Dan Brown Biography

Dan Brown author

Dan Brown is an American author whose work includes the bestselling Robert Langdon series and standalone techno-thrillers.
Official website: danbrown.com

Dan Brown was born in 1964 in Exeter, New Hampshire. He grew up at the Phillips Exeter Academy’s campus, where his father taught mathematics and his mother was a church organist. That mix of science, music, and religion became a recurring theme in his fiction.

He studied at Amherst College from where he graduated in 1986. He also spent time in Seville studying art history, and before becoming a full-time author, he returned to Phillips Exeter to teach English.

In addition, he created a music record company called Dalliance, created a children’s cassette with the title SynthAnimals, and in 1990, he published a CD called Perspective.

In 2000, Dan Brown published Angels and Demons in which he introduced professor Robert Langdon, but it was not until The Da Vinci Code, released in 2003 that the series became a global publishing phenomenon that led to multiple film and TV adaptations.

In addition to the series, Dan Brown wrote two standalone thrillers and later published Wild Symphony, a picture book for young readers.

Currently, Dan Brown lives in New England.

  1. I am a huge fan of your books, are you planning to continue writing for Robert Langdon Series?

    1. Yep, a new Robert Langdon is scheduled for Fall 2025.

  2. If you have come to enjoy and appreciate Mr. Brown’s work, I strongly encourage you to attend his Master Class lectures. It is like spending two hours with him, one on one, and gaining full insight into how he creates his stories.

    I am a struggling author trying to make it. Mr. Brown shared all of his experiences, methods, process, and philosophy in this Master Class. HOW he presented this invaluable information was as beneficial as WHAT he presented.

    He has personally walked in the shoes of a struggling author and gladly, kindly shares his wisdom. Best of all, he humbly states what it takes to succeed sans any hype, hyperbole, advertisements, or promotions.

  3. why Dan Brown do not write a novel about the most bloodiest group of history of Islam ‘ASSASSINS’

  4. WSill we ever see another book in the Robert Langdon series? If so, when?

  5. What is the retentive memory thing called that the girl had in his books

  6. My considered opinion? Dan Brown ROCKS!!
    I am widely read … both fiction and non-fiction … former college lecturer (72 years old and no dementia!!)Sorry
