. Then return to my page click Follow. The Follow button is right under my picture on the top left corner.
I’ll print off the complete list of my Twitter followers every day, and do a random drawing from those pages, PLUS the pages from every day’s pages before. Yes, this means that if you start following me today, you’ll get one new entry in the drawing every single day. Yes, this will improve your chances of winning, at least a little. I have no way of figuring odds. I have no idea how many people will enter. Today, right this minute, you’re odds would be about 5:32. I expect they’ll get a bit steeper over the next few days.
I’ll announce the winners at around noon my time every day. On Twitter. 😀 (Except today, when I’ll announce at around two, because I am SO behind schedule.)
So. Does that count as a cool way to celebrate a birthday?
Started “Think Sideways” last nite, I really like it. I am looking forward to the year in “Sideways” its gonna be fun and maybe alittle hard to. Wish me luck
Many Happy Returns of the day Holly!
the weather here is still too warm for oct.
I will be glad when I can enrolll in Think Sideways
Wow, you are great.
I can only present my best wishes for your birthday in exchange.
So all the best from Germany and keep up the good work (what an understatement^^)
Thank you….and Happy Birthday, Holly.
Your website is quite helpful and I’m looking forward to the Character Course. So far, fiction has proven MUCH harder for my brain than writing non-fiction.
Thanks again.
Happy Birthday Holly!! I love your books.
Your presents are fantastic. Hoping real hard for Scenes 🙂
Have a great birthday.
Mine is the 8th too. 🙂
My actual birthday is the 8th. You beat me by a day. 😀
So what day is your actual birthday? Hope you have a great birthday (mine is the 7th).
Wishing you the best on your birthday, Holly. Joined Twitter today. Looks like fun.

These are GREAT birthday presents you’re giving away! I already have the Language Clinic, Culture Clinic, and How to Think Sideways (working through them slowly here), but I am super psyched at the chance to win others. Boy, these presents are a lot better than the old mathoms the hobbits tend to pass around. 😉
P.S. On Twitter I’m artcat917. Thanks for the follow and the good wishes!
Happy Birthday Holly
Happy Birthday Holly, This is wonderful, I have just found “Holly” recently, and it’s been a “smash” Learning and Loving it.
Very cool Holly! Even fathoming the amount of work you put into all of this makes your giveaways very generous indeed!
Wow is an understatement. This is exciting!!
Have a great birthday!
I do have fun. I think this will be a blast.
Wow. WOW. You really know how to celebrate your birthdays, don’t you?
I hope it’s a great one!
