Stephenie Meyer is an American novelist focused on young adult fantasy, romance, and supernatural fiction.

전기 및 작가의 여정

Stephenie Meyer was born on December 24, 1973, in Hartford, Connecticut, and was raised in Phoenix, Arizona. She studied English literature at Brigham Young University, graduating in 1997, and before her literary career took shape she was primarily occupied with family life as a homemaker and mother. The decisive break came on June 2, 2003, when she woke from a vivid dream of a human girl and a vampire in conversation in a meadow. Writing around childcare and household routines, often late at night, she drafted Twilight in roughly three months. A further turning point came when her sister Emily encouraged her to seek publication; after querying agents, Meyer signed with Jodi Reamer, and Little, Brown acquired the manuscript, transforming an unpublished writer into a major new figure in young adult fiction.
