Blog postI've officially decided to stop mirroring my blog content here on blogspot — sorry to all my subscribers on here, but it's just one extra step too many.
The official blog remains at www.maggiestiefvater.com/blog, and the unofficial one remains at Tumblr.
I'll leave the old posts up here as the critique partner finding ones, in particular, are still active. -
Blog postTADA. Here’s the cover for the last book in the Raven Cycle.
Folks have been asking me what the actual release date is for quite awhile and I’ve been holding off until I got a definitive answer from Scholastic: it’s 4/26/16.
If you want to pre-order a signed book with an illustrated Something Extra (more about that later), Fountain Bookstore is the place to go: http://www.fountainbookstore.com/autograph-maggie. -
Blog postDear michiefen,
Traditionally, I have been somewhat of an ******e about NaNoWriMo. I began being an ******e about it in 2010, when I tried to use NaNo to write The Scorpio Races, and persisted in being somewhat of an ******e for years. We hissed at each other in the halls. NaNoWriMo stabbed my tires in the Target parking lot. I squeezed pimples into its Starbucks latte.
But this year I was driving along in my car shortly before it caught fire and I w -

Blog postI always forget to update the site with the bonus stuff that accompanies releases, so I'm feeling pretty virtuous for remembering to do it this time.
My tarot deck comes out September 8th in the U.S., a month later overseas. I've done a bonus card that'll come with every order placed with my friends at Fountain Bookstore. A lot of my bonus stuff is for pre-order only, but every tarot order from Fountain will come with a card forever and always, but the pre-ordered decks (every order -
Blog postDear jeschas,
When I was something that lived in the 80s, I used to listen to Everybody Wants to Rule the World and daydream about one day being grown up and famous. I’m only vaguely grown up now, but I’m only vaguely famous, too, so that’s all right.
One will never get famous surfing Pinterest or Tumblr.
This is how I get myself to my writing place: I take myself there and I do the work. Sometimes I picture it as a movie. Sometimes I narrate it t -
Blog post
Dear bleep-blop-bedroom-pop,
When I was a small and angry child, I used to pass my time in a variety of creative pursuits: making masks out of paper plates, writing stories with names like Bone at the Pound*, making paper dolls of my family, digging up the entire side yard and terraforming it into a miniature mud-and-stick village for one inch tall inhabitants, and grooming my terriers into the ridiculous shapes that the American Kennel Club mandated for show-read -
Blog postI'm delighted to be creeping closer to the release date for Pip Bartlett's Guide to Magical Creatures, the middle grade project I've written with Jackson Pearce.
Early reviews have been lovely:
Publisher's Weekly says: "Fantasy fans will delight in Pip’s humorous adventures in a world whose mix of the magical and the modern feels like a gentler cousin to the ones featured in the authors’ respective YA books."
Kirkus says: "Stiefvater ou -
Blog postToday, I got a few advanced review copies of Pip Bartlett's Guide to Magical Creatures, my joint project with my friend Jackson Pearce. And also: my first book illustration credit. Lover galloped into the room with the package and waved my drawings in front of me. It felt pretty marvelous to see it in person.
(it's for the 8-12 age group, officially) (it comes out April 28th) -
Blog postIt's time for some hook-ups. Namely, the 2015 Critique Partner Love Connection.
As many of you already know, I have two critique partners (Tessa Gratton and Brenna Yovanoff) whom I love dearly. For the last 6+ years, they've read everything I wrote before my editor ever got a look at it. Tessa and Brenna critique, suggest, support, and mock whenever I need critique, suggestions, support, or mockery. Our critique group is the result of a long search — I went through numerous writers' -
Blog postThe plan: tour for Blue Lily, Lily Blue for two and a half weeks, then fly to Colorado for a family vacation over Thanksgiving.
The tour: Kansas City (whoo!), Toronto (yay!), Miami (TAKE MY BODY MIAMI JUST TAKE IT)
The backstory: Every moment that I wasn’t speaking to readers on tour, I was texting Lover. (ME: “IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME YOU WOULD GET ME A DATSUN FOR MY BIRTHDAY” LOVER: “I’d get you a Datsun if I thought that was what you really wanted. But I don’t think yo -
Blog postWell, this is weird and cool to finally do: ta da! this is the cover of Pip Bartlett’s Guide to Magical Creatures, coming out 4/28/15. I co-wrote it with my friend Jackson Pearce, a process more fun than work has any right to be. But also: this is the first book I’ve ever illustrated. Way back when I was a starving artist, I dreamed of being a children’s book illustrator, and years and years ago, the first business cards I ever made said BLUE GRIFFIN ILLUSTRATION on the top. It seems revoltingly

