Paper Towns Trailer
Paper Towns teaser trailer
“a paper town for a paper girl”
- in honour of the paper towns trailer coming out tomorrow, march 19th.
THIS IS THE PAPER TOWNS MOVIE POSTER! I’m so excited for everyone to see the movie when it comes out on July 24th and grateful to the people at Fox who made this beautiful poster and YAY YAY YAY. Also, in TRAILER NEWS: I’ll be debuting the Paper Towns trailer live on-air on The Today Show next Thursday 19th March!
would you ever write a YA book where an adult plays a key role? I know you like to leave the focus around the teenagers and their "peer relationships"....but I was just wondering if it had ever crossed your mind.
I mean, to be totally honest with you, I don’t really give a shit about adults.

Obama hugged GloZell and Bethany, and then started to go in for the handshake with Hank, but Hank was like, “THIS IS A HUG-ONLY ZONE MR. PRESIDENT,” and spread his arms wide and hugged the President.
(Later, Hank reported to me: “He’s very fit. He’s in great shape.”)
Thoughts On My Visit
I honestly have no idea where to start. My better understanding of how government functions? How grateful I am for the outpouring of kind words? That feeling of having (with Bethany and Glozell) represented the YouTube community proudly and opened some eyes in legacy media? My complete elation that it’s done, and I did it, and now I can finally stop worrying about it?
I don’t know.
I just feel really good.
Thanks to all the people at the White House and Google who helped make this possible. We worked exclusively with fantastic, very cool people during this process.
And thanks most of all to the people who choose to spend their time not just watching YouTube videos but becoming part of a community. Thanks for being a part of this thing, and for somehow asking and allowing me to be a part of your voice. That is an opportunity I never expected and an honor I hope I was and am worthy of. I promise to do my best to deserve it.
I don’t know how this happened, but if it’s anybody’s doing, it’s yours. Thanks for being a part of this. The feels.

The Feels…
Just had a brief twitter exchange with CNN’s Senior White House Correspondent, Jim Acosta. I appear to be feeling feisty today.
I sometimes wonder why people rate books before they’re even published or written!?
Untitled: No Further Details about the Book Are Available is currently my 3rd best rated novel. TFIOS has an average of 4.41; Looking for Alaska is at 4.18, just squeaking past Untitled: No Further Details about the Book Are Available.
Neither Paper Towns (4.05) or An Abundance of Katherines (3.75) are as well-liked as the book I have not yet written.
New video: Racism in America by the Numbers

SOURCES:
Similar results have been found in the UK: and also in Australia. Also, this news story has some great analysis about employment and race.
This (dated) study is also damning, and there’s lot of good info here.
The most recent polls show fewer white people thinking racism is not a problem than the ones I used in this video MY BAD (although still a huge divide): here and here and here.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I wanted to make sure I sourced everything.
