First of all, let me thank Netgalley and Harlequin Teen for the chance to read and review this book: Shadow of the Fox by Julie Kagawa “Every aspiring writer has heard of the workshop,” he says. Markley applied to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop after several unhappy years “scraping by” as a freelancer. Throughout his youth, he filled thick notebooks with scribbled stories-and he also wrote for his school newspaper while completing an undergraduate degree at Miami University of Ohio. The Mount Vernon, Ohio, native has spent a lifetime pursuing such literary ambiguities. “If I could explain how these characters come to life in my head, I would bottle and sell it,” says Markley, who also served as a story editor for the series. Markley and his fellow screenwriter, Ben Philippe, successfully pitched the idea of writing from a deaf person’s perspective, taking a deep dive into Theo’s personality and point of view. Though Markley (15MFA) didn’t create Theo, he did co-write “The Boy From 6B,” the show’s groundbreaking episode from season one that puts Theo center stage and doesn’t include a single line of audible dialogue. |
