'''John Michael Green''' (born August 24, 1977) is an American author and [[YouTuber]]. His books have more than 50 million copies in print worldwide, including ''[[The Fault in Our Stars]]'' (2012), which is one of the [[List of best-selling books#Between 20 million and 50 million copies|best-selling books of all time]]. Green's rapid rise to fame and idiosyncratic voice are credited with creating a major shift in the [[young adult fiction]] market. Green is also well known for his work in online video, most notably his YouTube ventures with his younger brother [[Hank Green]].
His second novel is ''[[An Abundance of Katherines]]'' (2006), and the ALA awarded it too, this time as a 2007 Michael L. Printz Award Honor Book.
 
Born in [[Indianapolis]], Indiana, Green was raised in [[Orlando, Florida]], before attending boarding school outside of [[Birmingham, Alabama]]. He attended [[Kenyon College]], graduating with a double major in [[English studies|English]] and [[religious studies]] in 2000. Green then spent six months as a student chaplain at a children's hospital. He reconsidered his path and began working at ''[[Booklist]]'' in Chicago while writing his first novel. His [[debut novel]] ''[[Looking for Alaska]]'' (2005) was awarded the 2006 [[Michael L. Printz Award]]. While living in New York City, Green published his second novel, ''[[An Abundance of Katherines]]'' (2006). Starting on January 1, 2007, [[Green brothers|John and his brother Hank]] launched the [[Vlogbrothers]] YouTube channel, a series of [[vlog]]s submitted to one another on alternating weekdays; the videos spawned an active online-based community called [[Nerdfighteria]] and an annual [[telethon]]-style fundraiser called [[Project for Awesome]], both of which have persisted and grown over time.
Green attended Indian Springs School, a boarding and day school outside of Birmingham, Alabama.
 
John moved back to Indianapolis in 2007, and published three novels over the next three years: ''[[Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances]]'' (2008, with [[Maureen Johnson]] and [[Lauren Myracle]]); his third solo novel, ''[[Paper Towns (novel)|Paper Towns]]'' (2008); and ''[[Will Grayson, Will Grayson]]'' (2010, with [[David Levithan]]). From 2010 to 2013, John and Hank launched several online video projects, including [[VidCon]], an annual conference for the online video community, and ''[[Crash Course (YouTube)|Crash Course]]'' (2011–present), a wide-ranging educational channel. Green's 2012 novel, ''The Fault in Our Stars'', and [[The Fault in Our Stars (film)|the 2014 film adaptation]] were massive commercial and critical successes, leading to several other film and television adaptations of his work. He was included in ''[[Time (magazine)|Time]]'' magazine's 2014 [[Time 100|list of the 100 most influential people in the world]].
Green currently resides in [[New York City]].
 
Green's subsequent projects, his novel ''[[Turtles All the Way Down (novel)|Turtles All the Way Down]]'' (2017) and ''[[The Anthropocene Reviewed]]'' (2018–2021), dealt more directly with his [[Anxiety disorder|anxiety]] and [[obsessive–compulsive disorder]]. ''The Anthropocene Reviewed'' began as a podcast in January 2018, with Green reviewing different facets of the [[Anthropocene]] on a [[Star (classification)|five-star scale]]. He adapted the podcast into [[The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet|his first nonfiction book]] in 2021.

Green's second nonfiction book, ''[[Everything Is Tuberculosis]]'', was released in March 2025.

While working at ''Booklist'', Green met author [[Ilene Cooper]], whose example persuaded him he could write a novel, saying, "I saw that real people like Ilene wrote books; they weren't written in [[ivory tower]]s."<ref name="10YearsAlaska" /> Cooper invited Green to lunch to discuss his future. She set a deadline for Green to present her with a draft of his first book, which Green failed to present to her twice over.<ref name="FlyingStart2005" /> Near the end of 2001, Green suffered from a [[mental health]] crisis so severe he could not eat, and instead drank only [[two-liter bottle]]s of [[Sprite (drink)|Sprite]].

