Author Donna Tartt managed to publish her work for the first time at the age of 13

Donna Tartt, who began writing her first novel at the age of 19, has established herself as one of the greatest American authors of the last half-century. With a career spanning about 40 years, the Bennington University graduate has written three novels, The Secret History (1992), The Little Friend (2002), and The Goldfinch (2013).

Tartt was born in Mississippi to a musician father and a secretary mother. She was considered a genius from an early age and managed to have her work published for the first time when she was 13 years old and her sonnet made it to the pages of The Mississippi Review.

Donna Tartt has a very intricate writing process, which she spoke about in an interview on BBC Newsnight nine years ago. She revealed that she writes every day and that most of The Goldfinch was written in a New York public library.

She said:

"I write every day, and even if I have guests, I will slip away (to) my little room where I work."

She added:

"Not every day do I sit down and write a tremendous block of finished prose but I'm always fiddling around and writing little bits and bobs of things"

In a 2022 Q&A with today.com, Donna Tartt revealed that she stays off social media as a result of her late friend, poet, and essayist Becky Swift's advice on it being a noisy, shallow, and distracting monstrous waste of energy and time.

She said:

"It would be years before people started talking about how destructive social media was, or how insidious it would turn out to be on so many cultural, political and personal levels. So I’m hugely grateful to Becky for steering me away from it before I stumbled into it unawares."

The author does not have much of a social media presence and has an official Twitter account with over 8,500 followers. However, the only thing on her page is an Amazon link to purchase The Goldfinch.
