Ok I love detective stories. I particularly like those that feature women scientists like forensic geologist Em Hansen written by real geologist "Sarah Andrews" . So imagine my pleasure at finding out that to get more girls and young women interested in science, "The Feminist Press" and "the National Science Foundation" have teamed up to publish scientific detective stories based on the life, research, and discoveries of real women scientists. So come on all you budding authors, we all need more detective stories about cool women in science. You have until October 31, 2006 to submit a proposal.

I couldn't find how to submit on the Feminist Press website so here is the information you need:

"Electronic submission (word doc) to fhowe@gc.cuny.edu with the subject line "Girls and Science." Please include in the body of your email your address, phone number, email address and a short bio. Please also attach a brief sample of your writing (about five pages), and a resume that includes information about publications."
