My hands are shaking, and it’s definitely not from the three pots of tea and one latte.
2.5 years after I made the first notes.
1.5 years after I wrote the first lines.
The first draft of my next standalone novel is officially done.
135,000 words, on hunger, immortality, and rage. My Florence the Machine, my Lesbian ode to Anne Rice, my heart and bones book is down on paper, and I am so incredibly scared and overwhelmed. But right now, I’m also really fucking proud.

When people ask me what I’m working on…
#bookstagram #veschwab #shadesofmagic #threadsofpower #addielarue #toxiclesbianvampires #vampires
“For the ones who dream of stranger worlds.”
—A Darker Shade of Magic
“For the ones who fight their way forward.”
—A Gathering of Shadows
“For the ones who’ve found their way home.”
—A Conjuring of Light
And now…
“For the ones who still believe in magic.”
—The Fragile Threads of Power
It’s been a few years, but I cannot wait to welcome you back to these worlds.

Find beauty and love in The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by @veschwab — a dazzling book about a young woman’s extraordinary journey to find out how far she will go to leave her mark on the world. Read a sample at the link in bio.
Come with me on tour! High tea in #london is always a must, and entering through the crypt for my event at St. Pancras church made everything feel just right. #veschwab #addielarue #shadesofmagic #tourlife #grwm #behindthescenes #bookishlife #bookstagram

Started the year with tea and friends and story notes and a bingo card and a cold plunge in the North Sea to remind myself that I can do hard things. I don’t believe in resolutions but I do believe in this. A reminder that sometimes the hardest part is getting out of your own way.
Happy New Year, lovelies <3
I managed to read 120 books this year.
I’ll talk about my top 12 in tomorrow’s newsletter.
What was YOUR favorite book of the year?

What are you?” she asked.
“A monster,” said Kell hoarsely. “You’d better let me go.”
The girl gave a small, mocking laugh. “Monsters don’t faint in the presence of ladies.”
“Ladies don’t dress like men and pick pockets,” retorted Kell.
Her smile only sharpened. “What are you really?”
“Tied to your bed.”

And with that, my 2023 travel year comes to an end. What a journey it’s been. Guadalajara, you were a perfect finale. My bones are tired but my heart is full. Now, home. #veschwab #shadesofmagic #threadsofpower #filguadalajara #fantasy #authorlife #bts #bookishlove
Incredibly honored that The Fragile Threads of Power has been nominated for Best Fantasy over at @goodreads! It’s time to vote. Link in bio! #veschwab #threadsofpower #goodreadschoice #fantasy
We’ve reached the very last stop of my US&UK Tour celebrating the release of The Fragile Threads of Power. Edinburgh, I can’t think of any place I’d rather end this tour. Just as Threads was meant to feel like coming home, it’s only right that I do too. Thanks to my wonderful readers for making this whole journey so special. I’m so glad we got to celebrate together. #veschwab #threadsofpower #shadesofmagic #addielarue #tourlife #bookstagram #behindthescenes
They say don’t meet your heroes, but I say, take the chance. So, I did. When I saw @veschwab was going to be near me on book tour, I reached out to see if I could take some pictures of her. I had no hope of a response. But she said yes! I showed up with all my costumes piled high in my arms and I photographed Victoria in her hotel room. The whole shoot took 5 minutes!
I made her an image that represents how I see her as an artist: moving from one world into another, always bringing the light out of the dark.
Thank you, V, for the worlds you create and the characters you bring to life. I daresay you’re the best one.
Can’t believe I’ve reached the finale of the US tour. What a wild ride it’s been!

Come with me on tour! Cardiff was such a delight. I had some time to wonder and find a bit of magic before the event. Found a castle, some pups, tiny windows, and a spider web. I need to spend more time in this city. 🙂 #veschwab #shadesofmagic #threadsofpower #tourlife #authorlife #bookstagram #bookishadventures #cardiff
