Created by New York Times bestselling authors Emily X. R. Pan and Nova Ren Suma, Foreshadow is so much more than a short story collection. A trove of unforgettable fiction makes up the beating heart of this book, and the accompanying essays offer an ode to young adult literature, as well as practical advice to writers.
Featured in print for the first time, the thirteen stories anthologized here were originally released via the buzzed-about online platform Foreshadow. Ranging from contemporary romance to mind-bending fantasy, the Foreshadow stories showcase underrepresented voices and highlight the beauty and power of YA fiction. Each piece is selected and introduced by a YA luminary, among them Gayle Forman, Laurie Halse Anderson, Jason Reynolds, and Sabaa Tahir.
What makes these memorable stories tick? What sparked them? How do authors build a world or refine a voice or weave in that deliciously creepy atmosphere to bring their writing to the next level? Addressing these questions and many more are essays and discussions on craft and process by Nova Ren Suma and Emily X. R. Pan.
This unique compilation reveals and celebrates the magic of reading and writing for young adults.
What an amazing collection. These stories cover all genres and feature several well known authors as well as some new ones.
Every story I read, I thought 'Ok, this one is my favourite, actually.' They're all so different, I can't even really compare them to each other. The analysis at the end of each one made me think about them much more deeply than normal (and I picked up some great tips for fanfic!) and I liked the challenges scattered here and there as well.
This is a great way to try out some genres you normally might not, and it's added a few authors to my watchlist. Perfect!
