Collaborating across new media and gender: Co-writing f2m: the boy within social media online & the case (study) of a controversial YA novel
2010
Overview
Hazel Edwards' online collaboration for her 200th book, on a young adult novel, f2m: the boy within, is presented. The novel was co-authored by New Zealand-based Ryan Kennedy, who lived as a female until his transition to male at age twenty-seven. Since the February 2010 print publication by Ford Street Publishing, social media has influenced reviewing young adult fiction. The Edwards-Kennedy online literary process has become as timely as the topical, little-understood and formerly taboo subject of gender transition. Here, they discuss how to humanize rather than sensationalize the process and to stress the 'coming of age' of the fictional character but also the electronic 'coming of age' for professional 'book people' in new ways of fast evaluation via social media.
