Pierce Brown was always fascinated with storytelling from a young age. He remembered the stories his grandfather would tell him, and he would listen for hours. He would tell him stories about tricksters, backwater bandits and clever outsiders. His family moved seven times before he was eighteen, and he went to more than ten schools.
After leaving high school, he realized it was possible to be a writer. It wasn’t until one muggy summer night after high school ended that he started writing. He wrote six books in five years and received more than a hundred rejections in return. He was twenty-two and ready to give it all up. A seed was planted after he read Antigone and saw Mars all bright in the sky, a seed was planted. He took ancient Greece and added stars, spaceships, opera, Romans, twists, betrayal and blood to make Red Rising.
