My New Book

In which John Green discusses the forthcoming release of Turtles All the Way Down, his first new novel since The Fault in Our Stars was published five and a half years ago.

Preorder Signed Copies of my new book, Turtles All the Way Down, which comes out October 10th, at your local bookstore or at:

Turtles All the Way Down will be published on October 10th, 2017, and is available for preorder now from your local bookstore. Also presumably other places, but support your local bookstore if you can!

Quick thanks to my publisher, Julie Strauss-Gabel, who has edited every book I've ever written and who has been working with me on this story for years and years. Also to everyone at Penguin Random House and to everyone who sent me encouraging notes or comments over the years. It has meant more to me than I can say.

When TFiOS came out and you did the various colors for signatures, I preordered one and commented "I hope I get a green one!"
You said "I hope you do too! -John"
Well I did! Thanks John!

I love that this book will probably be shortened to 'turtles.' That thought just makes me so happy.

it's good to know that john has passed safely through cheyenne.

It's funny, but, the idea of John Green, legendary author, taking five and half years to write another book is actually a comforting one. It makes it a little easier to deal with that voice in the back of my head saying, "Why haven't you written more"

[chloekurlander]

wow I'm like cheese doodles guy level excited right now!!

[willfulmatter]

"I have written a book."

Oh shit, wow.

"It comes out October 10th"

OH SHIT, WOW!

Completely expected him to say: "...its also kind of a personal one because as, most of you know, I am a young woman"

[veritasium]

Congratulations John! Looking forward to reading it.

[scribbledjoy]

John's back to a job description in the present tense: "Person who writes books." That's gotta be a good feeling.

[meredithmiller]

Is it weird to be proud of someone you don't know? Because I am. Congratulations John!

[bubbly]

Sarah deserves a gold medal. I'm sure she and the rest of your loved ones are glad you're back from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Massive congratulations, John - you deserve it.

A well-known scientist (some say it was Bertrand Russell) once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the center of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: "What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise." The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, "What is the tortoise standing on?" "You're very clever, young man, very clever, " said the old lady. "But it's turtles all the way down!"

The moment you said "It's about a woman who is trying to solve a mystery case, while also trying to live with mental illness" I literally jump from my seat. CAN'T WAIT FOR YOUR NEW BOOK!

[bryandaly]

wow, five and a half years? still faster than George R.R. Martin

[fern]

Congratulations! You're back from Cheyenne, you wrote a new book and you're a person who writs books. Some conflicts have resolved and a new chapter has begun, may it be a good one.

[Laurenlucky]

Super excited for the new book! As one who deals with mental illness it's always great to have more representation within literature. Question: how do you pronounce "Aza"?

[BronzeManul]

Welcome back John! It's good to see you back home after being in Cheyenne, Wyoming for so long.

[mounika.]

turtles, we'll see you on tuesday.

[elizabethsmith]

This made me so happy. I am a fairly new Nerd Fighter, so I wasn't around when John was publishing his other books. I have watched all those past videos with a decent amount of envy. Now, I am so excited to be in this community during this Nerdfighter milestone 😊 Congratulations John. Can't wait!

[zcmini]

Congrats John! I feel like it wasn't too long ago you said you might never publish a book again in your life.
Glad you were able to overcome the obstacles and get this out in the world!
