Welcome to my first ever Friday Fiction competition! 

I’m on a mission to get my followers to take a break from their hectic lives and pick up a book.

Every Friday between 7am & 9pm, all you need to do is follow me (@pollycourtney) and retweet any of my #FridayFiction tweets or include #FridayFiction in a tweet to me, and you could be in with a chance of winning a fantastic prize….

This week’s lucky #FridayFiction winner will receive a fantastic ‘Polly Package‘: personalised signed copies of all my books, which can be enjoyed in the new summer sunshine!

I’ll be giving away a different prize each week: free fiction, book themed activities… maybe even the odd book signing… and invaluable advice on the literary world and self-publishing.

So don’t forget to tune in every Friday (7am – 9pm) and just ‘follow&RT’ to be in with a chance of winning!

– Good luck! –

How to enter:

It couldn’t be easier. With your Twitter account, follow @pollycourtney and RT one of that week’s Friday Fiction tweets or include #FridayFiction in your own tweet, while the competition is open (7am-9pm).

For example “@pollycourtney #FridayFiction” You can also make your Tweet a bit more personal if you like, for example “@pollycourtney I hope I win this weeks #FridayFiction as I love books!”