The structure was partially inspired by Green's reaction to the [[September 11 attacks|terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001]], months prior, and its status as a dividing line in history and in people's lives.<ref name="LfAReadersGuide">{{cite web |title=Looking for Alaska by John Green – Reading Guide: 9780525556541 |url=https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/292717/looking-for-alaska-by-john-green/9780593109069/readers-guide/ |access-date=March 2, 2023 |work=PenguinRandomhouse.com |archive-date=March 2, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230302174650/https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/292717/looking-for-alaska-by-john-green/9780593109069/readers-guide/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In January 2018, Green launched ''[[The Anthropocene Reviewed]]'', a solo podcast where he reviews different facets of the [[Anthropocene]], the [[Epoch (geology)|epoch]] that includes significant [[human impact on the environment]], on a [[five-star scale]]. This can include completely artificial products like [[Diet Dr. Pepper]], natural species that have had their fates altered by human influence like the [[Canada goose]], or phenomena that only influence humanity such as [[Halley's Comet]]. Episodes typically contained Green reviewing two topics, accompanied by stories on how they have impacted his life.<ref name="6Things">{{Cite news |last=Puang |first=Serena |date=May 18, 2021 |title=6 things to know about John Green's newest book |language=en |work=The Indianapolis Star |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/arts/2021/05/18/new-john-green-book-the-anthropocene-reviewed-nonfiction-memoir/4961393001/ |url-status=live |access-date=June 3, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211002103610/https://www.indystar.com/restricted/?return=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indystar.com%2Fstory%2Fentertainment%2Farts%2F2021%2F05%2F18%2Fnew-john-green-book-the-anthropocene-reviewed-nonfiction-memoir%2F4961393001%2F |archive-date=October 2, 2021}}</ref><ref name="GoodBadFatal">{{Cite news |last=Lindquist |first=David |title=John Green's 'Anthropocene Reviewed' podcast critiques the good, bad and fatal |work=The Indianapolis Star |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/arts/2018/10/07/john-greens-anthropocene-reviewed-critiques-good-bad-and-fatal/1483261002/ |access-date=November 9, 2021 |archive-date=September 26, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210926040639/https://www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/arts/2018/10/07/john-greens-anthropocene-reviewed-critiques-good-bad-and-fatal/1483261002/ |url-status=live }}</ref> At the end of 2018, the Green brothers partnered with [[WNYC Studios]] to bring all of their podcasts, including ''The Anthropocene Reviewed'', to the distributor.<ref name="WNYCPartner">{{Cite news |last=Locker |first=Melissa |date=November 8, 2018 |title=Exclusive: John and Hank Green have a slate of podcasts coming to WNYC Studios |language=en-US |work=[[Fast Company]] |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/90264626/exclusive-john-and-hank-green-have-a-slate-of-podcasts-coming-to-wnyc-studios |url-status=live |access-date=August 2, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190802193238/https://www.fastcompany.com/90264626/exclusive-john-and-hank-green-have-a-slate-of-podcasts-coming-to-wnyc-studios |archive-date=August 2, 2019}}</ref>

