John Michael Green (born August 24, 1977) is an American author, YouTube content creator, podcaster, and philanthropist. He won the 2006 Printz Award for his debut novel, Looking for Alaska, and all of his books have appeared on the The New York Times Best Seller list, with most debuting at number one. His books have more than 50 million copies in print worldwide, including his 2012 novel, The Fault in Our Stars, which is one of the best-selling books of all time. The 2014 film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars opened at number one at the box office and was a commercial and critical success, leading to several other film and television adaptations of his work. That same year, Green was included in Time (magazine) magazine's list of The 100 Most Influential People in the World. Green's rapid rise to fame and idiosyncratic voice are credited with creating a major shift in the young adult fiction market.

Aside from being a novelist, Green is well known for his online content creation, most notably his YouTube ventures with his brother Hank Green. In 2007, the Green brothers launched the Vlogbrothers channel, which spawned an active online-based community called Nerdfighteria. Since then, they have created a number of other online series, including Crash Course, a wide-ranging educational channel, as well as a number of annual events, including the charity fundraiser Project for Awesome and online video convention VidCon. The brothers co-host the weekly comedy podcast Dear Hank & John and John hosted the essay podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed, which he adapted into a book of the same name. John has also collaborated with his wife, Sarah Urist Green, on launching The Art Assignment and Ours Poetica, video series which focus on visual art and poetry respectively. Since the mid-2010s, Green has been a prominent supporter and fundraiser for Partners In Health in their goal of reducing maternal mortality in Sierra Leone.

Early life and career

John Michael Green was born on August 24, 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana ,[1][2][3] to Mike (born 1950)[4] and Sydney Green (born 1952).[5] Three weeks after he was born, his family moved to Michigan, then later Birmingham, Alabama, and finally to Orlando, Florida.[6][2] He attended Glenridge Middle School and Lake Highland Preparatory School in Orlando.[7][8] He later attended Indian Springs School outside of Birmingham, Alabama, graduating in 1995.[9][10] He used Indian Springs as the inspiration for the main setting of his first book, Looking for Alaska.[11][12][13] He has spoken about being bullied and how it had made life as a teenager miserable for him.[7] Green graduated from Kenyon College in 2000 with a double major in English and religious studies.[14][9][11]

After graduating from college, Green spent about half a year working as a student chaplain at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, while enrolled at the University of Chicago Divinity School, although he never actually attended the school.[9][15][16][17] He intended to become an Episcopal priest, but the traumatic experiences of working in a hospital with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses and injuries made him reconsider his path. Parts of his experience inspired him to become an author, and later to write The Fault in Our Stars.[16][18][17][9]

Green lived for several years in Chicago , where he worked for the book review journal Booklist as a publishing assistant and production editor while writing Looking for Alaska.[2][9] While there, he reviewed hundreds of books, particularly literary fiction and books about Islam or conjoined twins.[19] He has also critiqued books for The New York Times Book Review and created original radio essays for NPR's All Things Considered and WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station.[19][20][21] Green later lived in New York City for two years while his wife Sarah Urist Green attended graduate school, before returning to Indianapolis in 2007.[22][23]

Career

Beginnings (2005–2011)

Early novels

Green at The Loft Literary Center, Minneapolis, in 2008

Green's first novel, Looking for Alaska, was published by Dutton Children's Books in March 2005. The novel is a coming-of-age school story and teen romance written while Green lived in Chicago and inspired by his experiences at Indian Springs, Alabama, fictionalized as Culver Creek Preparatory High School.[24] The novel was awarded the annual Michael L. Printz Award by the American Library Association, recognizing the year's "best book written for teens, based entirely on its literary merit."[25] It also appeared on the ALA's annual list, "Top 10 Best Books for Young Adults."

