<p>As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.leslie-simon.com/and-everything-is-going-to-the-beat/" target="_blank">yesterday&#8217;s post</a>, I&#8217;ve just started work on my third book. [<em>Does the running-man in place!</em>] I don&#8217;t want want to give <em>too</em> much away but I will say that it&#8217;s a literary celebration of all the fangirls, fashionistas, bookworms, indie chicks, craft mavens and other female misfits out there. (Can I get a &#8220;what what?&#8221;) That said, I&#8217;d like to try something I&#8217;ve never done before in my book-writing pursuits: I want to include YOUR input!!</p>
<p>Specifically, I&#8217;m looking to put together a guild of girls who are open to having their brains picked throughout this process and providing valuable pearls of wisdom regarding various areas of geek expertise.</p>
<p>If you are: a.) a girl who&#8217;s at least 15 years old, 2.) a total pop-culture geek, and 3.) willing to receive semi-regular email questionnaires, then I&#8217;d love you to join the guild!</p>
<p>For geek goddesses interested in getting involved, please email me at <a href="mailto:geek.girls.unite@gmail.com">geek.girls.unite@gmail.com</a> and include the following information, which will only be seen by my own piercing blue/gray eyes:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Full name</strong><br />
<strong>Age</strong><br />
<strong>Contact information</strong> (city, state, zip, Twitter)<br />
<strong>Area of geek expertise</strong> (i.e. comedy, music, fangirl, film, literature, domesticity, fashion, etc.)<br />
<strong>Why do you consider yourself a geek?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to think of this as a sorority of sorts—minus the weird paddles and horrible composites. And so, in keeping with the tradition of g(r)eek like, I&#8217;d love to offer this opportunity to as many lovely ladies as possible. Are you and your bestie planning on being Tegan &amp; Sara for Halloween next year? Does your frenemy get on your nerves because she can&#8217;t stop talking about <em>Twilight</em>? Has your cousin already reserved her tickets to Comic-Con?</p>
<p>If so, then I&#8217;d be honored to have you and your peeps join ΓΓΓ (that&#8217;s &#8220;Gamma Gamma Gamma&#8221; for &#8220;Geek Girls Guild&#8221;)! Spread the word by retexting, retweeting and reposting because the more girl geeks that decide to participate, the better!</p>
<p>Plus, don&#8217;t hesitate to <a href="mailto:geek.girls.unite@gmail.com">email me</a> with questions! Together, geek girls shall inherit the Earth!!</p>