Blog postAh, man, I've been sitting on this news for so, so long.
More than any of my books, this is the one I long to see on the big screen, and it’s also the one that has had the most aggressive interest since publication. Fingers crossed that it makes it to filming. Double, triple, quadruple crossed.
Full story at the Hollywood Reporter here. -
Blog postSo, it’s finally that day: Blue Lily, Lily Blue’s release day. It has been a little over a year since The Dream Thieves came out, and what a year it has been.
Readers, thanks for allowing me another year of hunting for Glendower and Cabeswater all over the mountains I love. -

Blog postMy publisher surprised me today by mailing me a box of Blue Lily, Lily Blue ARCs — I had no idea such things were going to exist, nor that I was going to get them, but now I intend to give them away. Here's how: Just post on your blog (blogspot, Tumblr, wordpress, whatever), Twitter, or Facebook one reason why you enjoyed reading the Raven Cycle, and then post the link to the status update (if you don't know how to do this, Google is your friend) into the Rafflecopter contest thingy.

Blog postBehold! I'm revoltingly pleased to be able to share an excerpt from Blue Lily, Lily Blue. There's two ways to experience it. You can listen to the prologue, read by Will Patton.
Or you can read the prologue and the first chapter here. And a reminder that you can get special things, such as doodles & custom bookplates, if you pre-order before October 21st from certain bookstores. Info on that here.

Blog postOkay, I've finished the art for the Blue Lily, Lily Blue bookplate.
I try to make art every year to thank the readers who support me book after book, so please know that all of these pencil marks are my wordless (and now wordful?) appreciation.
The signed bookplates will go into every copy of Blue Lily, Lily Blue pre-ordered from Fountain Bookstore before the release date of October 21 (http://www.fountainbookstore.com/autograph-maggie). They'll also come w -
Blog postI used to think that my ideal job was to write. To make up stories. To lie for a living. Now that I’m in it, though, now that I’m comfortable in my novelist skin, it doesn’t feel that way at all. I observe for a living. I steal for a living. I stylize for a living. I find things in the real world, I take them for my own, and then I hammer them into a story-shaped thing. Writer? I am a thief and an artist.
One of my loves is mythology and folklore, and one of the earliest folkloric t -
Blog postI’ve gotten a lot of messages and asks about what to expect/ do/ not do at one of my signings, so I thought I’d do a big post about it. Many of them strike me as the questions of shy introverts — I could be projecting, as I'm still an introvert, and used to be quite shy myself, but I think not.Back in the day, I used to dread speaking on the phone and hated to go to any sort of social event where I might inadvertently violate some unspoken social code that everyone else somehow knew but I had m

Blog postOn Twitter today — and everyday — there was some chatter and scuffle about Some Authors’ Careers and Some Authors’ Fame and whether they had deserved it. Some folks invariably said the chatter and scuffle was jealousy. Some others invariably said not everything is jealousy.
Here’s what I think: having a writing career is like driving a race car.
I’m not really a grand race car driver, mostly because I’ve discovered that I don’t really care about winning against anyone b -
Blog postHere is a lie we’ve all been told: books will make you smart.
This week, the Internet churns once more over the latest article denouncing adults who read young adult fiction. The argument is always the same: young adult/ thrillers/ romance/ sci-fi/ chicklit/ picture books/ subway maps are not as good for you as adult literary/ nonfiction/ dead Russians/ the calorie lists on Chipotle menus. Lovers of the former are always ready with a defense — either that the former really are as qu -
Blog postI'm revoltingly pleased to announce that I've finally finished animating and recording the music for the Sinner book trailer.
Here it is!
The book itself comes out July 1st in the U.S. (July 3rd in the UK).
The song can be downloaded for free on my Soundcloud account.
You can find full tour date info here. -
Blog postToday, a reader asked me about the source of the Gansey family wealth, and as I answered her, I thought about why Gansey is who he is, and why I wrote his family’s wealth, and what was I trying to explore when I invented him. Because there were ten thousand ways to write Gansey, and I chose this one: why?
It's because Gansey is not me — none of the characters are truly me — but they do exist to answer questions in my head. Sometimes I write them because I think I already know the an -
Blog postReaders who have followed me for a while will know that each year, I try to do something special to some of the pre-ordered copies of my novels. This year I had a really ambitious idea and Scholastic was lovely enough to help me take this concept and run with it.
First, I did portraits of Cole, Isabel, and a wolf:
and Scholastic is printing them on posters that just happen to be perfectly sized to do this:
