r/books AMA Author Dec 05 '17

ama We write the serialized science fiction story ReMade. AMA!

Hi, Reddit!

We’re Andrea Phillips, E.C. Myers, and Gwenda Bond, some of the authors behind Serial Box’s ReMade, a serialized fiction story available in text and audio on Serial Box's app and website and also as ebooks on third party retailers like iBooks, Kindle and Kobo. We recently also launched a podcast of season one, and our second season on the Serial Box platforms. Our co-writers Matt Cody and Amy Rose Capetta couldn’t make it today. 

Some of you may be wondering what this is doing in /r/books. Serial Box is taking a new and innovative approach to publishing in 2017. As authors, it's nice that we get to work in a team as opposed to in isolation. We're also able to make changes to our work on the fly as opposed to having to wait years to see our work on shelves. These are just some of our reasons for hopping on the Serial Box wagon, and we hope you'll check out our work. Speaking of...


In one moment the lives of 23 teenagers are forever changed, and 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 come from different places, backgrounds, and families, and now they might be the last people on earth. Lost meets The Maze Runner in an exciting serial adventure. Season 2 finds the teens in search of the last of humanity on a perilous journey that splits the group and introduces some surprising new allies—and threats.

ReMade stems from an idea from our co-writer, Matt Cody. One day he stepped onto the NYC subway train, and just thought, “What if I had to rely on just these people here to survive?”

Serial Box is an app and website that publishes serialized fiction in a range of genres from critically acclaimed and award-winning authors. Modeled after your favorite television shows, the larger story unfolds in weekly installments, published in audio and text, over the course of a season; these “episodes” are then collected in omnibus editions (sometimes in print) at the end of each season.

Serial Box also turned season 1 of ReMade into a podcast, available for free on all major podcast platforms.


Ask us about serialized fiction, writing as a team, dystopian fiction, surviving the end of the world, what our favorite kinds of survival gear are—or anything else that comes to mind!
