I’m searching for the name of the page you tried to visit... was it one of these?

  1. Morphos in the News

    Remember that scene in Uglies with the morphos? When Tally and Shay play with a digital version of their face to see what they’ll look like as pretties? Well, a group of Israeli computer scientists have developed something similar: a “beautification engine” that automatically renders photos of faces into (supposedly) prettier versions of themselves. I’m […]

  2. Last Days News

    First thing: According to G. Jules, The Last Days (sequel to Peeps) has appeared in the wild (Indiana, specifically)! So presumably it’s leaking onto bookstore shelves everywhere. Go and buy it! Has anyone spotted the paperback new version of Peeps? For those of you who haven’t been following my appearances page, I have a couple […]

  3. Specials Cover + News!

    So S&S have been promising to send me the cover photo of Specials, but haven’t yet. And lo, I find this on Amazon? It seems to be missing a tagline. Uglies: “In a world of extreme beauty, anyone normal is ugly.” Pretties: “What happens when perfection isn’t good enough?” Specials: “???” Discuss . . . […]

  4. Horizon

    My next novel is the first in a seven-book series called Horizon. It comes out soon: January 17, 2017. (It’s already out!) Horizon is about a group of kids who are in a mysterious plane crash. When they step from the wreckage, they find themselves stranded, at odds, and in a jungle full of strange […]

  5. Spill Zone

    Exciting news: I have a graphic novel coming out in May 2017, but you can start reading it now! It’s called Spill Zone. It’s set in the aftermath of an unexplained event that destroyed a small city in upstate New York. It follows a pair of sisters orphaned by the Spill. The oldest, Addison, is […]

  6. Horizon! (new series announcement)

    I have a new series of books coming! (Also, some new appearances to announce, including SDCC. See below for details, but first:) This seven-book series is called Horizon. It’s about a group of kids who are in a mysterious plane crash and “step from the wreckage to find themselves stranded, at odds, and under threat […]

  7. Afterworlds in PW

    Publishers Weekly has a lovely article about my next novel, Afterworlds, which comes out September 23. Click here to read it. The piece has lots of interesting details about the book, and some bonus news about the super secret Uglies deal I’ve been working on for the last few months. (More on that in the […]

  8. My US Trip

    Justine and I have spent the last six weeks traveling in the US, which is why there have been zero postings here. Apologies! I realize that this hasn’t been a very bloggy year for me, but it has been a writey year, and which would you rather have, really? Let me take you on a […]

  9. Photographs Aren’t Real

    As the guy who wrote Uglies, there are certain kinds of news stories that are forwarded to me by everyone. Hi-tech tattoos, bizarre plastic surgery, stuff that hovers, and of course anything having to do with beauty. So it was no surprise that a recent story about the Miss Korea contest flooded my inbox. The […]

  10. Take a Writing Class with Me

    Writing boot camps are workshops where you live for a week (or several) and focus completely on the written word. It’s a very intense experience, one that can change your writing style, your relationship to books, and even your life. Some famous camps like Clarion list many famous writers as their alums. The most well-known […]
