Hi, I’m Allen Zadoff.

Welcome to my author website! I'm an Award-Winning Author known for my books and series such as Boy Nobody, I Am the Weapon, Wild & Chance, and others. My writing spans across thrillers, YA contemporary fiction, and a memoir for adults called Hungry. I write thrilling and funny books that explore themes of self-esteem, body image, and personal identity, and encourage readers to see the world as a place full of possibilities.

Recently, I've embarked on a new journey, merging my passion for technology with my love for writing. As an expert in AI and its applications in the creative process, I've authored "The AI Revolution for Writers," a practical guide and ethical exploration for writers looking to understand and utilize AI tools in their work.

I can't wait for you to dive in and discover the world of literature and innovation I've created.

Exciting Book News!

I'm thrilled to share that my upcoming YA rom/com, The Donut Prince of New York, has found its home with Holiday House and editor Elizabeth Law! This novel dives deep into the life of 16-year-old Eugene Guterman—a high school playwright wrestling with a budding crush, food and body issues, and the challenges of newfound popularity.

Some of you know from my past work that the struggles with weight and body image aren't just a theme in my books—they've been real chapters in my life. At a time when men rarely discussed these concerns, I faced them head-on. While the world has changed, stories spotlighting male protagonists grappling with such issues remain rare. Hence, The Donut Prince is not just a story—it's a conversation I believe is long overdue.

Mark your calendars for a Winter 2024 release and stay tuned for updates! 🍩📚🌟

Life changing!” —Stuart Krichevsky, Founder, Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency
