Today the nice folks announced the Table of Contents for Year’s Best Young Adult Speculative Fiction. Scroll down…no, farther than that…yep! There’s me!


I am particularly pleased because this story, “The Stuff We Don’t Do,” originally appeared in Nature, which is not one of your typical markets for YA, but I really do think that the story has teen appeal. Also it makes me happy that the editors, Julia Rios and Alisa Krasnostein, are casting a wide net when they’re thinking about the definition of YA and/or what might appeal to a teen audience. Teens are smart; they deserve YA editors who treat them that way.

Getting a piece of fiction published in Nature is a really nice thing to add to your resumé! Congratulations.

Oh, thanks. I had my first Nature story in 2007 and have sold them seven more since, so I'm probably a little more blase about it than I should be. But I do like entertaining nerds for a living and reaching slightly different nerds than I usually entertain, and both of the Nature editors I've worked with have been great.
