Novik has won many awards for her work, including the Alex, Audie, British Fantasy, Locus, Mythopoeic and Nebula Awards.

Early life

Novik grew up in Roslyn Heights on Long Island. She is a second-generation American; her father's family were Lithuanian Jews, and her mother's family were Polish Catholics.{{Cite web |url=https://www.pastemagazine.com/books/naomi-novik/naomi-novik-talks-spinning-silver/|title=Naomi Novik Talks Spinning Silver, Her Rumpelstiltskin-Inspired Novel|last=Jackson |first=Frannie |work=Paste |date=July 10, 2018 |access-date=March 9, 2020}} Displaying an interest in reading at a young age, she read The Lord of the Rings at age six, and developed a love for Jane Austen soon afterward.

Career

Novik's first novel, His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire in the UK) is the first novel in the Temeraire series, an alternate history of the Napoleonic Wars in a "Flintlock Fantasy" world where dragons are abundant and are used in aerial combat. His Majesty's Dragon won the Compton Crook Award in 2007 and was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel.{{Cite web |title=Compton Crook Award: Past Award Winners |url=http://www.bsfs.org/CCA/bsfsccwinners-past.htm |access-date=July 3, 2019 |website=Baltimore Science Fiction Society}} Temeraire: In the Service of the King is omnibus volume collecting the first three books of the series (His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade, and Black Powder War); it won the Locus Award for Best First Novel in 2007.

In September 2006, Peter Jackson optioned the rights to the Temeraire series, intending to produce three or more live-action films, but the rights have since reverted to Novik.{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/YAwriters/comments/476y90/ama_naomi_novik_author_of_uprooted_the_temeraire/|title=r/YAwriters AMA: Naomi Novik, author of Uprooted & the Temeraire series|website=Reddit|date=February 23, 2016 |access-date=December 14, 2020}}{{cite web |last1=Creen |first1=Willow |date=September 11, 2006 |title=Peter Jackson Options Temeraire |url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/peter-jackson-options-temeraire/ |access-date=May 22, 2021 |website=Empire}}{{cite news |date=September 12, 2006 |title=Peter Jackson enters dragons' den |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2006/sep/12/books.news}} The Temeraire series has also been released in audiobook format.

In 2020, Novik published A Deadly Education, the first in a trilogy set in the Scholomance, the retelling of folklore about a school of black magic.

She revised the passage for future reprints, and promised that the sequel novels will not be sent to reviewers and publishers before "revisions are fully complete and a final sensitivity read has happened."{{cite web |last1=Novik |first1=Naomi |title=Apology for A Deadly Education |url=http://www.naominovik.com/apology/ |website=NaomiNovik.com |date=October 10, 2020 |access-date=May 23, 2021}}
