Here is a little about me

Suzanne Collins began her career in 1991 writing for children's television, working on shows like Clarissa Explains It All and Little Bear. She co-wrote the Emmy-nominated Santa, Baby! and later became the head writer for Clifford's Puppy Days. While working on Generation O!, she was encouraged by author James Proimos to try writing children's books. Collins’ first book series, The Underland Chronicles, became a bestseller. Her next series, The Hunger Games, became a global phenomenon, spending over six years on the New York Times bestseller list and being translated into 52 languages. The series was adapted into a successful film franchise, grossing nearly $3 billion worldwide. In addition to her novels, Collins wrote Year of the Jungle, an autobiographical picture book, and When Charlie McButton Lost Power. She was named to the TIME 100 list in 2010 and received the Authors Guild Award in 2016 for her contributions to young adult literature.

Sunrise on the reaping

Sunrise on the Reaping will revisit the world of Panem twenty-four years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the Fiftieth Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. (Scholastic Press, 2025)

"With Sunrise on the Reaping, I was inspired by David Hume's idea of implicit submission and, in his words, 'the easiness with which the many are governed by the few.' The story also lent itself to a deeper dive into the use of propaganda and the power of those who control the narrative. The question 'Real or not real?' seems more pressing to me every day."
