- Biografía breve
- Jay Asher was born in Arcadia, California on September 30, 1975. He grew up in a family that encouraged all of his interests, from playing the guitar to his writing. He attended Cuesta College right after graduating from high school. It was here where he wrote his first two children’s books for a class called Children’s Literature Appreciation. At this point in his life, he had decided he wanted to become an elementary school teacher. He then transferred to California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo where he left his senior year in order to pursue his career as a serious writer. Throughout his life he worked in various establishments, including as a salesman in a shoe store and in libraries and bookstores. Many of his work experiences had an impact on some aspect of his writing.
He has published only one book to date, Thirteen Reasons Why, which was published in October 2007. He is currently working on his second Young Adult novel, and has written several picture books and screenplays. Thirteen Reasons Why has won several awards and has received five stars from Teen Book Review. It also has received high reviews from fellow authors such as Ellen Hopkins, Chris Crutcher, and Gordon Kormon.

Pero he aquí un viaje distinto del esperado, un viaje donde el punto de llegada es precisamente el mismo que el de partida y en el que solo hacen falta unos nuevos ojos para verlo todo como por vez primera. Hannah irá desgranando poco a poco su vida en un intento de poner de manifiesto las consecuencias, grandes o pequeñas, de las cosas que hacemos y dejamos de hacer, y que cambian el mundo a veces sin darnos cuenta.… (más)
