Grisham was born on February 8, 1955 in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The son of a construction worker dreamed of becoming a 'professional baseball player'. But when he realized that he did not have the necessary things, he diverted his car to another subject.

After graduating in law, he practiced law for ten years. He was elected and served in the Legislative Assembly from 1983 to 1990. One day, after hearing the story of a twelve-year-old girl who was raped, he started writing a novel based on it. He used to wake up at five in the morning and write novels before going to work. The novel was completed three years later; But publishers were not quick to accept.

He was a lawyer working sixty to seventy hours a week in Mississippi before earning the title of "author of legal thrillers." He spent all his time in the office. Sometimes before going to work and sometimes in between, he used to devote his time to novel writing. But soon his writing hobby turned into a full-time profession. A series of popular and exciting novels began. Nine of his novels have been made into films. Many of his novels became 'bestsellers'. Apart from writing, he is also involved in social work. Work is done for the people affected by the storm from the pandas they set up.
