Giveaway started: 1 November 2016

What's this about?

Suddenly Single, written by financial adviser Jo Read, is aimed at those who have become suddenly single due to divorce or bereavement.

The future may look uncertain following a divorce or bereavement for those who have built a life with someone else, as they struggle to accept and decide what’s next.

The book contains financial and emotional guidance for anyone in this situation.

We have 50 copies of Suddenly Single to give away. It's available to buy from the Suddenly Single website, Filament Publishing or Amazon for £9.99 plus P&P (typically £3.50ish).

What to do

To try for a copy just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

"What's next?"

To do this you need to join the forum. If you haven't already, when you click 'reply' you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course.

APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages next week.

There are 50 books up for grabs and 150 names will be picked. This is because sadly not everyone gets back in touch with us, so doing it this way speeds things up. Be sure to get in touch quickly!

Also, please DON'T email in, as your name won't be counted, or include your contact details in this thread, as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum. Your post may be deleted if this is the case.

This giveaway appears in our weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 4pm on Friday 11 November, so please get your posts in before then.

The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.

About the book and author

"Would it surprise you to know a third of women live alone by the time they reach retirement age?

Do you know someone who has become suddenly single due to divorce or bereavement?

The future may look uncertain following a divorce or bereavement for those who have built a life with someone else, as they struggle to accept and decide what’s next.

This book meets a growing demand for financial and emotional guidance. It follows a three-stage process: TAKE STOCK, TAKE CHARGE, TAKE OFF.

This book follows the journey of two women, Mary and Gwen. They represent many suddenly singles: intelligent, hardworking women who had ﬂourishing careers. Their careers had taken a back seat so they could raise a family. They'd enjoyed comfortable lifestyles managing their homes, while their husbands had often taken an active role in managing the family ﬁnances.

But their worlds changed, and they were forced to re-evaluate everything.

This book is for you if you are suddenly single, looking for greater fulfilment and want to take control of your life.

Author Jo Read is a Fellow of the Chartered Insurance Institute and suddenly single. She claims she is uniquely qualified to share her approach with others."

How will the winners be chosen?

A total of 150 people will be picked at random (we have a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent out to each of the winning users requesting their username (case sensitive), full name and address details (there'll be an email to send this information to as we don't want it done via private message).

The FIRST 50 people to get back to us will get a book.

When will I get it?

It will be sent out once all 50 winners have provided their names and addresses, so it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and the actual receipt.
