==Career==

=== Debut novel and ''Heartstopper'' webcomic ===
Oseman wrote her debut novel ''Solitaire'' when she was just 17 and secured a publishing deal for it by the time she was 19. It was published by [[HarperCollins]] in 2014 after a bidding war.<ref name="times" /> The book follows the story of Tori Spring, a pessimistic teenager, as she meets Michael Holden, her polar opposite and an unbelievable optimist. They attempt to discover the truth behind the anonymous group 'Solitaire' who commit a series of pranks at their school.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=jboo1698 |date=5 October 2014 |title=Solitaire by Alice Oseman – review |url=https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2014/oct/05/review-solitaire-alice-oseman |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200218165356/https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2014/oct/05/review-solitaire-alice-oseman |archive-date=18 February 2020 |access-date=25 February 2020 |work=The Guardian |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> Other characters include Tori's brother [[Charlie Spring|Charlie]], who has a severe eating disorder, and his boyfriend [[Nick Nelson (Heartstopper)|Nick]]. The novel explores themes such as friendship, depression, eating disorders, and [[LGBT+]] relationships.

''Solitaire'' was praised for its compelling characters and Oseman's young age at the time of publishing, landing her a [[BBC Breakfast]] interview on 22 July 2014.<ref name=":0" /> Oseman later published two ebook novellas based on characters from ''Solitaire'' - a sequel titled ''Nick and Charlie'' (July 2015) and a prequel titled ''This Winter'' (November 2015).

Upon "falling in love" with the characters of Nick and Charlie, Oseman decided their story needed further exploration and began the ''Heartstopper'' [[Heartstopper (graphic novel)|online webcomic]] series.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |last=Kelleher |first=Patrick |date=2022-04-22 |title=Heartstopper creator wanted to show queer teens that the future is bright |url=https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2022/04/22/heartstopper-netflix-alice-oseman-interview/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220913133115/https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2022/04/22/heartstopper-netflix-alice-oseman-interview/ |archive-date=13 September 2022 |access-date=2022-09-13 |website=PinkNews }}</ref> The episodic comic first appeared online on [[Tumblr]] and [[Tapas (website)|Tapas]] in September 2016 and follows Tori's younger brother Charlie through high school as he meets and then begins dating Nick Nelson.<ref>{{Cite tweet |number=1165652207506722816 |user=AliceOseman |title=OKAY GANG the response to this has been very positive so I've started uploading Heartstopper to Webtoon. |author=Alice Oseman |date=2019-08-25 |access-date=2022-09-12}}</ref>

While the comic features some of the same characters and takes place in the same universe and timeline as ''Solitaire'', its tone is notably different. Where Solitaire is a grimly realistic depiction of mental illness and struggle, ''Heartstopper'' provides a more uplifting view of the world and focuses much more on romance.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Oseman |first=Alice |title=In What Order Should I Read Your Books? |url=https://aliceoseman.com/ya-fiction/in-what-order-should-i-read-your-books/ |access-date=2024-10-02 |website=AliceOseman.com}}</ref>

=== Coming-of-age novels and critical success ===
In 2016, Oseman published her second novel, ''Radio Silence''.<ref>{{Cite news|last=HorseLover3000|url=https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2016/mar/31/radio-silence-alice-oseman-review|title=Radio Silence by Alice Oseman – review|date=31 March 2016|work=The Guardian|access-date=25 February 2020|issn=0261-3077|archive-date=25 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200225134350/https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/2016/mar/31/radio-silence-alice-oseman-review|url-status=live}}</ref> The novel follows Frances Janvier, a high-achiever whose life revolves around her admission to the [[University of Cambridge]], who meets the shy creator behind her favourite podcast, Aled Last. Themes such as academic pressures and LGBT+ relationships and identities are central to the novel. Oseman noted that Frances' experience in ''Radio Silence'' was similar to her own school pressure and later disillusionment with academia following her education at [[Durham University]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bookpage.com/behind-the-book/21186-you-dont-have-to-go-to-college-teen|title=Radio Silence by Alice Oseman – Behind {{!}} BookPage|website=BookPage.com|access-date=6 April 2019|archive-date=6 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190406195332/https://bookpage.com/behind-the-book/21186-you-dont-have-to-go-to-college-teen|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==== Osemanverse timeline ====
All of Oseman's novels take place in the same universe and many of the same characters re-appear in later works. ''Solitaire'' focuses mainly on Tori Spring, but her younger brother Charlie and his boyfriend Nick Nelson both feature heavily. They are then the main focus of ''Nick and Charlie'' as well as ''Heartstopper'' while ''This Winter'' features all three. Similarly, Aled Last first appears as a supporting character in ''Heartstopper'' as one of Charlie's close friends before becoming one of the two main protagonists of ''Radio Silence''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=PLYMC |first=Jenna |title=Alice Oseman & the Osemanverse |url=https://plymc.bibliocommons.com/list/share/2054313519/2118772379 |access-date=2024-10-02 |website=Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County |language=en-US}}</ref>

While the official timeline is ambiguous, ''Radio Silence'' is set roughly two years after the events of ''Solitaire'', ''I Was Born for This'' takes places around four years after that, and the events of ''Loveless'' occur around a year further on from that. The ''Heartstopper'' comics begin about a year prior to ''Solitaire'' but eventually catch up to and continue past it. The ''Nick and Charlie'' novella is the last chronologically in terms of Charlie and Tori's story, taking place about a year before ''Radio Silence'' begins.<ref name=":2" />

Oseman's body of work is set within a cohesive fictional universe. For instance, the characters Nick and Charlie initially debut in Oseman's novel, ''Solitaire'', and reappear in various works, most prominently in the ''Nick and Charlie'' novella and the ''Heartstopper'' graphic novels. This shared narrative universe has been informally termed the '''"Osemanverse"''' by some fans<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-04 |title=Heartstopper Books in Order: Your Osemanverse Series List |url=https://candidcover.net/heartstopper-books-in-order-list/ |access-date=2023-10-10 |archive-date=1 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231001152447/https://candidcover.net/heartstopper-books-in-order-list/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and even adopted by certain retailers.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Osemanverse Book Series |url=https://www.thriftbooks.com/series/osemanverse/180447/ |access-date=2023-10-10 |website=thriftbooks |archive-date=31 October 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231031150820/https://www.thriftbooks.com/series/osemanverse/180447/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
