Biography

Oseman secured her first publishing deal at the age of 17, for Solitaire, a YA novel that deftly captured the experience of twenty-first century adolescence. Two more novels followed swiftly after, Radio Silence and I Was Born for This. All of Oseman’s books have been praised for the diversity of their characters and the complexity of the issues they tackle. Two breakout characters from Solitaire, Nick and Charlie, went on to star in their own webcomic called Heartstopper, collected in four volumes with more instalments to follow. In 2022, Oseman adapted Heartstopper as a highly acclaimed Netflix show.
