To ensure everyone has a fair shot at accessing our book giveaways, we'll open the application form for each free book at a set time, and we'll announce that time in advance in our Book Club newsletter (click on this link to check you've subscribed) or, for the book of the month, on each book of the month thread.
Once the form is open, it will stay open for 24 hours and any Mumsnetter interested in the book on offer can apply for a free copy. This is NOT a first-come, first-served giveaway; anyone who applies within the 24-hour opening period has an equal chance of being chosen to receive the book.
Once the form is closed, we will then pick 50 names (or 100 etc, depending on the size of the giveaway) at random from all those who have applied.
When we have multiple giveaways running at the same time, you can apply for as many books as you like. But if your name is randomly chosen to receive more than one book, we will give you the first book and then choose another name (at random) for the other book.
Our aim is to notify all winners within 48 hours of the forms closing (though this may vary if the giveaway closes just before the weekend).
If you get an email to say you're getting a free book and do NOT receive the book within two weeks, please email us ([email protected]) and we'll chase it up with the publishers.
Thank you. Happy reading.
