So there you go – six YA sci-fi novels (including the bonus Mindwalker) to look out for, all of which sound fantastic. You can find out more at Kate’s website, and follow her on Twitter and on Instagram. She currently lives in London with her long-suffering boyfriend and their thoroughly indifferent cat. Kate’s passion for writing YA novels is fuelled by a love of banter, snark, and all things Marvel. But it wasn’t long before she realised that telling other people’s stories wasn’t quite enough she wanted to tell her own.
After graduating from the University of the Arts London, she turned her obsession with storytelling and the visual arts into a full-time job as a video editor. Kate Dylan grew up in a sleepy English town where there was little to do but read, watch movies, and bake.
Here are a few of my personal favourites from the last couple of years. The good news is, year on year, we’re starting to see more books hitting shelves, and while the genre remains woefully underserved, there have been some truly outstanding titles published of late. If you’re a fan of YA sci-fi, I bet you sometimes get frustrated at how few titles make it out into the world compared to YA fantasy – as a YA sci-fi author (and avid sci-fi fan) I know I often do! I read Mindwalker earlier in 2022 and it’s one of my favourite books of the year, a brilliant example of how YA science fiction can be both tremendous fun and incredibly powerful, so when Kate offered to talk a bit about some of the other YA sci-fi novels that have been released recently I thought it was the perfect topic for a guest post! If you haven’t already picked up Mindwalker I would strongly suggest you grab a copy, and Kate’s recommendations below should give you plenty more to look forward to reading too. Hello and welcome to this Track of Words guest post, kindly contributed by Kate Dylan – author of the fantastic Mindwalker (and, recently announced, the upcoming Mindbreaker – due in September 2023).
