The FBC Social Distancing Giveaway (by Mihir Wanchoo)


It’s been an “interesting” few weeks for all of us in the USA as well as the rest of the world. Now with all the social distancing guidelines as well as the need to keep oneself at home, everyone’s rightly been worried about personal finances and small businesses.

Many indie stores are worried about their survival as well as authors whose names don’t end in King, Rowling or Martin. We at Fantasy Book Critic also share these concerns and while we can only do so much with reviews, interviews and spotlights. So to help with social distancing and what to do when you are self-quarantined, we have come up with a massive giveaway.

I thought how I can help the authors that I love, and also the indie bookstores that I frequent. So here’s what I’ve decided. I’m going to be doing a sixty book giveaway featuring many of FBC’s favorite authors and I’ll be using Powell’s books to buy all of those books from. Sadly this giveaway will be limited to USA only as I’m spending my own money for buying all these books and international shipping will be an expense that I won’t be able to afford.

So here’s how it will run, one grand prize winner will receive ten awesome books and ten runner-up winners will receive five books each (all randomly selected from the list of 60 titles). To enter, please send an email to "fbcgiveaway@gmail.com" with your Name, Mailing Address, and the subject: Social Distancing.

Giveaway has ENDED and was open to participants in the USA ONLY! Thank you for entering and Good Luck!

GIVEAWAY RULES:
1) Open To Anyone in the USA (only)
2) Only One Entry Per Household (Multiple Entries Will Be Disqualified)
3) Must Enter Valid Email Address, Mailing Address + Name
4) No Purchase Necessary
5) Giveaway has ENDED
