About this author

edit data

When Kaleb Nation was twelve, he telephoned the editor of a major publisher to pitch a book idea… and got to talk with security instead. Unhindered by rejection, he continued to write, and on the third night of the third month in 2003 had a sudden idea for a novel. His debut, The Farfield Curse, was published on 9/9/09, and the sequel, The Specter Key, on 10/10/10, in the US, UK and Canada. One of his publishers is the same that had rejected him years before.

At 13, Kaleb hosted his first radio show, later launching his own nationally syndicated program in 2006 called The Top 5. Kaleb’s show grew to be broadcast on FM, AM, Internet and Satellite radio stations in over 20 states and countries.

At 13, Kaleb hosted his first radio show, later launching his own nationally syndicated program in 2006 called The Top 5. Kaleb’s show grew to be broadcast on FM, AM, Internet and Satellite radio stations in over 20 states and countries. Few of his affiliates realized he was recording the shows in his bedroom. In 2008, Kaleb left radio to focus on writing and viral media.

Entering into the online world, Kaleb launched a blog at TwilightGuy.com, giving chapter-by-chapter insight from a guy’s perspective on The Twilight Saga, a series of popular novels. The website went on to receive over 6.5 million hits and was widely featured in the media, including Businessweek, Entertainment Weekly and on MTV. Kaleb was granted red carpet access at the Twilight Saga film premieres to interview the stars and author Stephenie Meyer, who says TwilightGuy.com “…made me laugh buckets.”.

As a hub for his online audience, Kaleb launched YouTube.com/KalebNation. Kaleb’s channel gathered over 69,000 subscribers and 28 million views, and continues to receive 700,000 – 1.5 million views a month. His videos have appeared on MTV, Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post and more.

In 2011, Kaleb signed on to star in his own reality TV show about his life as an author and Youtube personality, titled KALEB’S NATION. The show is produced by Mark Morgan (“The Twilight Saga” movies), Kami Garcia (“The Beautiful Creatures Series”), Michael Pollack (“Black Forest”), and Brett Hudson (“Cloud 9″). Brett Hudson will also direct, and Kaleb will co-produce the show.

In his free time, Kaleb enjoys photography, making music and posting at Twitter.com/KalebNation. A homeschool graduate and a black belt in taekwondo, he lives in California and turned 23 in 2011.(less)
