Overview

"Presented in this thesis project is the first 101 pages of an original work of fiction, the first book of a tentative trilogy titled "In Her Shadow." The genre is high fantasy and decopunk, a style of fiction revolving around the aesthetics of the 1920s/30s era, and is currently 32,555 words in length, extending across a sizeable portion of the first book's overall story arc. This has been my focus project across my entire two years of study within Emerson's Popular Fiction and Publishing graduate program, and the purpose of this project is to demonstrate my growth as a writer through this polished prose. Under the supervision of Committee Chair Jon Papernick, I have taken the cumulative feedback from four graduate-level workshops, as well as the Jon's feedback, to refine not only the draft of the story, but the details that inform the rest of the work and its sequels." -- Abstract