Green's second novel, An Abundance of Katherines was released in September 2006. The novel is about an extremely intelligent but depressed seventeen-year-old boy who is constantly dating (and being dumped by) girls named "Katherine". It was a runner-up for the Printz Award and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.[26] Starting with An Abundance of Katherines, each of Green's books contains the word "deadpan" exactly once as an easter egg.[27]

In October 2008, Green published two books: Green collaborated with fellow young adult authors Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle on Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances, which consists of three interconnected short stories, including Green's "A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle," with each set in the same small town on Christmas Eve during a massive snowstorm. In November 2009, the book reached number ten on The New York Times Best Seller list for paperback children's books.[28] Two weeks later, Green's third solo novel, Paper Towns, was released. The book is about the coming-of-age of the protagonist, Quentin "Q" Jacobsen and his search for Margo Roth Spiegelman, his neighbor and childhood sweetheart. It debuted at number five on The New York Times Best Seller list for children's books.[29] In 2009, Paper Towns was awarded the 2009 Edgar Allan Poe Award for Best Young Adult Novel[30] and the 2010 Corine Literature Prize.[31]

After this, Green and his friend, young-adult writer David Levithan, collaborated on the novel Will Grayson, Will Grayson,[32] which was published by Dutton in 2010.[33][34] The book's narrative is divided evenly between two boys named Will Grayson, with Green having written all of the chapters for one and Levithan having written the chapters for the other, presented in an alternating chapter fashion. The novel debuted on The New York Times children's best-seller list after its release and remained there for three weeks. It was the first LGBT-themed young adult novel to make it to that list.[35][36] It was a runner-up (Honor Book) for two of the annual ALA awards, the Stonewall Book Award (for excellence in LGBT children's and young adult literature),[37] and the Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production.[38]

Online video

In 2007, John and his brother Hank began a video blog project called Brotherhood 2.0 which ran from January 1 to December 31 of that year and was published to their YouTube channel "Vlogbrothers". The two agreed that they would forgo all text-based communication for the project's duration instead of maintaining their relationship by exchanging video blogs. Each submitted one to the other on alternating weekdays.[39][40][41] During that year, the brothers gained a large following during the early years of YouTube. In what would have been the project's final video, the brothers revealed that they would extend their video correspondence indefinitely.[42] As of September 2022, they have continued exchanging their vlogs and the channel has over 3 million subscribers and 900 million views.[43]

Since the project's inception, the duo has gained a wide-reaching international fanbase whose members identify collectively as "Nerdfighters." The group, in collaboration with the two brothers, promote and participate in several humanitarian efforts and community events, including loaning more than $4 million through KIVA.org.[44][39]

One prominent Nerdfighter was Esther Earl. Esther Earl was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2006 when she was 12, and, before her death in 2010, developed a bond with the Green brothers and the Nerdfighter community. John Green and Earl met and bonded at a Harry Potter conference in 2009. She would be involved with Nerdfighteria and YouTube until her death on August 25, 2010, at the age of 16.[45] Green and the Nerdfighteria community continues to celebrate "Esther Day" each year on August 3, and support the non-profit foundation This Star Won't Go Out, founded by Esther's parents Wayne and Lori Earl.[45][46] Earl would later serve as an inspiration for the main character Hazel in The Fault in Our Stars.[47][48][49]

In 2007, the brothers also began the charity project Project for Awesome (P4A),[50] a telethon-style fundraiser in which YouTubers take two days, at first in December and later moved back to February, to create videos promoting charities or non-profit organizations of their choosing. These videos lead up to a live stream that lasts for the duration of the Project for Awesome, which is hosted by the Greens and other YouTube personalities including Destin Sandlin and Craig Benzine.[51] In 2012, they raised a total of $483,446, surpassing their goal of $100,000.[52] The event has continued annually, gaining support and higher donations over time. In 2015, the event raised $1.5 million, and in the project's fifteenth edition in 2022, they raised $3.2 million.[51][53] Money is raised through donations to an online crowndfunding site where supporters can pledge money and receive donated perks like signed photographs, books, special events, and art in return.[51] The P4A is a project of the Foundation to Decrease World Suck, a 501(c)3 charitable organization co-founded by John and Hank and based in Missoula, Montana.[54]

Hank Green and Alan Lastufka co-founded DFTBA Records (an initialism for "Don't Forget to Be Awesome") in 2008, with John Green later becoming a co-owner. Originally a record label, its main focus was music generated by prominent YouTube stars. The company now focuses on selling merchandise.[55][56]

