Published in 2005, Twilight tells the story of teenager Bella Swan and her forbidden romance with vampire Edward Cullen. It quickly became a cultural phenomenon, followed by New Moon (2006), Eclipse (2007), and Breaking Dawn (2008). The series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and was adapted into a blockbuster five-film franchise starring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson.
Meyer has also written The Host (2008), a science-fiction romance for adult readers; The Chemist (2016), a thriller; and Midnight Sun (2020), which retells Twilight from Edward's perspective. She later founded Fickle Fish Films, producing adaptations of her own works.
Credited with revitalizing vampire fiction for a new generation, Meyer profoundly shaped the landscape of young adult literature. She lives in Arizona with her husband and their three sons, and continues to write and develop film projects.
