Adalyn Grace is a name that has quickly become a favorite among readers of young adult fantasy. But her journey to becoming a bestselling author wasn’t something that happened overnight. In fact, her story is just as magical and inspiring as the worlds she creates in her books.

Born with a passion for storytelling, Adalyn knew as early as eight years old that she wanted to tell stories. At first, she thought this meant directing movies or working in film. But like many of us growing up on the internet, she stumbled into a new world—roleplaying boards on Neopets, of all places. That’s where it all began. What started as a casual hobby soon turned into a deeper love for creating characters, imagining new worlds, and shaping narratives.

Adalyn graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State University at just nineteen, which already tells you how driven and dedicated she is. Before fully diving into writing, she explored different creative paths. She was the managing editor of a nonprofit newspaper, interned at Nickelodeon Animation on the hit show The Legend of Korra, and even spent four years working in live theater. All these experiences added layers to her storytelling ability—but deep down, writing her own stories was always her true calling.

She now splits her time between Arizona and San Diego, sharing her life with two lovable dogs and one sassy, bossy cat. Writing is her full-time job, though when she’s not at her desk, she’s probably hunting down the best burrito in town, binge-watching anime, or losing herself in video games. She lives life with creativity at her core, both on and off the page.

Adalyn is known for her structured and no-nonsense approach to writing. She doesn’t believe in waiting for inspiration to strike. Instead, she treats writing like a job: she writes every day, often fast-drafting two thousand words or more when working on a new project. For her, it’s all about staying in the chair and doing the work—even if that work feels like pulling teeth some days. Drafting might be her least favorite part of the process (she wishes stories could just appear on the page!), but she truly loves worldbuilding and developing characters. Magic systems, rules of fantasy worlds, and the possibilities of creation are her playground.

Her road to publishing wasn’t smooth. Before All the Stars and Teeth, Adalyn spent five years working on a YA sci-fi novel. She revised it countless times and even participated in Pitch Wars, receiving attention from agents—but no offers. She queried over a hundred agents and still came up short. That experience taught her the hardest lesson: sometimes, it’s okay to let go. Once she finally moved on from that manuscript, magic happened. In just five weeks, she wrote the first draft of All the Stars and Teeth, revised it twice, and landed multiple agent offers within 24 hours of querying.

All the Stars and Teeth, released in 2020, was named the biggest YA fantasy of the year by Entertainment Weekly. It introduced readers to the fierce and unforgettable Princess Amora Montara, a high-stakes magical world full of vengeful mermaids, soul magic, sea monsters, and a swoonworthy pirate named Bastian. The novel’s blend of dark fantasy, lush world-building, and romantic tension quickly earned Adalyn a devoted fan base.

Since then, Adalyn Grace has continued to carve out her place as a bold, imaginative voice in YA fantasy. Her books are packed with emotion, adventure, and unforgettable characters. Whether you’re diving into stormy seas or battling legendary creatures, her stories will sweep you away and make you feel every twist and turn along the journey.

Adalyn’s story reminds us that failure isn’t the end—it’s part of the path. With passion, persistence, and a bit of magic, she turned her dream into reality. And luckily for us, she’s just getting started.
