Hurry for your chance at immortality

Touch immortality and go down in literary history! Several critically
acclaimed, bestselling authors are auctioning off character names to
benefit Kids Need to Read, a national nonprofit foundation that
promotes childhood literacy and addresses the crisis in library
funding that currently exists in the United States.

If you are one of the winning bidders, you will have a character named after you in an upcoming young adult novel by one of the following participating authors: Robin Brande (Evolution, Me & Other Freaks of Nature; Doggirl), Becca Fitzpatrick (Hush, Hush; Crescendo), Shannon Hale (Princess Academy, The Goose Girl), Brandon Mull (Fablehaven, Beyonders), Janette Rallison (My Unfair Godmother, Slayers), and Kiersten White (Paranormalcy, Supernaturally).

Should you win one of the auctions, the author agrees to use your name in an upcoming book. The character that is bestowed with your name may be a secondary or minor character, may have villainous tendencies, or may die at some point in the book or series. The character may have many or very few of your actual characteristics. The author is simply using the name for a character, not transporting your personality into the book. Also, editors have veto power over any name. (So if your name is Ima Dope, you might be out of luck.) If an editor vetoes
your name, you will be entitled to a full refund from Kids Need to
Read.

The Kids Need to Read Literary Immortality Auction will take place at our eBay store began Saturday, October 29, 2011 and will end Thursday, November 3, 2011. There will be a separate auction for each author. All auctions will run concurrently. Bidders will be able to bid on multiple auctions.
