To help drum up publicity for The Chicktionary while I compete in the SHAPE Magazine Best Blogger Awards, I’m going to be hosting some guest expert interviews and giveaways over the next couple of weeks.
Tomorrow, Eva Christina, author of The Book of Kink, will be answering reader-submitted questions on all your dirty perversions, and I’ll be giving away a free copy of her book on Twitter. Wanna win? Here’s the deal: some of you have tweeted in questions and are already entered (yay!), and the rest of you can enter by retweeting this tweet promoting my blog’s nomination. I’ll contact the winner via direct message on Twitter by midnight (EST) tomorrow.
Want in on another giveaway? Susun Weed, a pioneer in herbal medicine, will be on hand later this week to give advice on herbal remedies for sexual health. (Did you know you can deal with that yeast infection without resorting to CVS? You can!) I’ll also be giving out THREE COPIES of Down There: Sexual and Reproductive Health, The Wise Woman Way — one each on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. (Tumblr followers, you can win a copy just by reblogging this post or submitting a question to Susun.)
I have TONS of upcoming contests planned and some really cool prizes that will help keep you safe and satisfied in the bedroom. In the meantime, if you want in on a subscriber-only giveaway for a sex/lifestyle-related product (announcing this soon!), sign up for my new monthly newsletter here. It’s going to be really, really good, promise! (The prize, no guarantees on the newsletter.)
And don’t forget to vote!
