Stephenie Meyer and the Twilight Series
Where did she get her ideas from? What was her inspiration? Will there be more?

If you haven’t been to Stephenie’s official website, then you are missing out! Here you will find her blog with
up-to-date information as well as tons of background information for each book. Find her suggested playlist
and even excerpts cut from the final drafts. See updates, trailers, and pictures from the movies. Read the first
part to Midnight Sun! Check out her many fan websites. Visit the location of her books and movies: Forks,
Washington.

**Heads Up! Stephenie only has one official website. She no longer has her MySpace page or any other social
networking pages. Watch out for the phonies!**

Additional Reading Suggestions

You may recall that each book was loosely based on a different literary classic. Before or while you are
rereading the series, consider reading the very books that Stephenie Meyer drew inspiration from and see if you
can identify the commonalities!

Twighlight --- Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

New Moon --- Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

Eclipse --- Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontё

Breaking Dawn --- A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare

Stephenie also shares that Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery has been a big influence on
her writing.
