He has captivated millions of readers with his ability to portray the raw emotions of adolescence. Born in Indiana and raised across various US states, his own youth, marked by bullying and obsessive-compulsive disorder, led him to consider the priesthood, which is reflected in the psychological depth of his works. After a transformative experience as a volunteer in a children's hospital, he studied Literature in Chicago and debuted in 2005 with Looking for Alaska, winner of the Printz Award. His global fame was cemented with works like The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns, both with successful film adaptations.
