As pointed out in email: " There are girl cooties on my space ship–on women writing hard SF"

I really dislike playing the gender card, but when someone chucks a whole packet of cards in my face, it becomes harder to ignore.

OK, something happened and I’ll be really brief about it. The discussion went like this:

Me: I heard you are interested in hard SF
Publisher: yeah, we are, but… *looks uneasy*
Me: … if it’s written by a woman?
Publisher: yeah, I hate to say that, but yeah

How would you nominate it? Single update? Everything so far? Everything from the appropriate year? Invent titles for the larger arcs?
