In every new story we pick up, we’re seeking an exciting original voice. So why are there still voices we don’t hear from nearly enough? Why are there characters that so rarely take centre stage? In this collection from Odd Voice Out press, we discover the stories of twelve teenagers who stand out from the crowd and who’ll not easily be forgotten.

How can you not be keen to read this anthology after a synopsis like that!
Odd Voices is a brilliant and inclusive feeling anthology. There are stories with narrators that we do not get to see much of in mainstream YA, and the stories span multiple genres. Obviously with any anthology I preferred some stories to others, but all the stories were of a high caliber.
Breathe by Eddie House. Dystopian, with F/F rep. A Great story to kick start the anthology with and one of my favourites. Captivating ...more

Those stories were so amazingly original!! I love that each one of them had characters that you don't see often in typical novels. It's pretty incredible how much world-building and character development is contained in so very little pages. My favorite was 'Shoplifting' by Frances Copeland, providing a well-rounded voice to a wheelchair-bound girl, a story that was both tragic and funny. Hopefully this is the first of many Anthologies of not so normal narrators!

Can't express how proud I am of the Top Ten winning entries for our first OvO anthology contest. We were seeking unusual and diverse protagonists in YA fiction with no restrictions on setting or genre. This is a collection of our most captivating standout submissions with a foreword by the always passionate and insightful YA author Catherine Johnson, who has served as a mentor to both K.C. Finn and myself at different times in our writing careers.
