Brenda Novak's Online Auction for Diabetes Research kicks off tomorrow, May 1st!  If you're not familiar with it, it's a terrific auction that benefits diabetes research and gives writers and readers some tremendous opportunities, as well.
 
This auction brings together some of the biggest names in publishing, from bestselling authors to agents and editors. Some of the things you can bid on: 
 
- Guaranteed AGENT EVALUATIONS & Critiques
- Guaranteed EDITOR READS & Critiques
- Lunches with editors, agents and bestselling authors
- Trips and stays donated by Bestselling authors, including some in THEIR guest houses!
- Autographed books galore
- Jewelry, handmade items, coach handbags, celebrity autographed items
- Gift baskets of all kinds
- Web design, advertising and other promotional packages
- Kindles and Sony eReaders
 
For readers and fans of all genres, there are gifts baskets, lunches with your favorite authors, autographed books and ARCs, and more.
 
You can bid just like ebay, through the month of May.  And if you're worried the prices will be out of your range, the auction also has raffle items. You purchase a raffle ticket for $20 and the winner is drawn at random. 
 
And this year, Brenda is doing something even more fun.  She'll have "Buy for a Buck" items scattered through out the auction -- items that are "Buy It Now" for ONE dollar -- these include agents reads and more really great items, you just have to look to find them throughout the auction.
 
I highly suggest checking it out if you haven't.  There are tons of opportunities to make connections and network to your heart's content by winning any of these items.
