“As Icarus had risen, so he had fallen.” The social setting of Monsters Born and Made is inspired by the caste system of South Asia, but I also borrowed classical mythology motif of Icarus around which to build this story. I love taking mythological archetypes and molding them for the story on hand for many reasons but especially because it comes with a built-in spine of the character arc.

••• Monsters Born and Made is a Hunger Games meets Scorpio Races dystopian fantasy novel about a 16yo girl who hunts and captures vicious sea beasts to train them for an elite chariot race tournament. You can get it anywhere books are sold: Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, Book Depository + more.

Monsters Born and Made, my debut dystopian fantasy, is out today everywhere. This is the book of my angry, frustrated, traumatized soul. I love it to pieces, and I hope it finds its way in the world.

there’s a long, long story behind this and maybe i’ll write about it? someday? the stuff about how the publisher decided on crowdsourcing the title, but also all that about querying, pitch wars, revising, crying and persevering, and one yes etc etc.

[tanviberwah]

first of all, i cannot believe i get to write the following words: my debut book is coming out from sourcebooks fire next year!!!!!!!

i have waited a decade to be at this point, persevering through a lot, writing and discarding so many words i don’t know if i could ever count them. but here is everything i worked for. a book!!!! 

my lovely publishers are doing something super cool to kick off the whole process and that is asking readers to choose a title. you can find a description (and read an excerpt!! the whole first chapter which i love!!) HERE.

Amazon Studios Picks Up Lauren Oliver’s YA Drama ‘Panic’ To Series

Amazon Studios has picked up to series YA drama pilot Panic, from writer Lauren Oliver based on her best-selling book and producers Joe Roth and Jeff Kirschenbaum. Ramping up a YA slate was one of …

“Written and created by Oliver based on her novel published by HarperCollins, Panic centers on a small town in America where every year the graduating seniors engage in a competition they believe is their one chance to escape. But this year, the rules have changed — and they must decide how much they are willing to risk in order to get out.

“Panic tells a story aimed at young adults, but anyone would be pulled in by the compelling characters and high-stakes drama brought to life by Lauren Oliver,” Salke said. “She is a rare talent in her ability to capture this generation so authentically.”

Panic stars Olivia Welch as Heather, Mike Faist as Dodge, Ray Nicholson as Ra, and Will Chase as Sheriff Kean.”

this is so exciting!

books read in 2017: before i fall by lauren oliver

Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there’s a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.

“And how she looked at me like I could save her from everything bad in the world. This was my secret: she was the one who saved me.”

Alex, Lauren Oliver

don’t read the alex short story in the requiem sneak peek at HarperTeen it’s only a way of systematically torturing yourself until you’re crying in a corner