John and Hank Green at Vidcon 2012

In 2010, the brothers launched VidCon as an annual conference for the online video community. The Greens created the conference in response to the growing online video community. Hank stated, "We wanted to get as much of the online video community together, in one place, in the real world for a weekend. It's a celebration of the community, with performances, concerts, and parties, but it's also a discussion of the explosion in community-based online video."[57] The event drew many popular YouTube users, as well as their fans, and provided room for the community to interact. The event also contained an industry conference for people and businesses working in the online video field.[58]

Breakout success (2012–2016)

The Fault in Our Stars and adaptations

Green's fourth solo novel, The Fault in Our Stars, was released on January 10, 2012. The book is about is about Hazel, a 16-year-old girl who has thyroid cancer and is forced by her parents to attend a support group where she meets and falls in love with 17-year-old Augustus Waters, an ex-basketball player, amputee, and survivor of osteosarcoma.

Green had announced in August 2009 he was writing a new book titled The Sequel,[59] which was later scrapped, with parts integrated into The Fault In Our Stars.[60] He crafted the novel in collaboration with his long-time editor Julie Strauss-Gabel.[61] Green signed all 150,000 copies of the first printing and his wife and his brother applied their own symbols, a Yeti and an Anglerfish (known as the "Hanklerfish"), respectively.

The Fault in Our Stars debuted at number one on The New York Times Best Seller list for children's chapter books where it stayed for seven consecutive weeks. It remained in the top ten for over a year, during which time all of his other novels also appeared on the list due to Green's surge in popularity.[62][63][64][65] The book was massively successful, with a film adaptation being greenlit within three weeks of the books release and creating a passionate fan base of readers. The success also turned Green into a household name.[66]

Upon the books release, Green began a 17-city book tour in promotion of The Fault in Our Stars.[67] On the year anniversary of it's release, John and his brother Hank performed a sold out show at Carnegie Hall in New York City , which also featured appearances from Neil Gaiman and The Mountain Goats.[62] Green appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson in March 2013. Green stated his anxiety leading up to the television interview prevented him from getting work done for weeks before.[68]

In late 2013, Green stated that he was writing a new book with the working title The Racket.[69] He sold 5,000 words of a rough draft on IndieGoGo for $10 each in order to raise money as part of the Project for Awesome charity event.[70] On November 16, 2014, Green wrote on his Tumblr page that he was not working on The Racket anymore, but was working on something else with a different title.[71][72]

Green at Vidcon in 2014

Released in the US on June 6, 2014, the film adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars was the first adaptation of Green's novels.[68][73] The film was successful, opening number one at the box office during its opening weekend and grossing $307 million worldwide against a budget of $12 million.[74] Green filmed a cameo role for the movie that was not included in the final cut of the film.[75]

The novel Paper Towns was subsequently adapted into the 2015 film of the same name, starring Cara Delavigne and Nat Wolff.[76] Green served as an executive producer for the movie. He also entered into a first-look production deal with the studio behind the film, Fox 2000.[77]

In September 2015, Green announced that he would be taking a break from social media to focus on writing his next book.[78] Around this time, Green experienced a severe period of anxiety, partly due to the perceived pressure to follow up the massive success of The Fault in Our Stars. He worried he might never write another book.[79] In August 2016, Green stated that over the next ten months he would be limiting his public appearances in order to finish a draft of the new book.[80] But on September 20, Green took to his YouTube channel to say that he may not publish another book, citing his current writing experience as "this intense pressure, like people were watching over my shoulder while I was writing."[81]

In 2016, Green announced that Fox 2000 would be making a movie about the formation of AFC Wimbledon, a soccer team that he supports. He would serve as producer along with Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen under their production banner Temple Hill Productions, which produced The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns.[82][83][84] As of 2022, the movie has not been released.[85]

Educational content

In 2012, following a grant from Google, John and Hank launched the short-format educational video YouTube channel Crash Course. The channel has grown to 44 series covering topics including history, literature, and science. All of the content is available for free and many follow the curricula for the Advanced Placement program.[86][87] John has hosted nine of the series including the first on world history.

