Scott Westerfeld, one of our favorite YA authors, has just announced a new YA series to come out starting this September. Westerfeld previously penned the Uglies and Leviathan series. In his new series, Afterworlds we follow “a young writer, Darcy Patel, [who] arrives in New York City with a major contract to write her teen debut. She’s taken in by other seasoned and fledgling writers to help her navigate the world of publishing and writing. Told in alternating chapters is Darcy’s actual novel, also called Afterworlds, a suspenseful thriller about a teen who slips into the afterworld to survive a terrorist attack. The afterworld is a place between the living and dead, where Darcy’s protagonist takes on the responsibility of guiding souls and unsettled ghosts.” It sounds like it has just the mix of meta and genre that we love to see. As we’re big fans of Scott’s already, we have our calendars marked and will be dusting off our Uglies books in the meantime!
