Roth writes in English across several related genres, including young adult literature, science fiction, and children's fiction. Her notable work Divergent is among the titles most closely associated with her name. In recognition of her writing, she received the 21st Century Award, a concrete marker of the attention her work attracted within the field of fiction.
