Jennifer Niven

When she was young, Jennifer Niven wanted to be one of Charlie's Angels, but her true love is writing books. "All the Bright Places" is her first book for a young audience and was immediately met with universal acclaim both in America (spending over thirty weeks on the New York Times bestseller list) and worldwide (translated into forty languages and available in over a hundred countries). It was honored as the Best Young Adult Book of 2015 by Goodreads, Time Magazine, NPR, The Guardian, Publisher’s Weekly, YALSA, Barnes & Noble, BuzzFeed, the New York Public Library, among others. It was also shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Children’s Fiction Prize. She created Germ (www.germmagazine.com), an online magazine run by high school girls and boys, which talks about beginnings, possibilities, and all the wonderful and nerve-wracking things that happen in between. She lives with her partner and their literary cats in Los Angeles.
