Background

Ned Vizzini (born April 4, 1981) grew up primarily in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. He attended Stuyvessant High School in Manhattan. While still a teenager, he began to write articles for the New York Press, an alternative newspaper. After he wrote an essay that got published by the New York Times Magazine, several of his essays about his young adult life ended up being combined into his first book, Teen Angst? Naah.... Vizzini attended Hunter College, also located in Manhattan. Ned Vizzini currently lives in New York City and continues to write and to speak about his books.

Books

  • Teen Angst? Naah...- A "quasi-autobiography" that consists of essays about Vizzini's young adult years attending Stuyvessant High School.
  • Be More Chill- Vizzini's fiction debut follows the adventures of Jeremy Heere, a terminally "uncool" teenage boy. Jeremy's life changes when he buys a "squip", a pill that gives the user instructions on how to be cool.

A movie screenplay based on the book is supposed to be in the works.

  • It's Kind of a Funny Story- Ned Vizzini's newest fiction release follows a depressed young man who becomes suicidal and checks himself into a mental hospital. Vizzini has said on his website that it was inspired by his own brief hospitalization following his becoming suicidal in November 2004.
