These two anthologies brought Moriarty into multi-author collections during the mid-to-late 2000s, alongside other YA writers. The collections are themed around experiences common to teenage life, and each author’s contribution approaches the theme from a different angle and in a different style. Both books were published with a primarily North American audience in mind.
Short story anthologies of this type were popular in YA publishing during this period, and they gave readers a way to sample authors they might not otherwise have tried. For fans of Moriarty’s longer work, her anthology contributions offer a glimpse of her voice in a shorter format, though the books themselves are ensemble projects rather than primarily hers.
