Hey Shelvies! It’s almost time to sing Auld Lang Syne and say goodbye to 2022. 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.

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!
