Oh this was such a gorgeous and a brilliant way of introducing some very new voices in the YA genre!

Foreshadow is an anthology of short stories - some very diverse genres ranging from contemporary to fantasy to science fiction.

All wonderfully written by some very talented new voices- loved the inclusion of #ownvoices stories and such wonderful openness of creativity- it gave me such new talent to look forward to!

But what I adored the most was the editorial commentary given by Emily XR Pan and Nova Ren Suma - on the different writing tools used by these talented new authors in their short stories!


Foreshadow is a brilliant adventure of not only introducing new talents, but also a way of giving advice to budding new authors by critiquing the the writing tools not only used in the short stories but also how it can be improved - this was such an informative aspect of the book, for me as a reader.

Because while I was always in awe of the sheer talent and effort that goes into writing a story; the actual details had me slack jawed and all the more appreciative of the authors.

And if as a reader this anthology was informative; I can’t even begin to imagine how appreciative and helpful this collection would be to a hopeful and budding writer!
