Open Mic Readers:

Matt Sack is a writer and longtime #YeahYouWrite fan based in Greenwich Village. Superpower? To be able to eat anything he wants without gaining weight.

Helly Schtevie is a writer with a humorous bent, who pays the bills writing humorless PR content. Superpower? She thinks she needs to start with the regular power of parallel parking before graduating to superpowers.

Amy Grech has published over 100 crime fiction and horror stories in various genre anthologies; Alien Buddah Press published her poetry chapbook A Shadow of Your Former Self. (crimsonscreams.com) Her superpower would be the ability to stop time—there are never enough hours in the day!

Alanna Schubach is the author of the novel The Nobodies. Superpower? Teleportation.

#YeahYouWrite’s verdict? We’ll take them all except the parallel parking one. We are already badass parallel parkers.

Rapid-Fire Q&A

Each of our featured novels contain superpowers: P. Djèlí Clark’s A Master of Djinn is filled of magic and magical beings; Austin Grossman’s Fight Me has superheroes and supervillains and various metahumans; Abraham Chang’s 888 Love and the Divine Power of Numbers references the power of numbers and the power of love, and Carol LaHines’s The Vixen Amber Halloway is all in with the power of revenge. And so, we asked the authors what their superpowers would be. Soon, you will be able to read them here.
