Stephenie berättar att hon höll sitt skrivande om twilight hemligt, inte ens hennes man visste vad hon skrev om. Men tillslut berättade hon för sin man om boken. Hon jämför det hela med Edward och hans mystiska hemlighet som han först höll undan från Bella.

"I didn't tell him what I was doing," Meyer says. "So he was mystified. And a little irritated that I was hogging the computer all the time. I had as hard a time telling him I was writing a story about vampires as Edward did telling Bella he was one," she laughs.

After finishing the manuscript, Meyer's sister persuaded her to approach a literary agent. Letters were sent to 15. Five of those didn't bother to reply, while she received nine rejections. The last eventually led to a three-book deal and film rights.
