In one moment the lives of twenty-three teenagers are forever changed, and it's not just because they all happen to die. "ReMade" in a world they barely recognize--one with robots, space elevators, and unchecked jungle--they must work together to survive. They came from different places, backgrounds, and families, and now they might be the last people on earth. Lost meets The Maze Runner in this exciting adventure from Serial Box Publishing.

The remade teens forge forward in their future world—a smaller group, wiser but tougher. Just as they begin to think they understand their new circumstances, though, a reminder of past trauma makes them question everything they know, and sets them on a new course.

Team-written by some of today’s most exciting authors, ReMade is brought to you by Matthew Cody (Super), Andrea Phillips (Revision), Gwenda Bond (Girl on a Wire), Amy Rose Capetta (Entangled), and E. C. Myers (The Silence of Six).

Bookburners: On co-writing a serial… by Mur Lafferty, Max Gladstone, Brian Francis Slattery, and Margaret Dunlap


Please welcome Mur Lafferty, Max Gladstone, Brian Francis Slattery, and Margaret Dunlap. They are writing the Bookburners serial for SerialBox. Bookburners is an urban fantasy adventure series about a black-ops anti-magic squad which is backed by the Vatican. You can read Chapter One at the SerialBox website here.



Bookburners: On co-writing a serial… by Mur Lafferty, Max Gladstone, Brian Francis Slattery, and Margaret Dunlap




On co-writing a serial…

Mur Lafferty says…Co-writing a serial is fun, with it’s own challenges and windfalls. It’s easier in the way that if you get stuck, then you have a whole bunch of other people who know the story as intimately as you do who are ready to help. But--It's harder in the way that we all must agree in the direction a story is going. When there's a disagreement, we talk it out as a team. You learn what battles are worth fighting and which are ok to let go.

Max Gladstone agrees—Indeed! It’s easier in some ways, harder in others. Easily the best part—for me—is getting to pitch an idea to a room full of brilliant people and go “Hey! What do we think about…. THIS?” And then you see, in real time, whose eyes light up and whose go dead! Normally when I’m working on my own that’s at least several hours of grinding through outlines and possible plot developments. The hardest part, but most valuable, has been learning how to outline and story break. I do most of that stuff instinctively, in my head—but since we’re writing episodes in parallel, it really helps to be able to show people in advance what I’m going to do. Some of that’s snuck back into my novel writing, now!

But Brian Francis Slattery is staying middle of the road: I'm not sure I think of it as easier or harder. Both are great. I will say that working with other people means there are more surprises, and I like surprises. A lot.

Meanwhile, Margaret Dunlap is a happy old-hand: I love collaborating with other writers. It's one of the things that drew me to writing for television in the first place. I mean, what better job is there than sitting around with a bunch of smart creative people and planning the lives of fictional characters as though they're real? On Bookburners, we discovered that even though no one else had worked in a writers room per se, we all played tabletop roleplaying games, which is, at its heart, an exercise in collaborative storytelling. The qualities that make a good player or DM--listening, using other people's ideas as launching points for your own, and generally playing well with others--are the same things that make for the kind of writer you'd want to collaborate with on something like this. Everyone was totally game and excited about the project, and I've had a blast working with all of them.

Magic is real, and hungry—trapped in ancient texts and artifacts, only a few who discover it survive to fight back. Detective Sal Brooks is a survivor. Abruptly thrust into the battle between nefarious forces trying to unleash this power onto the world and those trying to stop them, she joins a Vatican-backed black-ops anti-magic squad: Team Three of the Societas Librorum Occultorum. Together they stand between humanity and magical apocalypse. Some call them Bookburners. They don’t like the label.

Chapter 1: Badge, Book, and Candle
NYPD Detective Sal Brooks is no rookie—but even the most hardened cop would think twice when they see their brother open a book and become…well…something entirely not their brother. When her attempts to solve the case cross paths with a mysterious team led by a priest, she starts to realize that the world is far more than what is seems, and, just maybe, magic is real—and hungry.

Thus begins the 16-part serial, Bookburners, presented by Serial Box. From a team of writers, this collaborative effort will unfold an epic urban fantasy narrative across an entire season in weekly installments.

Follow along as Sal learns the life changing lesson: some books have teeth.
