@commaficionado Will there be an audio book version available in US soon?

@KateMilford Maisie!

Learned last night that high schoolers no longer use their hallway lockers. Like, at all.
Which may be the most important development in YA fiction since invention of the cell phone.

@eva_langston This story has an incredible twist!

[Meagan Boyd @meagankboyd]

@julieartz @itsjennylbrown It's medium creepy...? And definitely surrealist :)

[Meagan Boyd @meagankboyd]

#pitchwars #askmentor Hi Mentors! So many of you are interested in all sub-genres of fantasy, but I am wondering about particular interest in dark, surrealist fantasy (contemporary backdrop). Think Ocean at the End of the Lane or Pan's Labyrinth (but MG, so less terrifying)

[Meagan Boyd @meagankboyd]

@julieartz Thanks!

[Meagan Boyd @meagankboyd]

Yes! There’s more than one way to tell a story!

[Meagan Boyd @meagankboyd]

@SarahAllenBooks I think it's surrealism. And I want to write it too 😃

KNIVES OUT + ILLUMINAE 17yo janitor Sparky knows the man she found in the pool didn't die by accident, despite what the captain says. If he had, why would the ship AI be hiding footage and info? And why would six people who hate him all be on board together? #PitMad #sf #YA

@eva_langston The hidden twist in this manuscript is 😮

Rose Fashion Week is the most exclusive event of the year—it takes place inside a wormhole, so no footage gets out till after. But when a man is found dead in the ship pool and security is sabotaged, no help is getting in either. 17yo Sparky's on the case. #SF #YA #PITMAD

When Sparky's micromanaging AI supervisor says to clean up organic material in the ship's pool, she finds a body. Her boss calls it an accident, but things don't add up. Sparky has to investigate without her boss finding out--and the AI has eyes everywhere. #pitmad #ya #sf

ILLUMINAE + ONE OF US IS LYING A con man is dead, and six victims are on board the luxury spaceship Edmonton Rose. With the security force sabotaged and the AI glitching, teen Sparky La Sal must find the killer before she loses her job, her future, or her life. #pitmad #ya #sf

SAVVY + THE STRANGERS Charlotte often sees a portal to a parallel Earth, where everyone has a superpower that they can only use when they feel a specific emotion. Her double there doesn’t have one. Charlotte does. Was she born there? Which family is her true family? #mg #SFFPit

When 16-year-old Fran's father dies, she inherits his steam engine and an enchanted coat with bottomless pockets. But when the dragon egg she's supposed to smuggle across the country hatches, she becomes the target of a malicious woman and her own dark dragon.

#SFFpit 10yo Ruby wants to be an entomologist, so when she finds the weirdest bug ever she captures it for further study. It escapes right before Men in Black suits come looking for it, & soon after things (and people) from the neighborhood start to go missing. #POC #OWN #MG #SF
