Chick List

Call for help: if you happen to think of it, please send me an email at dust@bears-cave.com or leave me a comment.

I’m looking for writers to recommend to chicks. They can be male or female, of any genre, of any particular quality, but must have good female characters that chicks can relate to. Good female villains a bonus.

I want to start a list of such writers, specific works if necessary, and sorted by genre (sci fi/fantasy, mystery/crime, horror, literature, and fiction, fiction being the catchall). Why? Um, lots of the women I know read books. And they’re always on the lookout for recommendations. And they’re always more hyped when I give them books with good female characters than when I recommend somebody like Greg Egan.
