I finally made one of those book trope graphics!
COURT OF THE UNDYING SEASONS is my upcoming YA dark fantasy about a reluctant initiate to a school for vampires trying to get revenge before she becomes a vampire, dies trying, or, worse, falls for one. It's out 5/16/23 with Macmillan!
Hereās the cover for my next dark YA fantasy, Court of the Undying Seasons! (Designed and illustrated by the amazing Rich Dias.)
The book is about an initiate to a school for vampires trying to get revenge before she becomes a vampire, dies trying, or, worse, falls for one. I canāt wait for it to be out in the world 5/16/23 from Feiwel and Friends/Macmillan! (With perhaps more publisher announcements to come...)

Love this so much--canāt wait for you all to meet Fin and Gavron!
To celebrate Pride Month, Rose Lemberg put together a list highlighting ten LGBTQIA creators of color in the field of SFF. Iām honored to be part of this article.
In the wake of the tragic events in Orlando, FL, it becomes impossible to ignore the fact that our presence, our existence, is still viewed as an abomination in the eyes of many people. Visibility is dangerous. Celebrating who we are as LGBTQIA folks is dangerous. And between the shooting at Pulse in Orlando and the attempted bombing of the LA Pride Parade, we see that this danger is very real and very present today.
So here is to all of my LGBTQIA siblings, out or not, accepted by family and friends or not. You are all brave, simply for existing in a world hostile to us. Bravery is exhausting. Iām sorry that we have to be brave just to exist. But I see you, and I honor you, in this month celebrating us, and on every day to come.
Families, hold your children and loved ones tight. Try to understand and love us as we are. In tragedy, who we are, who we were, and how we loved and were loved is all that weāll have left.
Hey!! So I know this is random, but after the whole Orlando situation...I've been very mentally negative (sad and scared and all that other stuff), but I was wondering if you had any recommendations about gay fiction. Nothing steamy but just bubbly-ish stuff. Like Ari&Dante #baes [Honestly, it's me and my boyfriend's favorite book and we've both reread it too!] I want books that my library probably has because i need immediate satisfaction rather than waiting or buying #brokelife THANKS! :) :) !
I feel you, friend. Iām right there with you. (ari and dante are #baes, youāre so right). Below Iāve listed a few pretty feel-goody YA books that focus on queer guys. I hope you find them at your library!Ā
Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Drag Teen by Jeffery Self
Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan
Two Boys Kissing by David LevithanĀ
Rainbow Trilogy by Alex SanchezĀ
One Man Guy by Micheal BarakivaĀ
Getting punchy during an #amrevising session on the sequel to SHADOW RUN last night at 3am with my coauthor, Michael Miller. There was lots of laughing, made up words, and beer. (at Butte Elementary)
An interview with my coauthor, Michael Miller, in which he calls me "the electric cattle prod of writer encouragement," among other things!
Also, Eton, a character from SHADOW RUN, is "interviewed" rather hilariously at the end.
Ready for your TBR list to explode? Iāve gathered the 100 best sci-fi fantasy novels by female authors and there is sooooo much reading goodness to dig into. From YA to adult lit, from magical realism to epic fantasy to post-apocalyptic sci-fi feminism, from short stories to series, thereās a book on this list for every single reader.

Shadow Run is an epic space adventure, in which a close-knit, found family of a crew navigates a galaxy of political intrigue.
YAY, the cover for SHADOW RUN is live over at Hypable! You can also get a sneak-peek at the first chapter and enter to win a signed ARC!
Seeing reflections of yourself in the fiction you love is one of the most powerful forms of affirmation we have in popular culture

Queer
On why it took me so long to come out as queer.
Because the person I was in my heart didnāt fit anything Iād seen, and Iāve always been nearsighted.
Because I wasnāt even a straightforward kind of queer, but possibly I wasnāt queer enough.
Because the person I wanted to be wasnāt ārespectable.ā Because I hadnāt learned to respect myself, I desperately needed you to do it for me.
Because I was many things at once and I couldnāt make it cohere.
Because when I envisioned becoming whole, I imagined disappointment on your face.
Because I thought it was easier to bend and not break.
Now these shards reflect back my authenticity.
Beautiful, poignant words.
Guilty as charged ā¦
dear stiefvater: has the fandom ever influenced the outcomes or the way things are presented in your novels, or have you always stuck to what you had originally planned? urs, chelsea.
Dear pynchism/chelsea,
As a commercial writer, I learn a lot from reader reaction, but only in between projectsĀ (a series counts as one project in this case), i.e. when a thing is done, I take a look at reactions to see how it landed and if I did what I hoped to accomplish. I do not do a similar reader-check while a project is in progress, because that is the way to both madness and a diluted, anemic series or novel.
This is how I try to write.
urs,
Stiefvater
This is very wise.
āI just donāt identify with the characterā
Contributed by Kate Sullivan, Senior Editor at Delacorte PressĀ
These days, many working in the industry have heard the news and are on board with the mission: itās time to diversify the book market. Publishing is an ecosystem, and every level needs to be committed to making changes if this mission is to succeed.
As an editor, I think a lot about my piece in this effort, and Iām avidly watching what other editors are doing to make it happen. Recently, some conversations I had on Twitter surrounding #ownvoices and #Dvpit made me reflect about blind spots that even the best intentioned ally or advocate editors haveāincluding myselfāand I want to share those revelations so that we can keep pushing the efforts forward.
I know many editors who are ready for change, and are embracing it. Theyāre calling to the heavens, to Twitter, lunching agents, asking and begging for more diverse submissions. Andā¦ honestly, we havenāt been super successful yet. At least, I know Iām not the only one discouraged by the limited progress. Some authors of color or marginalized voices are getting bigger and better book deals but not enough. Iām seeing more books that feature characters of different ethnicities or backgrounds and sexualities, and fantasies inspired by different cultures, but most of them arenāt written by diverse authors. Itās progress of a sort, but we need to push further and do better.
Keep reading
Written by my editor at Delacorte, Kate Sullivan, and very much worth reading!
More first pass pages for SHADOW RUN! #yalit #yascifi #delacortepress
