Where the Wild Horses Are Preorder Campaign Official Rules
Preorder campaign through October 13, 2026 promotion
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.
1. Sponsor and Eligibility
The Where the Wild Horses Are Preorder Campaign (the “Campaign”) is sponsored and administered by Amy Alznauer (“Sponsor”). Questions may be sent to amyalz@gmail.com.
The Campaign is open to legal residents of the fifty United States and the District of Columbia who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry. The Campaign is void where prohibited or restricted by law.
The Campaign is not sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Northwestern University, Booked, Holiday House, Neal Porter Books, Penguin Random House, Google, Instagram, or Facebook. Booked’s signed-copy offer and any additional prizes offered by Booked are administered separately by Booked and are not part of this Campaign.
2. Preorder Campaign Period
The preorder campaign begins at 12:00 a.m. Central Time on September 12, 2026, and ends at 11:59 p.m. Central Time on October 13, 2026. Online entries must be submitted by the closing time. Mail-in entries must be postmarked by October 13, 2026, and received by October 20, 2026.
3. How to Enter
An entrant may receive up to five entries in total, regardless of entry method.
Order Entry
Complete the official online entry form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc15RJbCQi4me-XbsCTXMPx4GBLpv47lWu5NnMMhWHJ1T_o6A/viewform during the Campaign Period and provide the requested contact information, bookseller, and valid order-confirmation number for Where the Wild Horses Are by Amy Alznauer. Orders placed before September 12 may qualify as long as the entry form is submitted during the Campaign Period. Orders placed on or before October 13, 2026, may qualify.
Each qualifying copy ordered constitutes one entry, up to five entries per person. If copies were ordered through more than one bookseller, provide each applicable order-confirmation number on the form.
Mail-In Entry—No Purchase Necessary
To enter without ordering a book, hand-print your full name, email address, mailing address, and the words “Where the Wild Horses Are Campaign” on a postcard and mail it to:
Mark Alznauer
Northwestern University Department of Philosophy
Kresge 3512, 1880 Campus Drive
Evanston, IL 60208
Each postcard constitutes one entry. An entrant may mail up to five separate postcards. Each postcard must be mailed separately, postmarked by October 13, 2026, and received by October 20, 2026. Mail-in entries have the same odds of winning as order entries. No entrant may receive more than five total entries by combining entry methods. The Sponsor is not responsible for mail that is late, lost, misdirected, incomplete, illegible, damaged, postage-due, or not received.
4. Preorder Bonus
Entrants who submit a qualifying order through the online entry form will receive one digital Where the Wild Horses Are Backstory Zine, regardless of the number of copies ordered. The Backstory Zine is a guaranteed order bonus, not a prize in the random drawing. Mail-in entrants are eligible for the random drawing but do not receive the order-exclusive Backstory Zine.
5. Prizes
Ten prizes will be awarded to ten separate winners:
· One Mustang Meg Photograph: One mustang photograph signed by Mustang Meg.
· Four DJB Horse-Art Sticker Sets: Each winner will receive one custom horse-art sticker featuring Reverie (Rev) and one featuring B Mine (B), created by Darynn Bednarczyk of DJB.
· Five Personalized Mustang-Tag Necklaces: Each winner will receive one metal mustang tag bearing a mustang number selected by the winner and supplied with a chain or cord. The selected number will be requested after the winner has been notified and confirmed.
Limit one prize per person. Prize categories will be assigned at random. Prizes have no cash alternative. If an advertised prize becomes unavailable, the Sponsor may substitute a prize of comparable or greater value. The Sponsor will pay standard shipping within the fifty United States and the District of Columbia.
6. Winner Selection and Notification
On or about October 21, 2026, the Sponsor will randomly select ten potential winners from all eligible entries received. The odds of winning depend on the total number of eligible entries received.
Potential winners will be notified by email and must respond within seven calendar days. A potential winner who does not respond, is found ineligible, or cannot accept the prize may be replaced by another potential winner selected at random from the remaining eligible entries. An adult who enters for the benefit of a child remains the official entrant and winner.
7. Privacy and General Conditions
Entry information will be used to administer the Campaign, verify entries, deliver the Backstory Zine, contact potential winners, and fulfill prizes. Entering does not automatically subscribe anyone to Amy Alznauer’s newsletter. Entrants will receive the newsletter only if they separately select the optional newsletter sign-up choice and may unsubscribe at any time.
By entering, entrants agree to these Official Rules and accept the Sponsor’s decisions regarding the Campaign as final. The Sponsor may disqualify an entrant who submits false information, tampers with the entry process, or attempts to exceed the five-entry limit. If circumstances beyond the Sponsor’s reasonable control prevent the Campaign from operating as intended, the Sponsor may modify, suspend, or terminate it and, if feasible, award the prizes fairly from among eligible entries already received.
