The Twilight novels have gained worldwide recognition, won multiple literary awards and sold over 70 million copies worldwide,[1] with translations into 37 different languages around the globe.[2][3] A film adaptation of Twilight was released in the United States on November 21, 2008. Meyer is also the author of the adult science-fiction novel The Host.
Meyer was named USA Today‘s “Author of the Year” in 2008.[4] She was also the biggest selling author of the year, having sold over 29 million books in 2008 alone,[5][6] with Twilight being the best selling book of the year.[7] Meyer was ranked #49 on Time magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in 2008,[8] and was also included in the Forbes Celebrity 100 list of the world’s most powerful celebrities in 2009, entering at #26 with annual earnings exceeding $50 million.[9]
Stephenie Meyer was born in Hartford, Connecticut, to Stephen and Candy Morgan. She grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, with five siblings: Seth, Emily, Jacob, Paul, and Heidi. She attended Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Arizona. She then attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she received a B.A. in English in 1997.[10] Meyer met her husband Christian, nicknamed “Pancho”, when she was growing up in Arizona, and married him in 1994 when they both were 21. Together they have three sons: Gabe, Seth, and Eli. Christian Meyer, formerly an auditor, has now retired to take care of the children.[11]
Meyer is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and has stated that she is “straitlaced” about her beliefs, and does not drink alcohol or smoke. [12] Meyer had never written even a short story before Twilight, and had considered going to law school because she felt she had no chance of becoming a writer; she later noted that the birth of her oldest son Gabe changed her mind, saying, “Once I had Gabe, I just wanted to be his mom.”[12] Before becoming an author, Meyer’s only professional work was as a receptionist in a property company.[11]
Meyer currently lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, and also owns a $1.3 million home on Marrowstone Island, Washington.[13]