Green was the host of the YouTube channel for the magazine Mental Floss from 2013 to 2018. He had previously been a contributing writer for the magazine for a period in the mid-2000s and had co-edited the book Mental Floss: Scatterbrained, to which his brother Hank had also contributed.[88][89] Alongside other presenters, like Craig Benzine and Elliott Morgan, John Green presented "The List Show" in which he listed off interesting facts centered on one particular subject, such as "26 amusing facts about amusement parks".[90] These episodes were directed by Mark Olsen and produced by John and Hank Green and Stan Muller. A new format, titled Scatterbrained, was introduced on the channel in 2018; Green was joined by multiple hosts on a single episode each week, which tackled one topic from multiple angles. In 2019, Mental Floss brought its YouTube production in-house and ceased using Green as the host.[citation needed]

On February 20, 2014, Sarah Urist Green launched "The Art Assignment", a PBS and Complexly video series in which artists encourage viewers to imitate their creative exercises.[91][92] John served as an executive producer for the series.[93][94] In September 2019, Sarah Urist Green, in collaboration with John and the Poetry Foundation, launched the YouTube channel "Ours Poetica". The channel features videos of poets, celebrities, and others reading poems they like. Poet Paige Lewis acted as the curator of the channel for the first season and Kaveh Akbar also work on the channel. Featured readers have included Shailene Woodley, Ashley C. Ford, Emily Graslie, and Samin Nosrat, among others.[95][96]

EcoGeek LLC, a company founded by Hank Green to support his blog on environmental and science issues in the early 2000s, was renamed to Complexly in 2016.[97] Complexly became the online the umbrella video and audio production company which produces and manages most of the Green brother's YouTube shows, as well as a number of other shows, podcasts, and projects. John serves as the co-founder and strategic advisor for the company.[98]

Other projects and events

Starting in 2012 and 2013, John and Hank launched an event called "Pizzamas" in which they sold merchandise of "Pizza John": a white outlined image of John sporting a thick mustache, originating from a 2009 Vlogbrothers video that then became a popular meme in the Nerdfighteria community.[99] The event evolved in 2014, with John and Hank uploading videos every weekday for two weeks, as they had during the first year of the YouTube channel. The merchandise also evolved, introducing fan art printed on objects including blankets and tote bags, and other merchandise such as pizza-scented air fresheners, with all the proceeds being donated to charity.[99]

After two years of producing Crash Course and Hank's science-related channel SciShow through grants provided by YouTube, the Green brothers decided to find a more sustainable way to fund the projects. In 2013, they launched Subbable, a monthly subscription-based crowdfunding platform similar to Kickstarter that would let subscribers pledge a monthly donation to creators and receive perks in exchange by building up a pledge bank.[100] Among the platform's initial creators and channels were the Green brothers' Crash Course and SciShow, and YouTubers CGP Grey, MinutePhysics and Wheezy Waiter.[101]

In March 2015, Patreon, another subscription-based crowdfunding platform, acquired Subbable and added Subbable's creators into its fold, with the bulk of the acquisition money going to match up to $100,000 in pledges to ease the transition.[102][103] Although talks of the two companies joining forces had been discussed since their launch, they only got serious after Amazon announced a change in its payment services, which would lead to Subbable creators losing subscribers.[104] As part of the deal, the Green brothers received a small portion of Patreon and Hank signed on as an unpaid advisor.[105]

In June 2015, John Green and his brother Hank started a weekly podcast titled Dear Hank & John.[106] Taking a mainly humorous tone, each podcast consists of the brothers reading a series of questions submitted by listeners and offering their advice. The podcast closes with a news segment with two standard topics: Mars, presented by Hank, and AFC Wimbledon, presented by John.[106][107][108]

Green gave commencement speeches at Butler University in 2013 and at his alma mater Kenyon College in May 2016.[109][110][111]

