You: The Story: A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory
The nonfiction debut by #1 New York Times bestselling and Carnegie Medal-winning author Ruta Sepetys. Perfect for fans of Burn After Writing and Bird by Bird. Life is story in motion. Each day, you add to your story, revise it, and view it from a different angle. You erase things. Tear pages out. And sometimes, in hindsight, wish you could put them back. A day is a story. A year is a story. A life is a story. You are a story. Ruta Sepetys is known for creating vivid characters and harrowing plots. After five award-winning works of historical fiction and countless hours of meticulous research, she can affirm that the secret to strong writing is embedded within your life experience. You: The Story is a powerful how-to book for aspiring writers that encourages you to look inward and excavate your own memories in order to discover the authentic voices and compelling details that are waiting to be put on the page. Masterfully weaving in humorous and heartfelt stories from her own life that illustrate an aspect of the craft of writing (such as plot, character development, or dialogue), Sepetys then inspires readers with a series of writing prompts and exercises. Perfect for fans of Burn After Writing and Bird by Bird, You: The Story awakens the emerging writer and reveals that with some reflection, curiosity, and courage, you have a story to tell.

This audiobook edition includes: - The full-length, stand-alone Young Adult suspense novel - A bonus scene with one of the Gemini Thief survivors - A Q&A between Court Stevens and Ruta Sepetys, New York Times bestselling author of Fountains of Silence The Gemini Thief could be anyone. Your father, your mother, your best friend's crazy uncle. Some country music star's deranged sister. Anyone. Someone is stealing Tennessee's boys. REPORT SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR. The Gemini Thief is a serial kidnapper, who takes three boys and holds them captive from June 1st to June 30th of the following year. The June Boys endure thirteen months of being stolen, hidden, observed, and fed before they are released, unharmed, by their masked captor. The Thief is a pro, having eluded authorities for nearly a decade and taken at least twelve boys. Now Thea Delacroix has reason to believe the Gemini Thief has taken a thirteenth victim: her cousin, Aulus McClaghen. But the game changes when one of the kidnapped boys turns up dead. Together with her boyfriend Nick and her best friends, Thea is determined to find the Gemini Thief and the remaining boys before it's too late. Only she's beginning to wonder something sinister, something repulsive, something unbelievable, and yet, not impossible: What if her father is the Gemini Thief? Praise for The June Boys: "Not only a terrifying story of the missing, but a heartbreaking, hopeful journey through the darkness." -MEGAN MIRANDA, New York Times bestselling author of The Last House Guest "Stunning twists and turns. Hang on tight." -RUTA SEPETYS, international bestselling author "A gripping suspense that hooked me from the first sentence." -COLLEEN COBLE, USA TODAY bestselling author of One Little Lie and the Lavender Tides series "I was hooked and couldn't stop reading." -CATHERINE BOCK, book buyer for Parnassus Books
