To save yourself from having to retype everything, we strongly suggest you do the following: 1. After you complete each answer, copy and paste the information into a Word document. If there is any issue with your submission, you can then email the Word doc to us. 2. Make sure any photos you upload are no larger than 2 MB each. 3. After you hit the Submit button, send an email to natcromo@crochetville.com and let us know you've submitted the form. If it doesn't go through for some reason (which it will not if photos are too big), we can respond and ask you to email the Word doc to us, along with the photos.Your Contact InformationYour Name* First Last Email*You will be added to a mailchimp email list for the exclusive purpose of easily sending you blog tour information.

As much as we all may hate it, freebies really do drive blog traffic. You may choose to make something permanently free or free for a limited time only (one week from the date of your blog post, for example). Results from previous years show that designers who offered a freebie had the highest click-through rates to their blog posts.