On June 22, 2017, it was announced that Green's fifth solo novel would be titled Turtles All the Way Down. It was released on October 10, 2017,[112] and debuted at number 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.[113] The New York Times described the novel and it's focus on crippling anxiety as Green's most personal book yet.[79] Upon the release of his book, he and his brother Hank Green]] went on a [[book tour.[114][115]

Logo for the podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed

In January 2018, Green launched The Anthropocene Reviewed, a solo podcast where he reviews different facets of the Anthropocene, the 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.[114][116]

Green adapted the essays into a book, The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet, which was published by Dutton Penguin on May 18, 2021. The book was Green's first nonfiction book and sixth solo publication.[117] The book received positive reviews and debuted at number 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list.[118][119][120] The book featured revised versions of many of the essays from the podcast, as well as new original essays, ordered chronologically through Green's life to give the book the approximate structure of a memoir.[121][122][123] Green wrote about living through the COVID-19 pandemic in many of the essays.[124][125] As he had done with many of his previous books, Green signed all 250,000 tip-in sheets of the first printing for the United States and Canada. He wrote a review of the experience on the final signed page.[126] This review was later revised and expanded on for an episode of the podcast released on the same day as the book.[127] Green subsequently ended the podcast in August 2021 after 36 episodes.[117][128]

In May 2021, Green hosted a virtual book tour for The Anthropocene Reviewed, with guests Clint Smith, Latif Nasser, Sarah Urist Green, Hank Green, and Ashley C. Ford making appearances at the various shows.[129]

Further adaptations

Green had sold the film the rights for Looking for Alaska in 2005 to Paramount, which hired Josh Schwartz as writer and director. 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.[133][134] In 2012, the book reached The New York Times Best Seller list for children's paperbacks.[135] Finally, in May 2018, it was announced that Looking for Alaska would be made into a Hulu series with Schwartz and others on board.[136][137] The casting was announced in October 2018.[138] Looking for Alaska was released to Hulu on October 18, 2019.[139]

In 2019, the 2008 book Let It Snow was adapted into a film of the same name by Netflix.[140]

In 2017, Green authorized a stage play adaptation of The Fault in Our Stars. The play was written by theatre director Tobin Strader of Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis and four students at the high school. It was performed in 2019.[141]

In August 2014, India's Fox Star Studios announced it would adapt The Fault in Our Stars into an Indian Hindi-language film, with the working title of Kizie Aur Manny.[142] Filming began in July 2018, in Jamshedpur,[143] with first-time director Mukesh Chhabra and lead actor Sushant Singh Rajput[144] and lead actress Sanjana Sanghi.[145] This adaptation ages up the characters and changes the main setting to India. The title of the movie was later changed to Dil Bechara ('The Helpless Heart') and is named after one of the original songs written for the movie. Music composer A. R. Rahman composed the background music and songs of the movie.[146] The film was scheduled to be released on May 8, 2020, after having been initially scheduled in November 2019, but was later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in India. It was released on July 24, 2020, on Disney+ Hotstar and was met with mainly positive reviews.[145]

In December 2017, Green announced that a film adaptation of Turtles All The Way Down was in development by Fox 2000 and Temple Hill Productions.[147] In May 2018, Green confirmed that the film adaptation would be written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, the screenwriters for Love, Simon.[148] In January 2019, it was announced that Hannah Marks would direct the movie.[149] After Fox 2000 was closed as part of the acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney, the film was put on hold. In March 2022, it was announced the film had switched studios to New Line Cinema and would be released on the streaming service HBO Max. The film is set to star Isabela Merced and began filming in April 2022.[150] Green and Rosianna Halse Rojas will serve as executive producers.[151]

Partners In Health

Further information: Partners In Health

Starting in 2013, John and Hank Green and their families have supported the international nonprofit public health organization Partners In Health. Beginning with the annual Project for Awesome fundraiser in 2013, Partners In Health received $50,000 as one of the community-chosen charities. The charity was first chosen as one of the "designated charities" the following year, meaning Green and the other organizers had chosen for it to receive approximately half the money raised during the first 24 hours of the 48 hour event, totaling $291,000. It was again chosen as a designated charity in 2016 before becoming a permanent designated charity in every iteration of the fundraiser since 2018.[152][153][154]

