I had a reading slump a while back and since then, I've vowed to read more. Here are some awesome recs I'd love to share with you!<br />
<br />
My favorite read of the year so far?<br />
<br />
<b>Circus Mirandus</b>. I absolutely loved this book. It was sad, sweet, magical and hopeful. If you're looking for a good MG book, check this one out. You won't be disappointed. <br />

<br />
<b>Ophelia and the Marvelous Boy</b> was such a sweet read too. Magical and fun about a girl who thinks she's rather ordinary, but finds out she's not even close. A retelling of the Snow Queen. A fun MG that anyone will enjoy.<br />
<br />

Now, on the YA side of things, <b>Stolen Songbird</b> has been my favorite read this year so far. Such a good book full of romance, magic and trolls! <br />

So, I thought a blog post was in order.<br />
<br />
I've been reading so many books lately and I've been loving it! I'm a HUGE Middle Grade fan and here are some awesome ones I've finished in the past few weeks.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernon</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H4eJkIVszZA/VW9gv1gzpdI/AAAAAAAAETk/OkXx0lF43eg/s1600/castle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H4eJkIVszZA/VW9gv1gzpdI/AAAAAAAAETk/OkXx0lF43eg/s400/castle.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<br />
This book was so much fun! I loved the main character, Molly. She was adorable and loved being "bad". I hope there's a sequel. I really enjoyed the writing, the characters and the story. So fun.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Doll Bones by Holly Black</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ihdiil1vchQ/VW9hicOuxUI/AAAAAAAAETs/9XZC650SK8I/s1600/doll%2Bbones.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ihdiil1vchQ/VW9hicOuxUI/AAAAAAAAETs/9XZC650SK8I/s320/doll%2Bbones.jpg" width="214" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I'm probably the last person in the writing world to read this. I heard so much hype that I bought it at the Scholastic book fair at my kids school. It didn't disappoint! I thought it was fantastic and creepy. Loved the main characters, and the mystery was spooky and well done. Great read!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Time of the Fireflies by Kimberley Griffiths Little</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eii80WcRtuY/VW9iQP0BPVI/AAAAAAAAET0/2R8XEhILg6A/s1600/Time%2Bof%2Bthe%2BFireflies_Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Eii80WcRtuY/VW9iQP0BPVI/AAAAAAAAET0/2R8XEhILg6A/s320/Time%2Bof%2Bthe%2BFireflies_Cover.jpg" width="202" /></a></div>
This book was totally not what I was expecting. SUPER creepy mystery, SUPER creepy doll. Yes, another doll! But it was wonderfully written and the protagonist was awesome. I love Kimberley's books. But seriously. This one was creepier than most... :)<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
First thing, I attended the <a href="http://ldstorymakers.com/">LDStorymakers Conference</a>. It was AMAZING. I loved every second of it, especially because I was with my tribe. Writers are the best, ya'll. Check it out, especially if you live in Utah. I promise, it's worth every penny.<br />
<br />
I had the pleasure of being on the committee this year. So, at the end of the conference, the fabulous new Chair: Jenny Proctor called me as Co-Chair for next year. I'm excited, nervous, freaking out a bit, and humbled that she would ask me to take on such a huge responsibility.<br />
<br />
Bring it on 2016!<br />
<br />
My next piece of news is my awesome amazing agent sold my next book! Here's the official announcement:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
From Publishers Marketplace:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Children's: Young Adult<span class="text_exposed_show"><br />
Set in the LOVE, LUCAS world, Chantele Sedgwick's SWITCHING GEARS,
about a teen who throws herself into mountain biking to try to deal with
her lost love, her mother's devastating diagnosis, and life's general
messiness, to Nicole Frail at Sky Pony Press, in a nice deal, for
publication in Fall 2016, by Nicole Resciniti at The Seymour Agency
(World).</span></div>
<br />
<br />
I'm thrilled to be working with my awesome editor, Nicole Frail again! She is so great and encouraging and I can't wait to get started on edits and things.<br />
<br />
The last piece of news, is my awesome friend <a href="http://jolenebperry.com/">Jolene Perry</a> re-designed my website for me and made it look so fab. I love it and she's amazing at what she does.<br />
<br />
Here's to good news, writer friends and a hopefully awesome holiday weekend!<br />

