The exact same thing happened to me a few years ago with lots of people unsubscribing and Mailchimp flagging my account. I had to not only explain what happened but promise never to use that giveaway company again before they would let me access my account again!

I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to contact authors and been unable to find something as simple as a contact form!

I hear you, Denise. It is the law. The people entering the contest were given all that information.

It was a huge learning experience for me, happening very early on in this career.

I would advise writers to be careful when joining this type of venture. Choose people they know by reputation or personally, and be of the same genre as the other writers. Otherwise you are setting yourself up for a major headache.

Thanks, Bob!
Say hi to everyone for me. They are a great group of writers and I miss them.

I don't need to wish you good luck. You will be awesome!

Let them know it's a newsletter builder. Let them know they are automatically added. If you don't want them unsubscribing, be honest. It's the law!!! So many of these giveaways are "baiting" them to enter with a big prize and they don't tell the reader in clear and concise language they are being added.

Federal law is very clear and so many authors are ignoring it.

I'll be speaking to a writer's group next month. These kinds of engagements are good exposure. It' a great way to share your experience and help other writers to succeed, while promoting your own work.
