Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode we are joined by Annette Christie, author of the romantic novels “The Rehearsals” and “For Twice In My Life.” Throughout this lively interview, we learn that Annette is an author full of definitions. For example, she is a plotter (an outliner) who writes high-concept (stories with easily understandable, catchy ideas) women’s fiction (women-centered stories) with a romantic theme (as compared to pure romance.) We also discover that her first shelved book was a deconstructed love story (where the plot is reduced to its basic elements.) If you add all that together, it makes Annette not only a lovely and unique novelist, but also a Deconstructed High-Concept Plotter. Oh, and she may reveal her unexpected fear of sports. Come have some fun with us as you listen to Annette’s entertaining stories, and then share your own! We’d love to hear your shelved book story!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we meet Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author, Rebecca Yarros. In recounting her shelved book story, Rebecca explains that she has always been a huge fan of scifi and fantasy stories. In fact, the first serious book she wrote, the novel of her heart, and the one that got her an agent, was a fantasy novel. But for many reasons, publishers didn’t pick it up. The first book she sold was a contemporary romance, and that became her brand, and something she was also enthusiastic about. But a few years ago, the stars aligned, and Rebecca got her chance to return to her first love and her passion, her fantasy in the drawer. And is she ever glad she accepted the challenge! Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining and hilarious stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! On this week’s episode, we are joined by NYT bestselling author of science fiction, fantasy, and Star Wars universe novels, Beth Revis. As a college student with a nominal entertainment budget, Beth explains that writing became her chosen recreation. Her creativity did so well that she ended up writing and querying five completed books. In the years after graduating, and while becoming an official, tenured English teacher, Beth wrote and queried five more novels. Unfortunately, all of them were rejected. It was only with her eleventh novel, the book she considered her “last chance,” that she got her agent. All of us are delighted for her perseverance and conclude that with her ten shelved books, the award goes to… Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining and enlightening stories, and then share your own!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we are joined by New York Times bestselling author of science fiction and fantasy novels, Maria V. Snyder. In speaking to Maria, it becomes evident that her science background comes through not only in her stories, but also in the way she writes them. When drafting her books, Maria uses her life experience, be it childhood or adult memories, to make her characters feel more genuine. She researches her book’s subject matter both in person and online to be able to write clear details about them. And she also keeps organized notes and plot ideas with a notebook for every story. Oh, and she might give the hosts a mild panic attack when describing some of her past writing deadlines. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our hilarious and instructive stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, multiple-award-winning YA author L.E. DeLano joins us with the story that highlights how, sometimes, editor and writer can see a book differently. After she and her editor decided on her next book, about the richness and intrigue of Irish mythology, L.E. began the writing process, which was then followed by a lengthy and challenging round of edits. And just as L.E. thought the edits were finally done, she was hit with a life-threatening health crisis, a rejection of her story from her publisher, and being ghosted by her agent. Having survived those hard times, L.E. shares with us that when it comes to a shelved book you love, perseverance and the help of family and friends make all the difference. Come listen to our educational and insightful stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! On this week’s episode, we are joined by the award-winning author of “The Disturbed Girl’s Dictionary” and “Beauty Woke,” Nonieqa Ramos. In sharing their shelved book story, Nonieqa leads us into a discussion about the different pathways to a career in publishing and how each writer’s story is unique. Case in point, their own story: from having three “definitely” shelved books early in their career, to attending writing conferences to meet agents face to face rather than querying, to finding a writing mentor in a local librarian. This method, which might have seemed unconventional to some, suited Nonieqa perfectly and led them to find their distinctive and beautiful writing voice. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining and informative stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

But before we do, the hosts of the Shelved Book Podcast wanted to remember a fantastic inaugural year with a Top Ten Moments episode. These are the times our guests made us laugh so hard we nearly cried, or the ‘a-ha’ moments that made a concept come alive. Trust us, it was hard to choose with so many amazing guests and incredible moments, and lots of clips were left on the cutting-room floor, but here’s what we agreed on. A special thanks to CJ Edmunds for chatting with us again! And to all our viewers and listeners, thank you for watching and making us part of your week! Wishing all of you a happy and healthy New Year!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we meet Erin Hahn, YA and Adult Romance author of titles such as “You’d Be Mine” and “Never Saw You Coming.” But before being published, Erin wrote a book whose story was near and dear to her heart—the book she thought would be her breakthrough. It had both social and personal meaning and was requested by many agents who eventually sent her rejections. Erin discusses how she made the hard decision to follow her gut with this book, declining to make revisions some agents recommended in order to preserve the novel’s authenticity. And after one last attempt at publishing it years later, Erin had come to terms with keeping this story a shelved book, the book of her heart.    Podcast Links  Twitter: @shelvedbookspod  Instagram: @shelvedbookspod  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shelvedbookspod  TikTok: @shelvedbookspod   Podcast Email: shelvedbookspodcast@gmail.com   Angie's Links  Twitter: https://twitter.com/AngieSandro  FB Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Angie-Sandro/253044268078356  Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Angie-Sandro/e/B00HUXNWHI/  YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuBNkUMD0W7SAPYJzz40y-A   Christie's Links  Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChristieBerman  FB page: https://www.facebook.com/ChristieBermanAuthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Christie.Berman   Kate's Links  Twitter: https://twitter.com/WriteWithKate  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kateevangelistawrites/  FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/WriteWithKate/  YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/KateEvangelista/  Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Kate-Evangelista/e/B007Z723R4/   DJ Caz: https://www.cjedmunds.com/   Affiliate Disclaimer: This description may contain affiliate links.

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we welcome Jennifer Probst, New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Steet Journal best-selling author of romance and women’s fiction. Although Jennifer has published over 50 books in her writing career, she has also shelved three, each for a different reason. Whether it was a book full of passion and raw writing meant to learn the craft, or that intimidating book whose idea felt too big for her to write at the time, or an idea based on “The Worst Cooks in America” whose timing wasn’t right, Jennifer freely shares her insights on when to shelve a book and when to pick it up again. Oh, and she might also reveal how she plans on winning Survivor! Come have some fun with us as you listen to our inspiring and uplifting stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we are joined by Gail Villanueva, an award-winning, Filipino writer of middle-grade fiction. As we listened to Gail’s story, we came across so many delightful insights that we deemed it worthy of a double podcast! And so, in part 1 of her interview, Gail shares how she dealt with the rejection inherent to being a writer, how she chose her genre and which stories were hers to tell, and how sometimes, editing your story means cutting half of it and starting over. Oh, and we all have a laugh at how bad our first queries were! Come listen to the first part of Gail’s thought-provoking story, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!
