Middlemarch Madness III: Last Day to Nominate!



Today is you last chance to nominate your favorite lady characters for the Middlemarch Madness III bracket. 

Logo for Persephone Magazine's Middlemarch MadnessThis time you can nominate for any category, as long as you mark it Adult Literary Fiction, Adult Sci-fi/Fantasy/Dystopia, YA Literary Fiction, and YA Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Dystopia.  Next week we’ll narrow down any multi-character nominations from a single author, then we’ll start filling the bracket.

One last time with the nomination guidelines:

  • Granny Weatherwax, Jo March, Arya Stark, Elizabeth Bennett, Hermione Granger, Minerva McGonagall, Scout Finch, and Anne Shirley are all ineligible, because they were previously in a final four.
  • Only one character per author will make it all the way to the bracket.
  • Make sure you mark your nominations with the category they belong in.

See you Monday with the first runoff author races.

      To clarify, she’d not in the the first book, which is the one named “Wool” and doesn’t become the heroine until the 3rd. So I nominated Juliette Nichols from the Wool series.
