Valentine’s Day love is all around this February for Outskirts Press authors.
Outskirts Press is giving authors a shot at winning a sparkling black HP 2000-2d65NR 15.6-inch laptop computer with Windows 8! How? By serving up a bouquet of lovely thoughts in our 3rd Annual “Show Us Your Love” social media event and video contest. One talented (and lucky) author will take home the prize – that’s a sweetheart of a deal!
Videos are being accepted until midnight on Saturday, February 22, 2014 and will be shared on our Facebook Page, YouTube Channel and Twitter Feed. The three finalists that receive the most “likes” on our Facebook page will be selected for a public vote during the last week of February on the Outskirts Press blog.
But wait! Do you want to a chance to WIN this year’s Show Us Your Love contest? If so, all you have to do is start publishing with Outskirts Press today and submit your video by midnight on Saturday, February 22, 2014. Even if you haven’t published yet but have started the process, you can “show us your love” for a chance to win.
Here’s how it works: Use a video camera, smartphone or iPad to challenge your artistic talent by recording a 1- to 3-minute video that creatively highlights your love for your book (or book-in-progress) and for Outskirts Press. Then, send the video file to love@outskirtspress.com by midnight on Saturday, February 22, 2014. It’s just that simple!
Regardless of where you are in the writing or publishing process, you can, at the very least, have a voice in who wins. Be sure to follow our Facebook page so you can “like” your favorite video(s) and visit our blog the last week in February to place your vote. We will announce the winner of the free HP laptop computer with Windows 8 on Friday, February 28, 2014.

| AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT & SUCCESS STORY |
“I chose Outskirts Press as my publisher because they were rated number 1 with Consumer Reviews. They were always just an email or a phone call away when I needed help and support. I would highly recommend publishing with Outskirts Press.”
Ruth Pollack has deemed her life purpose is to help and serve others. She is currently managing a community family resource center full time and also helps to feed and distribute contributed items to the homeless on the weekends. In 2004 Ruth was awarded the Presidents Volunteer Service Award. Ruth resides in Ohio with her husband of 35 years, Gary. They have three children and six grandchildren.
An incredible book – even if its subject matter has nothing to do with your situation, this story can help you to understand your own life and circumstances more clearly. Family dysfunction touches millions of people and has no boundaries. It is found in every country and in all walks of life, taking victims in every social class, income bracket and education level. Honest and transparent, Ruth Pollack shares her personal story of tragedy and triumph, survival and success. The childhood experiences she discloses are at times uncomfortable – experiences that are current realities for many children in our schools.
– Ruth Pollack, author of Everything I Need to Know I Learned In a Dysfunctional Family
