SEE EFFIE’S STYLE IN ACTION
From head to stylish toe, Effie is an expert at mixing party-perfect with on-the-job chic.
My school had this week called, “I Believe” Week and one of the days was “I believe in my story.”
People wrote on these note cards starting with “If you really knew me you would know that…”
Some of these notecards said:
- “If you really knew me, you’d know that I was raped by my older brother everday.”
- “If you really knew me, you’d know that my mom is a heroin addict and it’s tearing my family apart.”
- “If you really knew me, you’d know that I had cancer when I was 5 and people made fun of me because I was different and didn’t have hair.”
- “If you really knew me, you’d know that I was sexually harassed and abused as a child.
- “If you really knew me, you’d know that I suffer from depression and I’ve attempted suicide.”
- If you really knew me, you’d know that I got into a car crash with my best friend and I held her in my arms, blood everywhere. RIP.
When people came up to read these note cards, a lot of them started crying. It made many people realize that everyone has a story and that you’re not alone.

50 million Americans haven’t read a book in the past 12 months. As a business, THAT’S our #1 problem—not format or distribution models.

Where I Work: Maggie Stiefvater
I am, in fact, perfectly capable of writing anywhere. I traveled so much for the books last year that I had to learn how to work anywhere—I wrote The Raven Boys on planes and trains, in hotel rooms and the backseats of cars, tucked into the corner of conferences and sitting in a quiet room at a dairy farm. The most important thing for me is music; I always have to have my headphones on while I work, and then I’m all right.
Now. Just because I can work anywhere doesn’t mean I don’t have a favorite place. This year, my husband and I bought our first house (and hopefully our last one), and I’ve finally got my office precisely how I like it. During the day, I answer e-mails and revise manuscripts at my desk. I have a yoga ball chair because I’m not good at sitting still, and it lets me sit still while not sitting still. And then in the evening, when I’m tired of bouncing and e-mails, I collapse into the chair in the corner, fire up my laptop, and do most of my writing in the evening after the business world has quieted down.