In October 2018, Green founded the Life's Library book club with Rosianna Halse Rojas.[155][156][157] The book club read a book approximately every 6 weeks, with online discussion occurring on the Life's Library Discord. Green and Rojas alternated choosing books, with guest curators occasionally making selections.[157] Life's Library was free to participate in, with paid options available to receive digital or physical subscriptions, containing additional materials such as a discussion podcast, or a version of the book itself. All profits from Life's Library were donated to Partners In Health Sierra Leone.[157] The Life's Library project ended in March 2022 and the discussion Discord was archived.[158]

John and Sarah Urist Green visited Sierra Leone in April 2019 after John was inspired by a December 2017 profile in The New Yorker on Ophelia Dahl.[159][160][161] In October 2019, Green announced that he, Hank, and their families would be donating $6.5 million to Sierra Leone's branch of Partners In Health, as part of an initiative to raise $25 million over the following five years. The goal of the initiative is to help fight maternal mortality, specifically in the country's Kono District, where the money will be used to staff and support the Maternal Center of Excellence, among other primary care centers and health workers.[160][162]

In August 2019, John and Hank performed live versions of their own podcasts on stage, with John presenting a new episode of The Anthropocene Reviewed, as well as a live episode of their shared podcast Dear Hank & John, with all profits going to Partners In Health.[163] The live performances returned in March 2020 with a planned three-city tour including stops in Columbus, Ohio and Carmel, Indiana, with a third performance set for Ann Arbor, Michigan. However, the third performance was cancelled due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[163][164]

In November 2020, John and Hank started the "Awesome Socks Club", a monthly subscription service where members receive a pair of socks designed by independent artists. All post-tax profits are donated to the charity, in a business model similar to Newman's Own products.[165] As of March 2022, the Awesome Socks Club had 45,000 members.[166]

The Maternal Center of Excellence broke ground in April 2021, with a planned opening in 2023.[167]

In March 2022, the brothers started the "Awesome Coffee Club", with an identical business model and goal to the Awesome Socks Club. The coffee is ethically sourced from Columbia via the brothers' sourcing partner Sucafina. The beans are then roasted in St. Louis, Missouri and distributed through DFTBA's fulfillment center in Missoula, Montana.[167][166] In August 2022, Hank Green reported that the Awesome Socks Club had over 40,000 subscribers and the Awesome Coffee Club had over 10,000 subscribers.[165]

After receiving $429,000 from the Project for Awesome in 2021 and over $100,000 from that year's Pizzamas, Partner in Health received over $1 million during the 2022 Project for Awesome.[99][152][51] The week prior to the 2022 Project for Awesome, Partners In Health co-founder Paul Farmer unexpectedly died at the age of 62. Green wrote a tribute to Farmer for The Washington Post.[168]

Influence and reception

Green at VidCon 2012

Green's books have more than 50 million copies in print worldwide, including The Fault in Our Stars, which is one of the best-selling books of all time.[64] In 2014, Green was included in Time (magazine) magazine's list of The 100 Most Influential People in the World, with The Indianapolis Star describing his career at the time as "an underground career that's rolling toward the mainstream".[176][177] Green's idiosyncratic voice and rapid rise to fame in 2014 are credited with creating a major shift in the young adult fiction market. While reviewing the Andrew Smith young-adult novel, Winger, A. J. Jacobs of The New York Times used the term "GreenLit" to describe young adult books that contain "sharp dialogue, defective authority figures, occasional boozing, unrequited crushes, and one or more heartbreaking twists."[178][79] According to The Wall Street Journal , "[s]ome credit him with ushering in a new golden era for contemporary, realistic, literary teen fiction, following more than a decade of dominance by books about young wizards, sparkly vampires, and dystopia. A blurb or Twitter endorsement from Mr. Green can ricochet around the Internet and boost sales, an effect book bloggers call "the John Green effect." Zareen Jaffery, executive editor of Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers said: "What I really like about what people are calling 'the John Green effect' is that there's more of an interest in authentic, genuine, relatable characters."[179][180]

