Personal life
Rowell lives in Omaha, Nebraska, with her husband and two sons. She has at least one sibling, a sister named Jade and a half sister Abby, who owns a popular local coffee chain in Omaha, NE.
Career
Rowell served as a columnist and ad copywriter at the Omaha World-Herald from 1995 to 2012.
Rowell began working for an ad company and writing Attachments, her first published book since leaving her career as a columnist, as a pastime. During this period, Rowell gave birth to her first son and halted work on the manuscript for two years. In 2011, the book, a modern romantic comedy about a company's IT guy who falls in love with a woman whose email he has been monitoring, was published. It was ranked as one of the year's best debuts, according to Kirkus Reviews.
Rowell's young adult book Eleanor & Park was published in 2013. The New York Times named it and her book Fangirl as among the year's best young adult fiction. Eleanor & Park was also selected by Amazon as one of the year's top 10 best books, as Goodreads' best young adult fiction of the year. DreamWorks optioned Eleanor & Park as a screenplay in 2014, but Rowell said the option had run out and the rights had reverted to her in 2016. Picturestart had acquired the film rights in 2019, with Rowell writing the screenplay and executive producing.
In 2013, Rowell's book was disinvited to a library function by a parents' group at a Minnesota high school; a committee later found that the book would remain on library shelves. "Profane" was what many children in difficult situations realistically had to cope with, and Rowell said in an interview, "when these people talk about Eleanor & Park as an obscene story," says Rowell.
In January 2014, Rowell signed a two-book contract with First Second to produce two young adult graphic novels, the first of which will be illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks. Landline, Rowell's fourth book about a marriage in danger, was published on July 8, 2014.
Rowell published Fangirl, a young adult book series about a girl named Simon Snow who attends a magical school called Watford in 2013. Rowell later created a whole trilogy of books based on the Fangirl's fictional books. Carry On is Simon's eighth book in the series, in which Simon, a ninth year at school, is struggling to cope with his name as the Chosen One, a supernatural power destroying the world of mages. Penelope and his partner Agatha are among his quests together with Tyrannus Basilton "Baz" Grimm-Pitch, his vampire "nemesis." It is influenced by fan fiction, particularly J.K. Rowling's popularity of fan fiction of the Harry Potter series. Both Rowell's 2019 book Wayward Son and her 2021 book Any Way the Wind Blows are Simon Snow's two Simon Snow books.