So, Love, Lucas releases in a month. I'm freaking out. Excited and nervous and seriously...freaking out. Haha. So, I wanted to talk about Pre-Orders for a minute. A book with a good amount of pre-orders help launch it out of the gate with good numbers that really help the publisher, bookstores and of course, the author and book! So, if you're planning on buying Love, Lucas, consider pre-ordering from your favorite bookstore and it will ship the day it releases. Or in some cases...before it releases! You can order it on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Lucas-Chantele-Sedgwick/dp/1632204177/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1">Amazon</a>,<a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/love-lucas-chantele-sedgwick/1120316250?ean=9781632204172"> Barnes and Noble</a>, <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9781632204172">IndieBound</a>, <a href="http://www.booksamillion.com/p/Love-Lucas/Chantele-Sedgwick/9781632204172?id=6002706287594">Books a Million</a> and if you're coming to my launch party on May 9th at the <a href="http://www.kingsenglish.com/book/9781632204172">King's English Bookshop</a>, you can order from them as well! </div>

Hopefully it can help someone. I'll do it in a few different parts so I don't have a post that's super long. :)<br />
<br />
So, querying. How do I know I'm ready to start?<br />
<br />
Let's talk about the WHEN:<br />
<br />
1-Finish your book: VERY IMPORTANT. Do not query unless you have a finished book to send to an agent. A query is like a job interview. If you query an agent with half of a book, or an idea, then you've made a very bad first impression. Agents want books. They want it finished, polished and as perfect as you can get it. You don't want to mess up a chance at getting an agent by not having a finished book. <br />
<br />
2-Edit and Revise: Your first draft is just that. A first draft. It's not polished, it's not even close to being perfect, even if you think it is. Please, please revise and edit and go over it to make it the best you can get it.<br />
<br />
3-Critique Partners/Beta Readers: Get yourself some awesome critique partners and beta readers. Critique partners go over your book carefully, pointing out plot holes, etc. They will also catch all the dumb little mistakes you've made in your book. Because everyone makes them. :) Beta readers will look at the bigger picture and let you know what's working vs what needs to be changed about the plot, characters, etc. I like to have my critique partners read my book first. Then I do a round of revisions and send it to some trusted beta readers. The readers then tell me what else is not working or what is and I revise accordingly if I agree.<br />
<br />
*To find critique partners, get involved in the writing community. Go to conferences, join writing organizations. It's hard to put yourself out there, but so many writers are going through the same thing you are. There are a lot of us that are introverts and that's okay. Get out of your comfort zone and make some new friends. You never know how they'll impact your life for the better until much later. I've met so many wonderful people which have become some of my closest friends.<br />
<br />
4-Revise again: Once your get all of your revisions based on readers done, go through it again and make sure the story flows well.<br />
<br />
5-Go through it again and make it shine: When your plot is nice and shiny, go through and look for repetitive words, little mistakes, make sure your sentences are nice and tight, etc. <br />
<br />
You know, there's never a time when you'll feel like you're ready to query. If you've gone over it a million times, edited the crap out of it, revised it several times, had beta readers and revised according to their suggestions and just can't stand to look at it anymore, take a look at it once more, and put on your brave face. It's SO hard to let your book of your hands and send it to agents. So hard. But if you want this, you can do it. And it will be worth it. Stay tuned for more on querying. :)Chantele Sedgwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306182475647359241.post-67360417939029763052015-01-29T15:29:00.004-08:002015-01-29T15:30:16.766-08:00What I'm Reading!Hello my friends!

<b>Reading Now:</b> Keeper of the Lost Cities: Exile by Shannon Messenger<br />

<b>Finished Reading:</b> Son of War, Daughter of Chaos by Janette Rallison <br />
<br />
I've been a huge fan of Janette Rallison's books for years. So, when I heard she had a new book, I was all over that. And I'm just going to say it. I loved it! It was so different from other books I've read lately, and I seriously loved everything about it. The characters, the storyline, everything! I'm really really hoping for a sequel, and lately, I don't say that very often. Anyway, check it out on Amazon ASAP! :)<br />

I don't know about you guys, but I swear 2014 was the fastest year ever. It seriously flew by. That being said, I'm so excited for this wonderful Thanksgiving/Christmas season full of hot chocolate, snow and watching my children love every second of it.<br />

