I'm looking for submissions of favorite tips. If your tip is selected for inclusion, you will be credited with contributing it. Keep in mind that a disclaimer will be published in the book, stating that authorship or origination of each tip is NOT being credited to the person who submitted the idea. In otherwords, in no way are you claiming to have discovered the idea by contributing it.

I will contact everyone who sends me a tip(s) whether or not I've chosen their submission for inclusion. Final determination will be made by the publisher. IF a tip identical or similar to the one you submitted has alreay been sent in or has been has been used in this or one of my previous books, I won't be able to use it.

I would love to give a book to everyone who's tips are selected, but since I have to pay for the books myself, that won't be possible. I will however, upon the book's release (fall 2005), offer one copy at the wholesale price + shipping and handling costs, to everyone who's
tip has been printed. I need to have all tips e-mailed to me at:


no later than December 15th. I will respond to everyone letting you know whether or not your tip has been chosen for approval by my editor. I will follow with an e-mail to everyone who's tip(s) I've chosen once I find out if your's has been selected to be published. Thanks for everyone's help and support.

Clayfully Yours,

Lisa Pavelka
