Popular author Suzanne Collins pens books for children and young adults. Her books have sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. She’s best known for her dystopian science fiction hit The Hunger Games series, which follows teenager Katniss Everdeen as she’s thrust into a deadly, government-imposed competition. The best-selling series includes the original trilogy—The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010)—as well as the prequels The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2020) and the recently released Sunrise on the Reaping (2025).

Since its publication, The Hunger Games has remained a literary sensation, spending more than six years on The New York Times bestseller list (“Biography.” Suzanne Collins). The series consistently appears on Publisher’s Weekly and USA Today’s top-selling lists, has been translated into 55 languages, and has won more than 70 awards, including ALA Best Books for Young Adults, the Goodreads Choice Award, and Kirkus Best Young Adult Book of the Year. Lionsgate adapted the books into a film franchise that has earned over $3.3 billion and plans to release Sunrise on the Reaping in Fall 2026.
