Publisher's Synopsis
This Anthology of Short Stories for YA was published to commemorate the 10th anniversary of CCA Writers' Conference, the only free writing conference for high school and middle school students in the US. Started by a high school student and run by the Canyon Crest Academy Creative Writing Club, the conference has hosted almost 2,000 high school students over the past 10 years. "This anthology is filled with works by young writers who, without a doubt, have been told at least once and possibly very often, that they can't do it, that publishing is too hard. Yes, it's hard. Do it anyway. For the teens who worked on this book you're holding - I stand up and cheer. The world needs more good writers. Be that. Write." Jonathan Maberry, 2021.With a foreword by Jonathan Maberry, NYT bestselling author and 5-time Bram Stoker award-winner, and co-edited by club president Sophie Camilleri and authors Nancy Holder, Kathy Krevat and Greg van Eekhout, this anthology features original stories and reprints by NYT bestselling and award-winning authors and 15 past conference attendees whose stories were chosen through a competitive process. "The Sky's The Limit" showcases the creative minds of writers and the endless possibilities of what we can create when we don't allow ourselves to be held back. There is no limit to what the mind can create or imagine through writing. Your only limiting factor is yourself. Join us as we delve into the imaginings of authors new and old in the realm of storytelling.
