We're kicking off our 10th Anniversary Season with bestselling author
& screenwriter Siobhan Vivian with her new novel WE ARE THE WILDCATS
and Ashley Woodfolk with her novel WHEN YOU WERE EVERYTHING! Siobhan
and Ashley will talk with Oblong Books' co-owner and YA Society
co-founder Suzanna Hermans! We Are the Wildcats is a deeply
suspenseful novel that unspools over twenty-four hours through six
diverse perspectives. In this testament to the strength and resilience
of modern teenage girls, a toxic coach finds himself outplayed by the
high school girls on his team who will have readers cheering. Siobhan
Vivian is the author of Stay Sweet, The Last Boy and Girl in the
World, The List, Not That Kind of Girl, Same Difference, A Little
Friendly Advice, and the Burn for Burn trilogy, cowritten with Jenny
Han. A former editor for Alloy Entertainment, she received her MFA in
creative writing at the New School. She teaches creative writing at
the University of Pittsburgh. For fans of Nina LaCour's We Are Okay
and Adam Silvera's History Is All You Left Me, When You Were
Everything is a heartfelt and ultimately uplifting novel follows one
sixteen-year-old girl's friend breakup through two concurrent
timelines--ultimately proving that even endings can lead to new
beginnings. Ashley Woodfolk has loved reading and writing for as long
as she can remember. She graduated from Rutgers University with a
bachelor of arts in English and currently works in children's book
publishing. She writes from a sunny Brooklyn apartment, where she
lives with her cute husband and her cuter dog. She is also the author
