Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we meet award-winning screenwriter and author, Mike Lera. As we soon discover, Mike is a creative thinker who has shelved multiple books and scripts through the years, for very different reasons. This leads to a discussion about how “life’s journey” can take you away from writing at times, how writing a novel from a screenplay can complement each other, and how we shouldn’t be afraid to try different paths to success. Oh, and there’s also a horror story about a teacher… *shiver* Come have some fun with us as you listen to our terror-ific stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, USA Today Best-Selling author, Bonne Brux, joins us to talk about the hilarious story surrounding her shelved book. It all started with a great idea for a historical fiction: a nanny, lots of children to look after, their difficult widower father to deal with, immigration issues… Boone poured her heart into this story, until she sat down to watch a movie one night. That’s when she understood why this idea sounded so good. Oh, and we might mention our pet peeves about a few reality-TV shows too. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our hilarious stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, author and college professor, Jenny L. Howe, joins us with the hilarious story of her “shelved forever” book which she wrote as two separate halves and could never quite realign properly. We also discuss the joy of finding an agent, followed by the year-long heartbreak of being on submission, which was only made worse by publishers’ contradictory editing comments. Jenny tells us how she rediscovered the joy in her writing by creating the stories she wanted to read and explains how using her authentic voice made all the difference. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our uplifting and thought-provoking stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! On this week’s podcast, we meet Rebecca Podos, an award-winning young adult author, as well as an agent with the Rees Literary Agency. Rebecca’s shelved book idea took flight as a result of a real event called the “aflockalypse,” where hundreds of dead birds fell from the sky. After much research and hard work, however, she realized that although her “tail” had good bones, the plumage was all wrong. And with new feathers in her cap, Rebecca devised the eagle-eyed changes to make the story soar. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, Young Adult author Kim Karalius joins us with her shelved book about magic, friendship, and bees. We discuss the research involved in writing a book, the time it takes to polish it, and that even when it feels like the perfect time for a story to be published, it might not “bee.” Sometimes, however, as your shelved book sits on its shelf and matures, what might have started as a perfect tale for young adults, could very well bee-come a wonderful adult story. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, #1 International Best Selling author, Ann B. Harrison, recounts the stories of her two shelved books. First, a romantic tale that Ann loved, but her editor couldn’t connect with, and second, a thriller that her editor loved, but Ann wasn’t confident enough to publish.

Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining 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 meet with Danika Stone, an educator, an artist, and the author of many Young Adult and Adult books. Her shelved book story begins with a manuscript she loved, that even her editor and agent loved, but the timing wasn’t meant to be. We talk about the creative versus the commercial side of writing, and how a writer must learn to appreciate both. And helped by Danika’s positivity, we reflect on the shelved book’s journey, hopeful that they are always “en route” to being published. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our uplifting and motivating 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 Rin Chupeco, a Filipino writer of young adult speculative fiction. As we chat with Rin about how their most recent shelved book was transformed into a published book, we discover that it’s one of many shelved books they wrote over the years. And Rin shares their recipe for success: your work in the present will pay off in the future, because Rin never considers a shelved book as done. It is simply resting, waiting for inspiration to strike. A future investment! Oh, and Kate shares her water-logged creative process also. Come listen to Rin’s thought-provoking story, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!

Hey Shelvies! In this weeks’ episode, we meet author, singer, songwriter, radio DJ, voice actor, and overall renaissance man, CJ “Caz” Edmunds. His shelved book about a “chosen” boy who learns to use his magic eventually developed into a world full of maps, notebooks, and worldbuilding that seemed too much to handle so early in his writing career. But not before he carefully chose the font, paper, and binding to gift his father with a printed copy of his book. His father’s reaction, and his obvious love for his son, lead to a conversation about parents recognizing talent in their children. Come listen to Caz’s fun and touching story, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book too!
