He was born on August 24, 1977, in Indianapolis, Indiana. He has a younger brother Hank with whom he has collaborated for both YouTube and many other projects. During his early childhood, the Green family moved to various cities such as Michigan, Birmingham, and Orlando. Because of this, John attended several schools.

Shortly after college, John spent approximately five months working at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital as a student chaplain. While in Columbus, Ohio, he enrolled at the University of Chicago Divinity School. He had aspirations to become an Episcopal priest, however, during his time at the hospital influenced him to become a writer. It was also his tenure in the Nationwide Children’s Hospital that inspired his best-selling book The Fault in Our Stars.

Apart from his debut novel, Looking for Alaska, his other best-selling books helped him become a millionaire in just a decade. Just a few years before he began writing full-time, John worked occasionally as a production editor and publishing assistant at Booklist. While working these two jobs and writing Looking for Alaska, he reviewed and critiqued hundreds of books (especially literary fiction) for the New York Times Book Review.

By the early 2000s, from all of his professions, he was already earning an estimated $100,000 per year.

His very first novel was published in March 2005 by Dutton Children’s Books. The book was commercially successful and it also earned him his first award – Michael Prinz Award in 2006. That year, he also released his second novel titled An Abundance of Katherines, which was also a critical success.

Towards the end of the decade, the author released his third novel Paper Towns and first collaboration projects – the books Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances with young adult authors Lauren Myracle and Maureen Johnson and Will Grayson, Will Grayson with David Levithan, which became the first LGBT-themed novel to top the New York Times best-seller list.

He continues to address key issues, like climate change.

In the 2010s, he continued to release award-winning novels such as The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down. Both books gained international popularity and sold more than one million copies in less than a year. Also, just like most of his best-selling novels, they have been interpreted in film adaptations that became box-office hits that have amassed more than $30 million.

In addition to writing, John has ventured into a YouTube career. The internet personality first joined the video-sharing platform in 2007 alongside his brother Hank. Besides their well-known main channel, VlogBrothers, the Green brothers have created several other projects such as Crash Course, VidCon, Project for Awesome, and Mental Floss.
