YOU GET ALL TEH STUFFS! Also, I'll write an additional short story (2500 - 5000 words) set in the world of Wollstonecraft and presenting a character you can name (it can be you or a friend) – I maintain discretion so the name fits into the ambience of the story. The short story will be made available to the whole world for free so everyone can read about your character's adventures. Oh yes, fame and immortality, I gives it to you.

Creator Gordon McAlpin on April 21, 2012
I say this as a mixed race writer: the clincher for me here was that the Wollstonecraft girls meet real people that they actually knew. If that means we don't get a diverse cast, so be it. But for me, at least, artificial diversity would undermine the very thing I love most about this concept.
Hopefully there are some real minorities from this era that they might be able to meet (even with some artistic license needed to push them into the protagonists' lives) but please let them be real people, too.

I concur.

I agree. Do I hear second series? :D

Hi Jordan,
I am happy to see that this project is gaining such support. Have you considered adding young girls of color to the series. Your concept is so empowering and I can imagine that including other young heroines that are African American, Asian, Latina or Native American will certainly broaden the appeal and impact of this great work.