However, after five years with no progress on the project, Green told fans that, while he "desperately loved" the screenplay, there seemed to be little interest at Paramount.<ref name="LfAMovieNYT">{{Cite news |last=Lyons |first=Margaret |date=October 17, 2019 |title=Review: 'Looking For Alaska' but Finding Talky Teens |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/arts/television/looking-for-alaska-review.html |access-date=December 15, 2021 |archive-date=December 15, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211215192754/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/17/arts/television/looking-for-alaska-review.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="movies">{{Cite web |date=June 2010 |title=Movie Questions |url=http://johngreenbooks.com/movie-questions/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622024125/http://johngreenbooks.com/movie-questions/ |archive-date=June 22, 2013 |access-date=March 8, 2013 |publisher=JohnGreenBooks.com}}</ref> In 2012, the book reached ''The New York Times'' Best Seller list for children's paperbacks.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Cowles |first=Gregory |date=July 29, 2012 |title=Best Sellers – Children's Paperback Books |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2012-07-29/paperback-books/list.html |access-date=February 25, 2017 |archive-date=March 5, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305170644/http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2012-07-29/paperback-books/list.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Finally, in May 2018, it was announced that ''Looking for Alaska'' would be made into a [[Hulu]] series with Schwartz and others on board.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=May 10, 2018 |title=Hulu Ordering 'Looking For Alaska' Limited Series From Josh Schwartz Based On John Green's Novel From Paramount TV |url=https://deadline.com/2018/05/hulu-looking-for-alaska-limited-series-josh-schwartz-based-john-green-novel-paramount-tv-1202386880/ |website=deadline.com |access-date=February 6, 2019 |archive-date=April 7, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200407230800/https://deadline.com/2018/05/hulu-looking-for-alaska-limited-series-josh-schwartz-based-john-green-novel-paramount-tv-1202386880/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The casting was announced in October 2018.<ref name="LfACast2018">{{cite news |last1=McHenry |first1=Jackson |title=The John Green Looking for Alaska Adaptation Has Finally Cast Its Stars |url=https://www.vulture.com/2018/10/looking-for-alaska-movie-cast-kristine-froseth-charlie-plummer.html |access-date=March 23, 2023 |work=Vulture |date=October 30, 2018 |language=en-us |archive-date=September 29, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240929072332/https://www.vulture.com/2018/10/looking-for-alaska-movie-cast-kristine-froseth-charlie-plummer.html |url-status=live }}</ref> ''[[Looking for Alaska (TV series)|Looking for Alaska]]'' was released to Hulu on October 18, 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Framke |first=Caroline |date=October 15, 2019 |title=TV Review: 'Looking for Alaska' |url=https://variety.com/2019/tv/reviews/looking-for-alaska-review-hulu-john-green-2-1203368328/ |access-date=October 24, 2019 |website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] |archive-date=August 12, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220812084028/https://variety.com/2019/tv/reviews/looking-for-alaska-review-hulu-john-green-2-1203368328/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The series was critically well-received, with Kathryn VanArendonk of ''[[Vulture (magazine)|Vulture]]'' calling it a "rare adaptation that dismantles the original in order to build something that works better."<ref>{{Cite web |last=VanArendonk |first=Kathryn |date=October 8, 2019 |title=Looking for Alaska Is the Rare Adaptation That Improves on the Original |url=https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/looking-for-alaska-hulu-miniseries-review.html |access-date=July 16, 2022 |website=Vulture |archive-date=July 16, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220716045232/https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/looking-for-alaska-hulu-miniseries-review.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Looking for Alaska: Season 1 |url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/looking-for-alaska/season-1 |access-date=October 18, 2019 |website=[[Metacritic]] |archive-date=October 2, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201002132248/https://www.metacritic.com/tv/looking-for-alaska/season-1 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Looking for Alaska: Season 1 (2019) |url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/looking_for_alaska/s01 |access-date=September 21, 2021 |website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |archive-date=October 30, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191030081927/https://rottentomatoes.com/tv/looking_for_alaska/s01 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The charity was first selected as one of the "designated charities" the following year, meaning Green and the other organizers had chosen for it to receive a large portion of the funds raised, totaling $291,000.

While reviewing the Andrew Smith young-adult novel, ''Winger'', [[A. J.

Critics have also noted Green's evolution as an author. With the release of the ''Turtles All the Way Down'' in 2017, several reviewers referenced a dismissive perception of Green's now very popular ''œuvre'' as "sad teen books", which had emerged since the success of ''The Fault in Our Stars''. Despite this, they praised ''Turtles All the Way Down'' as truthful and authentic enough to transcend these imagined drawbacks. Matt Haig of ''[[The Guardian]]'' wrote, "[''Turtles All the Way Down''] often dwells in cliché, but only as pop songs and epic poems do, mining the universal to create something that speaks to the familiar rhythms of the heart. It might just be a new modern classic."<ref name="VoxTAtWD2017">{{cite news |last1=Grady |first1=Constance |title=John Green's new book is not a quirky sad romance.

Green has received criticism for his perceived writing of "[[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]s", a term coined by [[Nathan Rabin]] to describe a female character that, "exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures".<ref name="MicDeconstructs" /><ref name="NewStatesmanMPDG" /><ref name="rabin">{{Cite web |last=Rabin |first=Nathan |author-link=Nathan Rabin |date=January 25, 2007 |title=My Year Of Flops, Case File 1: ''Elizabethtown'': The Bataan Death March of Whimsy |url=https://www.avclub.com/the-bataan-death-march-of-whimsy-case-file-1-elizabet-1798210595 |access-date=January 5, 2010 |website=[[The A.V.

In October 2022, Green tweeted, "I think basically all criticisms of my work are correct and justifiable other than the most popular one, 'he writes manic pixie dream girls,' which is just so stupid. [...] THE WHOLE POINT OF THE NOVELS is the danger of such misimagining, hence the eventual revelation: 'Margo was not a miracle. She was not an adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl.' It's not like I made it subtle." Despite this, some critics have questioned whether the story adequately deconstructed the trope, or merely perpetuated it.<ref name="MicDeconstructs" /><ref name="NewStatesmanMPDG" /> Green has readily discussed what he believes to be flaws in his novels when he looked at them in retrospect.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Bruno |first=Audrey |date=May 25, 2015 |title=John Green on What He Would Change About His Novels If He Had the Chance |work=[[Vulture (magazine)|Vulture]] |url=https://www.vulture.com/2015/05/john-green-on-what-he-would-change-about-his-novels.html |access-date=June 22, 2015 |archive-date=September 29, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240929072933/https://www.vulture.com/2015/05/john-green-on-what-he-would-change-about-his-novels.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Additionally, in response to a fan's [[Twitter|tweet]], Green apologized for using the word ''[[retard (pejorative)|retarded]]'' in ''Paper Towns'', stating, "Yeah, I regret it.

