morosophe Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) It looked like Writing Tales had an annual sale every year around the end of April/beginning of May. Despite the fact that I've been frantically checking for the last week, there's been no trace of it. Did I miss the sale, or did they just not have it this year? I am extremely interested, since I think this is what I want to do with my son for third grade. Thanks! Edited May 4, 2012 by morosophe Whoops, I messed up the title. Can we all just pretend that says "Writing Tales' annual sale," and leave it at that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I didn't know they had an annual sale. (I see they had one in 2011.) I need a student book for WT1 for the fall, but just figured I'd order it whenever ... If there is a sale, I'd love to know about it. :bigear: Edited May 20, 2012 by RootAnn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matilda Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Lulu has sales. (That is the site you buy the books from.) Are you on their mailing list? I just bough a Writing Tales book for 20% off last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The author of Writing Tales has offered a 20% off sale plus free shipping from 5/31 until 6/30. This sale won't be posted on the website (she's having long-term trouble with the webmaster, I guess) -- so you have to place your order through email. Here are the details. Sale runs from 5/31/12 to 6/30/12. You MUST email your order to her: info@olsenbooks.com Indicate what you need to order & include the snailmail address you want the order sent to. (Make sure you ask for the sale price!!) She will email you back with what your total is & you can either paypal her or call her with a credit card number. Viola! 20% off + free Media Mail shipping. N.B. I receive nothing extra from passing this along. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunnyDays Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Thanks, RootAnn. I have been trying to decide if I want this. I guess I'll have to decide before June 30th!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugaboo Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I just reduced my price on the For Sale Board for WT1. It really is in good condition. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 SunnyDays - Let me know what you are looking for / what type of kid you have & I'll tell you if I think WT meets that. It is basically CW Aesop A (WT1) & B (WT2) but much more open & go & it includes some fun activities, too (optional). I'm using it (finishing up WT2) with my previously extremely writing-phobic oldest. She's SO MUCH better now. She's no longer allergic to the pencil. She's not fond of writing, but she is capable of rewriting a model in her own words without shortening it to the barest of possible narratives because she doesn't want to write it all down. :001_huh: I'll be using WT1 with my writes-for-fun dd#2 in the fall.

morosophe Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Wow, thanks, RootAnn, for the information! Too bad I've been having trouble with my forum account and so didn't find this until now. I went ahead and bought it full price a month or so ago. I'm really looking forward to using this, since it seems really neat. Maybe I can hit the sale next year, for the second book, though. Here's hoping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
