Veronica Roth

Veronica Roth is a critically acclaimed young adult author whose Divergent trilogy and Carve the Mark duology have earned her a worldwide fanbase. From a young age, Roth's passion for writing stories and creating new worlds made her an ideal candidate for the fast-paced world of YA fantasy writing.

Roth was born in New York City and raised in the Chicago suburbs. Growing up, she was always an avid reader, devouring books by authors such as JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis, JK Rowling, and others. As she grew older, she became enamored with the idea of writing her own stories and developing her own worlds.

Her first book, Divergent, was published in 2011 and quickly became a New York Times Bestseller. It follows the story of a dystopian society in which people are divided into five distinct factions, each with its own beliefs and values. The main character, a sixteen-year-old girl named Beatrice, discovers she does not fit into any of the factions and embarks on an adventure to find out who she is and where she belongs. Divergent was hailed as one of the biggest YA debuts in years, and was followed by Insurgent (2012) and Allegiant (2013). All three books in the series have been adapted into films.

Roth's next novel, Carve the Mark, was released in 2017. This story follows Cyra and Akos, two characters from different worlds whose lives become intertwined when they both receive a mysterious power. The duo must struggle to find a way to survive in a dangerous universe while facing obstacles of prejudices and betrayals. A sequel, The Fates Divide, followed in 2018.

Roth has continued her success as an author, penning several short stories and a spin-off novel of the Divergent trilogy called Four: A Divergent Collection. In 2019, Roth announced that she is working on a new YA fantasy series.

Apart from her writing career, Roth is a prominent social media influencer. She regularly uses her various accounts to engage her fans, share her writing process, and promote causes she believes in.

Roth's writing has earned her numerous awards, including the Goodreads Choice Award for Best Book of the Year for both Divergent and Insurgent, the People's Choice Award for Favorite Book of the year for Allegiant and a Harper Award.

Veronica Roth continues to be an inspiration to many authors and readers alike. Her success as a critically acclaimed New York Times Bestselling author is matched only by her dedication to her craft and her commitment to her readers.