Still, now... eight years later, I don't feel like a book about humanizing the other benefited from dehumanizing language."<ref name="People2015">{{Cite news |date=June 12, 2015 |title=John Green Lashes Out Against 'Accusations of Pedophilia' |language=en |work=People |url=https://people.com/books/john-green-lashes-out-against-accusations-of-pedophilia/ |access-date=October 5, 2022 |archive-date=October 5, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221005193427/https://people.com/books/john-green-lashes-out-against-accusations-of-pedophilia/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

In August 2023, ''The Fault in Our Stars'' was removed from the young adult section at a library in the [[Indianapolis metropolitan area|Indianapolis suburb]] of [[Fishers, Indiana]], and moved to the general collection after a policy decision was made by the library's board that targeted "language about sexuality and reproduction, profanity and criminal acts." Green responded with a letter to the board, stating the library should "walk this awful policy back and allow the real experts to decide where to shelve my books and those of my colleagues." A Twitter post he made stating, "You Won't Catch Me Alive or Dead in Fishers, Indiana" was turned into a t-shirt by a local clothing company, with proceeds being donated to the [[Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library]].<ref name="LudicrousAugust2023">{{cite news |last1=Fradette |first1=Rachel |title='Ludicrous': John Green's 'Fault in Our Stars' pulled from young adult shelf in HamCo |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/2023/08/09/john-green-book-fault-stars-pulled-young-adult-section-hamilton-east-public-library-indiana/70558521007/ |access-date=11 August 2023 |work=The Indianapolis Star |date=9 August 2023 |archive-date=August 11, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230811141200/https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/2023/08/09/john-green-book-fault-stars-pulled-young-adult-section-hamilton-east-public-library-indiana/70558521007/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="NBCNewsAugust2023">{{cite news |last1=Tolentino |first1=Daysia |title=John Green criticizes public library for removing his novel from young adult section |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/john-green-hamilton-public-library-the-fault-in-our-stars-removal-rcna99044 |access-date=11 August 2023 |work=NBC News |date=10 August 2023 |language=en |archive-date=August 11, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230811141358/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/john-green-hamilton-public-library-the-fault-in-our-stars-removal-rcna99044 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="AliveOrDeadAug2023">{{cite news |last1=Christy |first1=Matt |title='You won't catch me alive or dead in Fishers': John Green quote slamming Hamilton East library turned into t-shirt |url=https://fox59.com/indiana-news/you-wont-catch-me-alive-or-dead-in-fishers-john-green-quote-slamming-hamilton-east-library-turned-into-t-shirt/ |access-date=11 August 2023 |work=Fox 59 |date=10 August 2023}}</ref> After the move received significant attention, the board decided to move the novel back to the Young Adult section, later suspending the policy responsible all together.<ref name="StarHEPLInterview">{{cite news |last1=Fradette |first1=Rachel |title=John Green says library controversy over teen books is bad for business, students |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/education/2023/08/31/john-green-fault-in-our-stars-author-indiana-book-banning-hepl/70697743007/ |access-date=31 August 2023 |work=The Indianapolis Star |date=31 August 2023 |archive-date=August 31, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230831140930/https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/education/2023/08/31/john-green-fault-in-our-stars-author-indiana-book-banning-hepl/70697743007/ |url-status=live }}</ref> In October, Green discussed book banning at an event hosted by Indiana State Senator [[Andrea Hunley]] at the [[Indianapolis Central Library]].<ref name="October2023Event">{{cite news |last1=Fradette |first1=Rachel |title=John Green talks to Indy fans about banned books access and other things close to his heart |url=https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/2023/10/03/john-green-banned-books-hepl-indianapolis-public-library-awesome-socks-club-awesome-coffee-club/71037869007/ |access-date=4 October 2023 |work=The Indianapolis Star |date=3 October 2023 |archive-date=October 10, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231010012959/https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/2023/10/03/john-green-banned-books-hepl-indianapolis-public-library-awesome-socks-club-awesome-coffee-club/71037869007/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
