Victoria Elizabeth (V. E.) Schwab (born July 7, 1987) is an American writer. She is known for the 2013 novel Vicious, the Shades of Magic series, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, which was nominated for the 2020 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel.[1] She publishes children's and young adult fiction books under the name Victoria Schwab. She is the creator[2] of the supernatural teen drama series First Kill, based on her short story of the same name originally published in the 2020 anthology Vampires Never Get Old: Tales With Fresh Bite.

Early life and education

Schwab was born on July 7, 1987, in California and grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. Schwab went to Harpeth Hall School,[3] an all-girls Southern preparatory school.[4] They graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2009. She had originally planned to study Astrophysics, but changed directions after taking art and literature courses. She completed her first novel (unpublished) in her sophomore year,[5] and sold their debut novel, The Near Witch, to Disney before graduating.[6]

Career

Schwab's debut novel, The Near Witch, was published by Disney in 2011.[6]

The Guardian called Vicious "a brilliant exploration of the superhero mythos, and a riveting revenge thriller".[7] Additionally, it received a starred review from Publishers Weekly,[8] which also named the novel one of its best books of 2013 for Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror.[9] The American Library Association's Reference and User Services Association likewise awarded it the top fantasy book in their 2014 Reading List.[10] In late 2013, the rights for a film adaptation of Vicious were bought jointly by Story Mining & Supply Co and Ridley Scott's Scott Free Productions.[11][12]

In 2014, Schwab signed a two-book deal with Tor Books,[9] which included A Darker Shade of Magic and its sequel. The former was published in February 2015, and also received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.[13] In 2017, they signed another book deal with Tor for Vengeful, the sequel to Vicious; a new trilogy set called Threads of Power, which takes place in the same world as the Shades of Magic series; and an "homage to Blade Runner" called Black Tabs.[14]

In May 2018, Schwab gave the sixth annual Tolkien Lecture at Pembroke College, Oxford.[15]

In 2020, Schwab joined the panel of Podcast Writing Excuses[16] to discuss book themes and other topics.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue was published by Tor Books on October 6, 2020.[17] It was heavily praised and nominated for the 2020 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel.[1]

Schwab's short story "First Kill" was published in the 2020 anthology Vampires Never Get Old: Tales With Fresh Bite. On October 15, 2020, Netflix gave a series order to the production First Kill (TV series).[18] Schwab served at the creator and an executive producer of the series and as a writer for a number of episodes.[19] The first season of the series premiered on June 10, 2022, on Netflix.[20]

Personal life

Schwab grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, and has lived in St. Louis, Brooklyn, Liverpool and Edinburgh. She first came out as gay at age 28. Schwab uses She/They Pronouns[6]
