The imaginative and generous independent publisher, Fantastic Books Publishing, is launching 9 new titles during the period 14^th October to 4^th November. There are books for all tastes here. But the point of this post is the competition accompanying the launches.

You can win copies of all these books quite simply. You merely have to share the introductory video of each title on social media using the hashtag #MABLE (Massive Autumn Book Launch Event) and the dedicated hashtag for each book you’re sharing. Details for each book appear below.

I’ve also reviewed the books and included links to those reviews. The exception is ‘Kaleidoscope’, as it contains the so-far unannounced details of the winners of the contest run by FBP to invite entries for this anthology of flash fiction stories, published to raise much-needed cash for two charities, Special Effect and Stack Up.

There is no limit to the number of entries you can make during the launch period, from 14^th October to 4^th November, and the winner will be chosen at random. Winners will be announced on Fantastic Books Publishing’s Facebook page, so don’t miss your chance to win! Remember, there’s no limit to the number of entries, so share the video as many times as you want for a chance to win!

Some of the books have already been launched, but that is no impediment to entry to the competition for the books. For those that haven’t been launched at the date of this post, I’ve included the time and date of their launch videos, which you can watch live. The other videos can be watched retrospectively by following the links below.
