Kody Keplinger

Kody Keplinger is a romance, young adult, and humor author from New York City. Keplinger was born in a very small town in Kentucky and had very few choices for high school as there was just one for the entire county. Everyone she knew went to the same high school and there were just about a hundred students in her graduating class. This was very small as compared to what you would have in a major city. At the school, she had basic English classes, and an advanced one like the AP class and the honors English class. As such, she never had any training in creative writing and much of her writing in the early days was in her regular English classes which everyone had to do anyway. Nonetheless, the USA Today and New York Times bestselling author is the author of several novellas, a middle-grade novel, four young adult titles. She is also the author of “The Duff,” a blockbuster title that is set to be made into a movie starring Robbie Amell and Mae Whitman. The most amazing thing about this is that she achieved all of it by the time she was just 24. Kody now lives in New York City and continues to write young adult and fantasy while teaching writing workshops on the side.
