Социальные сети:

Marissa Meyer is an American novelist best known for young adult fantasy and science fiction retellings. She wrote The Lunar Chronicles, Heartless, the Renegades trilogy, and the Gilded duology. Her books have been New York Times bestsellers and translated internationally, helping popularize fairy-tale reimaginings for teen readers.

Биография и Путь Автора

Marissa Meyer’s career grew from a long, early attachment to story into one of the most recognizable bodies of work in contemporary young adult fiction. She studied creative writing at Pacific Lutheran University and later earned a master’s degree in publishing from Pace University, pairing literary ambition with practical knowledge of how books are made. Before becoming a full-time author, she worked as an editor and later as a freelance typesetter and proofreader. An important formative turn came in her teens, when anime and fanfiction opened a participatory writing world: under the pen name Alicia Blade, she completed more than forty Sailor Moon fanfics, gaining both discipline and an audience before ever publishing a novel.
