I’m so excited to let you guys know about my 2025 projects . . . it’s going to be a very Stiefvatery year! It feels like an absurd amount of news to put into one email, but here goes:

In June, my adult debut novel comes out.

In August, the first installment of the Raven Cycle graphic novel adaptation comes out.

And sometime after that . . . the Shiver movie adaptation will come out.

You can read what the novel is about on Viking’s website, but I’ll tell you what it was really about, for me: trying to write someone’s favorite novel. When I decided to make the jump from YA to adult, I thought hard about what I thought the differences were between the categories, but also about what I wanted to be different about my novels for the next decade of my career. The media landscape is so changed from when I first began publishing; I didn’t want to just add more noise to the world.

I knew I wanted to write something unlike anything else out there, and knew I also wanted to do a ton of work so that the reader didn’t have to. I wanted the experience to unfold less like a novel than like a memory. You all can tell me how close I got. 

You can pre-order signed, personalized copies of THE LISTENERS from One More Page, who ship nearly everywhere on the globe. The UK publisher has let me know they’ll be coordinating signed options soon, too. And you can enter a Goodreads giveaway for early copies here (US only, I’m afraid).

As always, copies pre-ordered from One More Page also come with a signed bookplate with my art on it. I’ve only just started the art for it, but here’s a sneak peek.

Onto the graphic novel! I have been chatting with Sas Milledge about doing a graphic novel adaptation of the Raven Cycle for literally years, so getting the greenlight from Viking Children’s to go ahead with all four books was a dream come true. Speaking of dreams, it is a dream team: Meriam Metoui, my editor, is a fan, Sas began as a fan artist before she went to university for illustration, and I, of course, am the writer. ;p We pulled out all the stops making sure the experience of reading the graphic novel feels like the experience of reading the prose novel. When it was all done, I looked at the final pages and I thought . . . there are going to be some readers out there who prefer the graphic novel to the prose novel. What a cool concept.

You can pre-order personalized, signed copies of it from One More Page, too. Like THE LISTENERS, copies from One More Page will also come with a signed bookplate with my art on it.

And lastly, the Shiver movie is currently wrapping up filming as we speak. I wasn’t involved in the casting, but I did see the script and work with them on a fan Easter egg. They’ve announced the cast and more news will come very soon!

Until then, you can snag a copy of Shiver with its new cover, if you like—One More Page, of course, always has copies, but so does Target. 

Woof, I think that’s it. Can’t wait to hit post on this bad boy and immediately see all the typos . . . 

Thank you all for reading my books over the years. I hope this news is as fun for you guys as it is for me!
