There are a lot of limitations here, so bear this in mind. Call it my librarian brain or my completionist desires, but it made sense to me to organize this information for others who, like me, sometimes just want to read a handful of short pieces by a single author. This is meant to help you seek out stories by your favorite authors, with a guide to the books in which they appear. I’ve scoured through YA anthologie s past and present-up to 2019-and pulled together an index to their contents by author. Until now! Welcome to the ultimate guide to YA short stories by your favorite authors. Why don’t we know about some of the individual authors within these amazing YA anthologies and what they’re contributing? Sure, we can look through each book’s table of contents, but what about a table of contents that allows readers to explore the shorter works of their favorite authors more broadly? The idea stewed in my head for a long time. Back many moons ago on the Hey YA podcast, Eric said something about Stephenie Meyer having written a short story for an anthology back in the day and how readers who want more should go seek it out.
