Joey Graceffa Children of Eden
Rowan is a Second Child in a world where population control measures make her an outlaw, marked for death. She can never go to school, make friends, or get the eye implants that will mark her as a true member of Eden. Her kaleidoscope eyes will give her away to the ruthless Center government.
Outside of Eden, Earth is poisoned and dead. All animals and most plants have been destroyed by a man-made catastrophe. Long ago, the brilliant scientist Aaron al Baz saved a pocket of civilization by designing the EcoPanopticon, a massive computer program that hijacked all global technology and put it to use preserving the last vestiges of mankind. Humans will wait for thousands of years in Eden until the EcoPan heals the world.
As an illegal Second Child, Rowan has been hidden away in her family’s compound for sixteen years. Now, restless and desperate to see the world, she recklessly escapes for what she swears will be only one night of adventure. Though she finds an exotic world, and even a friend, the night leads to tragedy. Soon Rowan becomes a renegade on the run – unleashing a chain of events that could change the world of Eden forever.

Joey Graceffa Interview
Where do you see yourself in your career right now?
Joey Graceffa:I think the cool thing about being a YouTuber is that fact that you aren’t limited to anything. I mean, you can put your own limits on yourself — I’m one of the people that doesn’t. My channel is a variety of all sorts of things.
It’s constantly evolved, and I think that’s how I’ve stayed relevant on the platform for so long, because I’m constantly changing what I’m doing. Currently, right now, I think it’s so cool I get to do fun, crazy stuff on my channel daily, but I can also do big projects like “Escape the Night” with YouTube Red. I think that’s where my true passion lies: being a creative, and creating big worlds and stories, and seeing them come to life.
How did you start the “Children of Eden” book series?
Joey Graceffa:It’s something that I have had in my mind for a few years. It started as a short film idea. So I had it all in my head; it was just a matter of getting it down. It’s just been really cool to start with a small scene, and slowly build up this world, and I’ve just finished the second book [“Elites of Eden”].
It’s crazy to think I have one of these out in the world after being an avid reader of the genre in my teenage years. … YouTube’s allowed me to create this universe that I hope will be able to be turned into a movie like “Hunger Games” and “The Maze Runner” and “Divergent” — that’s the goal with that, and where I kind of where I want to see myself go.
happens in the third book?
Joey Graceffa:Well, I haven’t started that. [Laughs] I’m still working on it! As I’m creating this, it’s all as if it’s a movie. I see things very visually. When I sit down, I can just imagine a scene taking place and I trust my instinct.
Have you pitched the books to studios?
Joey Graceffa:Not really. We’re kind of going the route of trying to attach a producer or a writer, someone I can take with me into these meetings. It’s kind of in the beginning phases.
Would you star in it?
Joey Graceffa:I’d have a role in it, just because I have a love for acting. But it’s mostly just the creating. I don’t mind having other actors play the main characters, as long as I get to have a small little part.
What was your original career goal?
Joey Graceffa:Obviously this has been evolving over the years. Before this was even a possibility to be a career, I wanted to go the traditional route of maybe being an actor or being in film somehow. Slowly, I just started to realize that what I’m doing is what I love.
And why am I trying to go out and attain something that maybe was the mentality of a few years ago of what was the thing to want. After realizing that, I kind of homed in on my channel, and figuring out what I love to do — without having to go out and wish for things. And just make them happen myself.
Right after you came out [in 2015], you talked about your concern beforehand about revealing your sexual orientation publicly — you said, “The internet is full of trolls and haters.” Do you still think that’s the case?
Joey Graceffa:Maybe they’re still there — but I just don’t see them. YouTube has some tools, you can block out certain comments. I never really see it on Twitter. Of course, when you’re a little controversial online, that’s when the strangers find you — and that’s when the hate comes.
I think right now I’m in a place where I just really have the people who have found me are looking at me, and I’m not getting a lot of outside attention from strangers from me acting wild, or being a crazy YouTuber and causing controversy and being problematic. I kind of like to stay out of the drama. I feel like if you’re in the drama, yeah, it will get you attention now but that will fade.
How is season 2 of “Escape the Night” different from the first one?
Oh, my gosh. We learned so much from the first season, the second season we could make bigger and better. It was just a bigger production. We also have a great cast this season—there’s a lot more lighthearted moments, because we have such a comedic cast.
We have Liza Koshy, the Gabbie Show, and Tyler Oakley who gave so many funny moments. We didn’t take ourselves so seriously. Season one was more like murder-mystery vibe; this is more like a group escape.
Who are some YouTubers you would love to get for season 3 of “Escape the Night”?
Joey Graceffa:Well, I haven’t gotten the OK for season three. [Laughs] But there are a few people I really, really would love. I would love Jenna Marbles… I don’t know, I don’t want to put it out there! It’s tough, it’s a big ask for YouTubers to dedicate the time. It’s five days filming straight with night shoots… although, if you get killed off the show, you don’t have to stay all five days.
How has it done for your brand?
For me personally, it’s opened me up to a newer audience. Just because with all the marketing YouTube is throwing at it. The show is almost like a giant collaboration. With 10 YouTubers, they’re all bringing their audience to the show.
Since it lives on my channel, they have to subscribe to get notified, so that was a benefit to me. … The first couple days [after “Escape the Night” season 2 premiered in June], I think I got 100,000 subscribers within the first two days of when it launched.
YouTube is your main platform. How do you think of other platforms in terms of reaching audience?
Joey Graceffa:It’s day to day, I post daily. It’s almost like a routine. Throughout my day, I’ll post on Instagram Stories, and I’ll throw to my most recent video.
I don’t use Snapchat—I’ll use the filters and put it on Instagram, but I don’t really use the platform. Facebook I’ll use just to promote videos. Twitter is really my main place to connect with my audience. They all have their own unique purpose.
