And the winners are …
The winners have been selected in the first-ever drawing for free spots in my e-course on writing for trade magazines. A total of 63 people entered the drawing; I am so psyched about all the interest in the class.
First, I wanted to explain how I did the drawing. Originally, I was going to go old school, write down everyone’s names on slips of paper and draw names out of a hat. But since Tuesday was my husband’s birthday, I really didn’t want to spend the evening cutting up pieces of paper. So, I went to him and asked him to give me two numbers between 1 and 63. He picked 49 (that’s how old he is now) and 18. Then I asked him if I should count from the top of the list down, or from the bottom of the list up (I had them in a folder in Outlook, arranged chronologically). He picked top down. My only involvement in the process was counting from 1 to 49. Trust me, he felt the pressure knowing that it was all on him!
The winners are:
First place, winning a premium version of my e-course – Debbie Koenig
Second place, winning a basic version of my e-course – Angie Mansfield
Congratulations to them both!!
For everyone else, registration for the September class is open now, right here at www.TheRenegadeWriter.com. As always, I offer a money-back guarantee. If you get through the first two weeks of the course and it’s just not what you thought it would be, you’ll get a full refund of your registration.
Thanks to much to everyone who entered the drawing!

Congratulations, Debbie and Angie!
Pat, your way to choose a number randomly is super fun, but you might also consider running numbers at random.org. No cutting of paper involved!
Good job, Debbie and Angie. Hopefully either will let us know how they enjoyed the course(s).
That is a really good idea! using your husband to decide… really funny. I wouldn´t use another instrument, it´s probably the best!
Of course congratulations Debbie and Angie!
Thanks so much – I can’t wait for class to start!
Congrats!