Young-adult readers and authors, including Green himself, have been critical of the terms.[181] Green has voiced his disagreement with the idea that he is single-handedly responsible for launching or promoting any one individual's career.[181] Green has commented on these arguments: "My concern is that popular work by women receives far more vitriolic criticism from the public (like, in terms of several demeaning jokes...) than popular work created by men... Also, I would like to see equal attention given to the sexism in popular work by men, from Nicholas Sparks to, for instance J. D. Salinger. Catcher in the Rye—although I like it very much—is profoundly and disturbingly misogynistic and yet seems to get a critical pass both online and off. This happens a lot, I think, with books by men, and I don't want male writers (including me!) to get that pass."[182] Relating to this issue, Green has stated that he considers himself to be a feminist.[183]

Although his novels have earned mostly positive critical reception, Green had discussed what he believes to be flaws in his novels when he looked at them in retrospect.[184] Additionally, in response to a fan's tweet, Green apologized for using the word retarded in Paper Towns, stating, "Yeah, I regret it. At the time, I thought an author's responsibility was to reflect language as I found it. Still, now... eight years later, I don't feel like a book about humanizing the other benefited from dehumanizing language," adding, "it's not in the movie. I won't use the word again in a book or elsewhere."[185]

Several of Green's books have been the subject of book banning attempts.[175][186][187] Looking for Alaska was named the most challenged book of 2015 by the American Library Association, with some people complaining about the book's "offensive language" and "sexually explicit descriptions".[186] In September 2022, a group of parents attempted to ban the novel from all Orange County, Florida school libraries, a district Green had attended as a child.[175][188][189]

Personal life and public image

John Green with his wife Sarah Urist Green in 2008

Green is married to Sarah Urist Green, with whom he has two children.[190][79] John and Sarah met when they both attended the same preparatory school in Indian Springs, Alabama.[23] They became reacquainted eight years later in Chicago , when John began dating Sarah's boxing partner; after they broke up, John became friends with Sarah.[87] The two became engaged in April 2005[23] and married in May 2006.[191][87] In early videos on the VlogBrothers channel, Sarah Green is referred to as "the Yeti" due to her not appearing visibly on camera, though she no longer is referred to as such.[87]

Green was born in Indianapolis, Indiana and has lived there since 2007. The city has served as the setting for several of his novels, and he wrote a review of it in his podcast and book of essays The Anthropocene Reviewed. Green often speaks of his love for the city.[22][192][193][194][195] On July 14, 2015, Greg Ballard, the mayor of Indianapolis, proclaimed that that day would be "John Green Day" in his city.[196] That month, Teresa Jacobs, the mayor of Orange County, Florida, declared that July 17 would also be John Green Day.[197] In 2016, Green drove the pace car at the 2016 Indianapolis 500.[198]

Green endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 United States presidential election and criticized Donald Trump on his policies.[199]

Green has stated that he is an Episcopalian Christian,[200] and was married in a Catholic church.[201] He has been an advocate for refugees, stating that "for those of you who share my faith, Jesus is awfully unambiguous about the poor, shelterless, and imprisoned".[202]

Green is an avid fan of Liverpool F.C. of the Premier League and has publicly discussed English football.[203] John is also a sponsor of English League Two club AFC Wimbledon, of whom he is also a keen admirer.[204] John had a gaming series on YouTube where he played FIFA as the "Wimbly Womblys," a fictionalized version of AFC Wimbledon. Advertising revenue from the series was donated to the team.

Green has obsessive-compulsive disorder[205] and has been vocal about his struggles with mental illness.[79][206]

In 2015, a Tumblr post from user "virjn" generated media controversy, criticizing Green as being a "creep who panders to teenage girls".[207][208] Other users commented on the post, criticizing his writing and tagging Green to bring the post to his attention.[208] Green responded to the post, defending himself, stating, "Throwing that kind of accusation around is sick and libelous and most importantly damages the discourse around the actual sexual abuse of children."[208] Green added that he would use the social media website less often,[185] with many coming to Green's defense, including fellow young-adult authors Rainbow Rowell and Maggie Stiefvater.[208]
