Recently named Attitude magazine’s person of the year, Oseman was also the writer and an executive producer for the Netflix Heartstopper adaptation. Oseman secured their first publishing deal at 17 and has gone on to write four YA novels, two novellas, five graphic novels, an official colouring book and a yearbook.
“I can take my time with the end of the story, make sure all of the characters get their final moment to shine, and properly explore how Nick and Charlie’s relationship progresses in their final years of school”, they said. They said that while they had said for a long time that the series would end with volume five, after struggling with where the story was going, Oseman decided to “cold turkey to stop making the comic for a while, just to kind of take a step back, reassess, get my brain in a better space”.ĭuring this time, Oseman realised that the story would work better across two volumes. With her first young adult novel ‘ Solitaire ’ being published when Alice Oseman was just nineteen years old, the author has certainly built quite the career for herself. Oseman also announced that volume five would not be the final volume of Heartstopper. “Summer is on its way and Charlie has been working really hard on his mental health and he is starting to find an inner confidence: who he is, what he wants, what he wants to do with his life, while Nick is having a little bit of a crisis about where he’s going to go to university because he’ll have to make his university application choices very soon.” He will have to decide whether to choose somewhere far away, or stay closer to Charlie. The forthcoming book will “follow the gang as they look towards the future,” said Oseman.
