2. Twilight is a young-adult vampire-
romance novel[3][4] by author Stephenie
Meyer.
It is the first book of the Twilight series,
and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella
"Bella" Swan, who moves from Phoenix,
Arizona to Forks, Washington and finds her
life in danger when she falls in love with a
vampire, Edward Cullen.
The novel is followed by New Moon, Eclipse,
and Breaking Dawn.

13.  Meyer says that the idea
for Twilight came to her in a dream on
June 2, 2003.
 The dream was about a human girl and
a vampire who was in love with her but
thirsted for her blood. Based on this
dream, Meyer wrote the draft of what
became Chapter 13 of the book.

14.  In a matter of three months she had
transformed her dream into a complete
novel, though she claims that she never
intended to publish Twilight and was
writing for her own enjoyment.
 Her sister's response to the book was
enthusiastic and she persuaded Meyer to
send the manuscript to literary agencies.

15.  Of the 15 letters she wrote, five went
unanswered, nine brought rejections, and
the last was a positive response from Jodi
Reamer of Writers House.
 Eight publishers competed for the rights
to publish Twilight in a 2003 auction.

16.  By November, Meyer had signed a
$750,000 three-book deal with Little,
Brown and Company.
 Twilight was published in 2005 with a
print run of 75,000 copies.
 It reached #5 on the New York Times Best
Seller list for Children's Chapter Books
within a month of its release, and later
rose to #1.

17.  Foreign rights to the novel were sold to
over 26 countries.
 The novel was named the Publishers
Weekly Best Book of the Year and a New
York Times Editor's Choice.