<b>Atlantia by Ally Condie. </b><br />

I usually do my posts a little different with going to read, reading now and read, but I've read so much the past week that I'm going to post three books that I've already read. :) Seriously. Can there be any more "reads" added to that sentence above? Haha! Anyway, here are some great reads from this week.<br />
<br />
The CURE FOR DREAMING by Cat Winters. Seriously guys. Cat Winters is one of my new favorite authors. Love her books. They're so eerie with great characters and awesome twists. Loved this one so much and cannot WAIT for her next book that comes out next year! Isn't that cover super intriguing and creeptastic? Yes. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On The Fence by Kasie West. This book was JUST what I needed. So cute and romantic with real tough issues as well. This one was definitely a favorite this year. And how freaking cute is that cover?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just finished The Unhappening of Genesis Lee by Shallee McArthur today! I loved this one as well. So unique! I've never read anything like it before. Link bracelets that store memories? A cute boy? A girl who will risk everything to find out the truth? Great mystery, characters and story. And such a pretty and unique cover that looks awesome on my book shelf. Pick it up guys. You won't be disappointed. :)<br />

This book was so interesting and amazing and beautiful. I loved the two main characters, the world, the COVER. Anyway, check it out. It's awesome. I'd compare it to Titanic in Space. Brilliant.<br />

I didn't hear about ARCHIVED by Victoria Schwab until my sister told me about it. I'm so glad she did! What I loved most about this book was how different it was.

herself—saving everyone the trouble of befriending a dying girl. It’s a
difficult task when cheerful optimist Giana insists on being Kate’s
friend.</i><br />

never seen it, go right now and look it up. I mean, we’re talking 80’s TV show
with Bruce Boxleitner and Kate Jackson. It’s awe-some. My favorite TV shows
right now are Once Upon a Time, Agents of Shield, and The Voice.</div>

<br />
Here's the blurb:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">When Ash Summerland left the Academy of Magical Beings, he was sure he’d put his
troubles behind him. But when his girlfriend, Kendall, is almost killed by an
old enemy over something he knows little about, Ash is forced to confront the demons
of his past if he wants to save his and Kendall’s
future.</span></div>
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">With his fairy magic fading and his djinn
magic more powerful than ever, Ash isn’t sure he can stop the evil from closing
in around him. </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Although Kendall is the only thing keeping him from going
over the edge,</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"> if he can’t
learn to balance out his magic and find a way to defeat his enemies once and
for all, both his world, and the girl he loves will be lost forever.</span><br />

<br />
I'm so sorry I've been MIA. I don't have any major excuses for slacking off on blogging. I will use my almost 18-month old as one though. He's into EVERYTHING. I've never had a child like this. He's so cute and sweet, but he's definitely a handful. It makes sitting down and writing a blog post kind of hard... Haha. :)<br />
<br />
We all have our outside of internet lives that keep us busy. And I'm trying to be better about blogging. We'll see how it goes this year.<br />
<br />
As for writing, I just finished another book. Just waiting for betas. And I'm almost finished with another, which is totally not even related to what I've been writing lately. It's a supernatural (kind of) thriller. Yeah. Not sure where that one came from. We'll see what happens with that... :)<br />
<br />
There's also some fun stuff going on this year too. My second book Not Your Average Happy Ending comes out March 3rd. It's been a long time coming, and I'm excited to share the cover on Valentines Day! :)<br />
<br />
Also, I'll be teaching a class on Rejection at <a href="http://ldstorymakers.com/">LDStorymakers </a>this year. Super excited for that too. It's an amazing conference in Utah, so if you have any desire to go to one, this is a great one to start with!<br />
<br />
I hope everyone is doing well! I've missed all of you and hopefully I'll get a permanent blogging schedule down soon.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful day!! :)<br />

<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
I'm so excited to be a part of Kelley and Jenny's cover reveal of their book ROAD TO SOMEWHERE! It sounds AMAZING. </div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
Since the book is about sisters, they had the fabulous idea to have everyone participating in the reveal add a little story or something about a sibling relationship.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
I didn't really choose a specific story, but I will say my siblings are my best friends. I have two sisters, and one brother. All younger. Growing up, we didn't have cousins close in age or a lot of friends on our street, so basically all we had were each other. And honestly, I wouldn't have had it any other way.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
Even now, married with four kids, I talk to both my sisters every single day. My brother would probably think it was weird to talk to him every day... Haha. But seriously, they're my very best friends. There are no other people I'd rather hang out with. We love each other, we 'get' each other. And I'm blessed to have them in my life.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; text-align: left;">
And now, all sappiness aside, here is the big reveal!! :D<br />

