Now is your chance to join the likes of Alaska Young, Hazel Grace Lancaster and Margo Roth Spiegelman. For the next week, John Green is holding a charity auction with donations going to the PEN/Faulkner Foundation. The prize? An opportunity to have a character in a future John Green novel named after you (or someone you love). While Green says he can’t promise what character you will be, you will make an appearance in one of his upcoming YA books. You’ll also receive an autographed copy when the novel is published.
As of right now, there are only four bids, and the current bid is $1,750. Feeling generous? Support the nonprofit literary organization PEN/Faulkner and help put more writers in schools. After all, a chance like this doesn’t come along very often. You’ll be helping out a good cause, not to mention the infinite bragging rights. What are you waiting for?
