Aprilynne Pike was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona.[3] She enjoyed creative writing even as a young child.

Pike tried to get published for several years without success. Her first book to be published was Wings (2009) which became a New York Times best-seller. This book became part of a four-book series written by Pike.[7] Wings debuted as a New York Times best-seller and reached the #1 spot on the Children's Best Seller list,[8] making Pike the best-selling non-celebrity children's author to debut in 2009.[9] Her second novel likewise debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list.[10] When her debut series reached three books and was moved to the New York Times best-selling Children's Series list, it became a best-selling series.[11] Illusions and Destined also debuted on the USA Today Bestseller list, which combines books across all genres.[12]
Pike cites several authors as influential in her writing, including young adult authors Stephenie Meyer—who promoted Pike's debut via cover blurb—and Lois Lowry.[13]
