Veronica Roth

Biography

Veronica Roth graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in creative writing. While she was a student, she often chose to work on the story that would become 'Divergent' instead of doing her homework. It was indeed a transforming choice. Now a full-time writer, Ms Roth lives near Chicago. 'Divergent' is her first novel.


Veronica Roth thanks her fans for making both DIVERGENT and INSURGENT #1 New York Times bestsellers!

Detergent, AKA Book 3

posted on Monday 14th of May 2012

Now that many of you are finished with Insurgent, I am often asked when book 3 will be coming out. We still don't have an official month and day, but I do have more information-- book 3 is scheduled to release next fall, Fall 2013. I know that's over a year away, and that seems like forever. The reason it's so distant is pretty simple: I need more time to write and edit and polish it, so that when you get it, it's the best book 3 I could possibly...

#1s. (WHAT?!)

posted on Wednesday 9th of May 2012

When you are secretly Abnegation (which I am beginning to figure out that I am), it can be difficult to publicly celebrate when good things happen because you're like "OMG, am I talking about this too much? Am I making other people uncomfortable? Do they think I'm a pompous jackass?" etc. For this reason I usually choose to celebrate privately, via happy dance in my apartment or delicious dessert or something. But this is a public event, made pos...

FYI: E-Mail

posted on Tuesday 8th of May 2012

Okay, so, I used to have an e-mail address that I shared publicly, but that was back when it was just me and my blog that barely anyone read and my book that was not on shelves yet, etc. I loved those times-- I love these times, too, though for different reasons, but one of the reasons I loved the old times was that my e-mail load was pretty manageable and I could respond to each one without it adding too much stress to my life.However, it's gott...

Belatedly, Five Factions, Five Days: Erudite, Candor, and Abnegation

posted on Saturday 5th of May 2012

I know that some of the blogger faction contest participants were disappointed that I didn't post these pictures when I was supposed to. I wasn't really thinking of the contest part of things when I was doing these pictures-- I was just trying to direct my blog readers to the facebook page so they could see all the cool things happening there and participate in celebrating each faction. If I had known how important it was to some of you, I would ...

Errors: Why They Happen, How to Better Avoid Them

posted on Friday 4th of May 2012

Several people have pointed out to me, with the best of intentions, that there are a few copyediting/consistency errors in Insurgent. I'm not going to tell you what they are, because some people won't catch them and I don't want to spoil the read for them. Just know that if you read something and get confused and think you might be misreading or misinterpreting, it might not be your mistake, but rather mine.I just wanted to talk about why these e...
