This just in from Beth at Sourcebooks! – get your camera ready and off you go!…

Hi there!  In the June memoir, All Roads Lead to Austen the author Amy Elizabeth Smith took Jane Austen’s works along with her as she traveled to foreign countries. Her goal was to see if the magic of Jane Austen could hold its power across borders, languages and cultures.  Amy took Jane to far off countries – and we need your help to take her even further! We are holding a contest called All Around the World with Jane! Join us on our Austen love fest by printing out our Jane Austen “flat Stanley.” [see below] – Take pictures of yourself with Jane in your hometown or on your vacation, and submit it from April 30th – June 30th! 

We will award the following prizes to the individuals with the most creative picture: 

1 Grand Prize Winner will receive:

• An E-reader with all of our available Austen sequels/continuations downloaded on to it
• A signed copy of All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith
• A Skype session with Amy Elizabeth Smith

3 Second Place Winners will receive:

• A signed copy of All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith
• A choice of 5 Jane Austen sequels/continuations from Sourcebooks

5 Third Place Winners will receive:

• A signed copy of All Roads Lead to Austen by Amy Elizabeth Smith 

You can then submit your pictures on the All Around the World with Jane Facebook page or email your submission to landmark@sourcebookspr.com. 

Below are some examples of where Jane has been already (Times Square, The Jane Austen Centre in Bath, and the Sourcebooks offices!) and attached is the flat Stanley that you can print off (also available on the Facebook page).  

One more thing! Barnes & Noble is offering this title as a NOOK First! The eBook is being offered early now and at only $6.99 for a limited time!  Please pass this along! We want to see Jane go as many places as possible! 

Thank you!
