That is, not until Skyward came about – and it was just as fantastic as his fantasy writing. However, for the most of the past decade, most readers have only known Sanderson as a bestselling fantasy author as aside from a few short stories, he had not really written a science fiction series. That piece of work received an honourable mention at the Writers of the Future contest in 2003, and after substantial re-editing in 2008 won first place in the UPC Science Fiction Award in Spain, and was published in the Oct/Nov 2008 issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction. It all started with a novella that he wrote and submitted to a magazine way back before he was even published. No surprises, Cytonic was a superb read filled with brilliantly creative worldbuilding and compelling characterisation that I’ve always expected, and received, from Sanderson. ![]() Published: 23rd November 2021 by Gollancz (UK) and Delacorte Press (US) ![]() ![]() ![]() After he becomes involved in an athletes' protest, Cassidy is suspended from his track team.

Once a Runner captures the essence of what it means to be a competitive runner to devote your entire existence to a single-minded pursuit of excellence. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In the Fun and Games part of the story, we, the author, are not as worried about plot and forward movement as much as we are wanting to deliver to our readers on that promise we made them. In a romance, this is where the fun, schmoopie courtship takes place. In an action movie, this is where the fast-paced thrills and chase scenes happen. In Miss Congeniality, the premise was “Ugly duckling FBI agent goes undercover in a Miss America pageant,” so for the Fun and Games, we get to see Sandra Bullock get a makeover, stumble around on heels, make music with water-glasses as her talent, and make a ton of goof-ups as she bumbles through the pageant with the other contestants. It’s the reason most people came to watch the movie, or decided to read the book, in the first place. ![]() This is when you get to experience all the things that were promised. Structure-wise, the promise of the premise comes during what Blake Snyder calls the “Fun and Games” part of the story. For a movie, you’ll find the promise on the movie poster, in the movie trailer, and through word-of-mouth recommendations. For a book, this promise comes on the cover, in the back cover copy, and through word-of-mouth recommendations. That’s where I first learned the term “promise of the premise.” Every book or movie makes a promise to potential readers and viewers. It’s no secret that I love screenwriter Blake Snyder’s book Save the Cat. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() By AUTHOR Jane Austen Eric Carle Lewis Carroll Roald Dahl Charles Dickens Sydney Hanson C.Indestructubles Little Golden Books Magic School Bus Magic Tree House Pete the Cat Step Into Reading Book The Hunger Games By POPULAR SERIES Chronicles of Narnia Curious Geoge Diary of a Wimpy Kid Fancy Nancy Harry Potter I Survived If You Give.By TOPIC Award Winning Books African American Children's Books Biography & Autobiography Books for Boys Books for Girls Diversity & Inclusion Foreign Language & Bilingual Books Hispanic & Latino Children's Books Holidays & Celebrations Holocaust Books Juvenile Nonfiction New York Times Bestsellers Professional Development Reference Books Test Prep.By GRADE Elementary School Middle School High Schoolīy AGE Board Books (newborn to age 3) Early Childhood Readers (ages 4-8) Children's Picture Books (ages 3-8) Juvenile Fiction (ages 8-12) Young Adult Fiction (ages 12+).BESTSELLERS in EDUCATION Shop All Education Books. ![]() |
