This company is contacting genre authors and inviting them to participate in a multi-author giveaway in order to receive subscribers to an author's email newsletter.
The fee is $60.00 per author.
Copies of your book
You and other authors who write your genre participate together.
One winner receives a Kindle and copies of each participating author's book(s)
A runner up receives a copy of each author's participating book(s)
In return authors receive 200-800 emails addresses/ subscribers to their email newsletter.

I'm not sure this is really an effective method.
A lot seems to depend on the authors in question marketing for each other, and that's always a little iffy.
How many authors have newsletters?
How many newsletter readers buy books?
How does this compare to, say, giveaways on LibraryThing or GoodReads?
