The 100 Days of Wordstock Twitter Contest

I ♥ Wordstock Buttons
July 18–August 1, 2011

Where do those little red dots of literary love come from? Who thinks up and writes down those lovely little nuggets of book wisdom and word nerdry? For the first time ever, Wordstock reveals this closely guarded secret: those bits of brainy flair are created by none other than writers just like you. And for the first time ever, Wordstock turns the writing over to our most faithful festival attendees.

In addition to being published on a limited-edition, 1” plastic button read by 20,000 Wordstock attendees, winners will also receive:
• Free admission to the festival.
• A Wordstock shirt on which to pin your tomes.
• Your name listed in our email newsletter, on the website, and at the Wordstock membership and merchandise table.
