You read that right! The time is approaching for the COVER REVEAL! 🎊🎊🎊
The Heard in Silence anthology is a collection of short stories each centering on a deaf character.
Its cover reveal takes place on August 7th, but before then, we’d like to invite you to sign up to share it with us!
(Psst! My story Invisible is a part of HiS, and because I’m chronically sneak-peek-happy, here’s the first sentence: When will the concert start? 🎻 🎼)
About Heard in Silence
Some voices can only be heard in silence.
Thirteen young authors invite you to journey deep into a silent world so often overlooked. Within these pages, you’ll find bittersweet contemporary YA, spellbinding fantasy, tender romance, and so much more, each centering on a deaf character.
Curated by author Kaytlin Phillips, this short story collection offers you a peek inside a life without sound, a fresh perspective on a world you may never have experienced. For a moment in time, hush the noise around you and absorb the quiet heartbeat of these diverse stories. Let yourself be swept away in these characters’ struggles, heartaches, and victories.
Heard in Silence features work from Saraina Whitney, Alison Stadt, K.R. Mattson, Marisa Phillips, Kylie Beevers, Riley G. Stanch, Jaiden Phillips, Lorelei Angelino, Lillian Keith, Grace A. Johnson, Kaytlin Phillips, Autumn Nicole, and Wilder W.! This unique, richly imagined short story collection will stretch your mind and hold your heart captive.
You can add it to your Goodreads shelf here!

Saraina Whitney 
For the first three questions, my answer is no. As for the last one, IDK,’cause I’m not in summer yet.
