Writers of the Future Volume 42

What a sweet October treat! 🧡

So thrilled to be featured in the Voices to Know October 2026 newsletter, alongside such wonderful company.

And what a joy it is to see our Writers of the Future, Volume 42 audiobook and cast included for the lovely review we received from Library Journal! Btw, if you haven’t listened yet 😉 it’s available wherever you get your audiobooks. 📚🎧

Such exciting news to learn that Voices to Know has expanded their coverage to Library Journal, The Guardian, and Booklist, alongside Kirkus audiobook reviews. This couldn’t be sweeter for our audiobook community, as it means more voices and stories will get heard, highlighted, and recognized.

Getting to share this passion for storytelling with this beautiful cast and community is a real gift and one I’m so grateful for.

Thank you Voices to Know for celebrating human voices and shining a light on the work we get to do.

Congratulations to all!

Happy October! 🧡

My heart is still so full from attending the 42nd Annual Writers & Illustrators of the Future Awards Gala last Thursday evening. To be in a room surrounded by so much love, joy and kindness, celebrating this year’s award-winning writers and illustrators from all over the world, was truly special.

As one of the audiobook narrators for Writers of the Future, Volume 42, published by Galaxy Press (releases April 28, 2026), I was so honored to be included in this magical night. A highlight of the evening was meeting the writers whose stories I had the joy of bringing to life: Canary by Brenda Posey and illustrated by Roddy Taylor; and A Girl and Her Dragon: A Life in Four Parts by Joseph Sidari and illustrated by Josie Moore, which I co-narrated with Stefan Rudniki. Reconnecting with dear audiobook colleagues and celebrating with friends both old and new made the evening even more meaningful.

Here’s a glimpse into this unforgettable night!

Thank you to the amazing team at Author Services, Inc. and to L. Ron Hubbard for founding these life-changing contests. Here’s to dragons, distant worlds, and the power of imagination! ✨
