I’m Corinne Duyvis, award-winning author of books for young readers.

My YA novels to date — Otherbound (2014), On the Edge of Gone (2016), and The Art of Saving the World (2020) — were all published by Amulet Books/ABRAMS. They’ve earned critical acclaim, including receiving many starred reviews, appearing on best-of-the-year-lists, and winning a number of awards.

I’m also the author of Guardians of the Galaxy: Collect Them All (2017), an original prose novel set in the Marvel universe, and several short stories, including Rebuilding Ruins (2024), which is set in the Overwatch universe.

the perfect mix of fantasy and
coming-of-age realistic fiction
