Alice Oseman writes warm, honest stories about teenagers and queer life. She published her first novel while still at university. Heartstopper began as a free online comic about two schoolboys falling in love. It grew into a run of bestselling graphic novels. The Netflix series won awards and a devoted global fanbase. She wrote and helped shape every episode. Her novel Loveless brought rare attention to asexual characters. She is one of the most influential young adult authors of her time.
