Stephenie Meyer at 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 1' World Premiere

Happy Birthday to Stephenie Meyer! On December 24, 2011, she turns 38 years old.

Thirty-seven has been a busy year for Meyer on set and off as a producer of  ’The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.’  This past year she also published ‘The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide’ and  ’Twilight: The Graphic Novel, Volume 2.’

So what does she have planned for 38?  The final film of the ‘The Twilight Saga’ will be released next November, but she’s also producing the movie adaption of ‘Austenland’ by Shannon Hale, and production should begin on the film adaption of Meyer’s novel, ‘The Host,’ and that’s just what we know about.

Happy Birthday, Stephenie!

NEW YORK, NY (January 14, 2011) – Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, a division of Hachette Book Group, will host a special International Fan Event, featuring Twilight fans from around the world. Ten fans will be chosen to have a once-in-a-lifetime intimate meeting with international bestselling author Stephenie Meyer. The event coincides with the upcoming release of The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide (April 12, 2011; $24.99).

Little, Brown is partnering with the Twilight Saga publishers in Brazil, China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Taiwan and the United Kingdom to bring together each country’s respective Twilight fan. The fan selected from each country will receive an advance copy of The Official Illustrated Guide and get to talk extensively with Meyer, who will answer their Twilight-related questions.

“The one thing I miss most about my first book tour was the chance I had then to spend quality time with my readers,” said Meyer. “At an event with just ten or twenty people, I was able to get to know everyone a little bit. I could also more effectively answer each person’s questions. I’m so excited to have that opportunity again, and to get to spend time with fans from many different places and backgrounds.”

“We receive hundreds of travel requests for Stephenie from our foreign publishing partners every year,” said Megan Tingley, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. “Since it is physically impossible for one author to be in so many places, we thought this would be a great way to bring some fans to her.”

The Official Rules for the sweepstakes to select the fan from the United States (as well as one from Canada), including entry details and eligibility requirements, can be found on TheTwilightSaga.com.
