- Angie Thomas nació el 20 de septiembre de 1988 en Jackson, Mississippi, Estados Unidos. Es una escritora y productora, conocida por El odio que das (2018), On the Come Up (2022) y Blackout.
- Her debut novel, The Hate U Give, was the subject of a heated auction involving thirteen different publishing houses, until HarperCollins imprint Balzer + Bray won the bidding and secured the rights.
- Her first novel, The Hate U Give, was a #1 New York Times Best Seller, reaching the top of the best-seller list for Young Adult books just one week after it was published.
- Graduated from Belhaven University in Jackson, Mississippi, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing.
- One of her biggest influences is Tupac Shakur.
- Is a huge Harry Potter fan and cites J.K. Rowling's books as one form of escapism she used while growing up in a rough neighborhood.
- Mississippi is known for two things, racism and writing, and I happen to be a writer who writes about racism.
- [on why she writes for teens] The teens I write for are going to be politicians with Twitter accounts tomorrow. If some of our readers read books about black kids as teenagers, we wouldn't have to say Black Lives Matter - it would be understood. If they read about Latino kids, we wouldn't be discussing walls. People assume I want to put a political agenda into kids' heads. No. I want to install empathy in them.