You are all amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing dreams come true next year! I hope the next few weeks will be awesome and filled with love from family and friends. I'll see you in 2014!! Until then, keep writing, keep dreaming and have a wonderful holiday break! Love you all!!Chantele Sedgwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306182475647359241.post-77152904787854445012013-12-13T08:41:00.002-08:002013-12-13T08:41:31.162-08:00Goals and Stuff. :)Can you believe 2013 is almost over? SERIOUSLY! Seriously. Freaking crazy. This year has been insane. But a good insane. :) At the end of each year, I like to look back on the goals I made in January to see how I did. And to see what goals I actually made...because I don't really look at them again after I write them. Yes. I'm weird.<br />
<br />
Let's see how I did!<br />
<br />
1. Polish Not Your Average Happy Ending. Turn into Editor so it can be published this year. <span style="color: purple;">DONE! But it won't be published until March, which is fine. At least I finished, right? Haha.</span><br />
<br />
2. Finish my WIP. It's a contemporary YA and it's scary writing so far
out of my magical fantasy comfort zone. But I love this book. And I
think it's a good thing it scares me so much. <span style="color: purple;">DONE! Fastest book I've ever written. And I love it. Love, Lucas will hit the shelves in Spring 2015!</span><br />
<br />
3. Query my WIP. I'm absolutely terrified of querying agents, but I'm
going to be brave and do it. You'd think I'd be a little more brave
since I've been there before, but no. That's why I'm so scared. Been
there. Done that. Hated it. <span style="color: purple;">DONE! And found my amazingly awesome agent, Nicole. :)</span><br />
<br />
4. Enjoy writing. Last year I was so caught up in what I was doing wrong
and so critical of myself, I lost the joy of writing for a while. I
only finished one book last year and gave up on a bunch of others for
that very reason. I'm getting back into loving it again. I'm done
stressing over if it's good enough to get an agent or not. I want to
just love the words, the stories and characters I write about. That's
enough for me. <span style="color: purple;">DONE! I'm loving writing again. I'll admit it's still hard, but I love seeing how much I grow with each book.</span><br />
<br />
5. Finish one more book and query it. <span style="color: purple;">DONE. Kind of. I did finish one more book, but my agent and I aren't shopping it around just yet...</span><br />
<br />
6. I'm going to blog more. I've missed it. I may have to do it only once
or twice a week, but as long as I'm blogging a little, I'll be happy.
:) <span style="color: purple;">DANG. I've been a horrible blogger this year. With my little 1-year old running around, school for the kidlets, dance classes, piano and soccer. (For the kidlets, not me...) Yes. They take up all my time. Hopefully I can do better next year. I miss all my bloggy friends. :)</span><br />
<br />
So much happened this year that I didn't expect to happen. I don't know how or why, but I'm so grateful to the people who have cheered me on through everything. I'm so excited to see good things happen next year. Not only in my life, but yours as well. Thank you for sticking with me this year, even though I don't post as often anymore. I'll do better. Hopefully. I'll be posting new goals in January, so I'll see you next year! ;) Bring on 2014!Chantele Sedgwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306182475647359241.post-76337490664429944772013-11-01T08:11:00.003-07:002013-11-01T08:16:50.443-07:00My Exciting News!!I've been dying to announce my news for a while, so when a few of my friends saw my announcement on Publisher's Marketplace this morning, I was SO EXCITED!<br />

I still can't believe it. I'm so excited and nervous and scared and SO happy! This book is so so special to me. It's the hardest, yet easiest book I've ever written. I know that may not make sense, but it does to me I guess. :) <br />
<br />
I'm so incredibly humbled to have so many amazing people that have helped me get this far. Thank you to EVERYONE! And a HUGE thanks to my awesome agent and all around amazing person, Nicole Resciniti. Without her, this never would have happened.<br />
<br />
I'm going to post about my journey to this point next week. And I might throw in a giveaway or two... But for now, I'm going to CELEBRATE! Have an amazing weekend everyone!!! :D <br />

So I asked <a href="http://jolenesbeenwriting.blogspot.com/">Jolene Perry</a> for ideas, since her blog is always super cute. She not only had ideas, she changed my whole blog look for me. SHE. IS. AWESOME!! Thank you Jo! All I need is a new author photo, which I'm working on. I'll have a new one up soon. :)<br />
<br />
So...what do you guys think? Like it? I love the simplicity of it all. :)<br />
<br />
Now to clean up my Facebook page... And I have no idea how to change my Twitter stuff. I thought I was pretty technology savvy, but obviously I was wrong. Maybe I should just ask my eight year old. Haha. I'm getting old. :PChantele Sedgwickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07920913211842919013noreply@blogger.com18
