since he wrote "the perks of being a wallflower", chbosky aspired to adapt it into a film, calling this "a lifelong dream of mine". after the publication of the novel, the author said he received film offers, refusing them because he "owed the fans a movie that was worthy of their love for the book". in 2010 mr. mudd began developing a film version, and the author was signed to write and direct the film by producers john malkovich, lianne halfon and russell smith. the film, shot in the pittsburgh area from may 9 to june 29, 2011, starred logan lerman as charlie, emma watson as sam, ezra miller as patrick, and nina dobrev as charlie's sister, candace.

in 1994, chbosky was working on a "very different type of book" than "the perks of being a wallflower" when he wrote the line, "i guess that's just one of the perks of being a wallflower." chbosky recalled that he "wrote that line. and stopped. and realized that somewhere in that [sentence] was the kid i was really trying to find." after several years of gestation, chbosky began researching and writing "the perks of being a wallflower", an epistolary novel that follows the intellectual and emotional maturation of a teenager who uses the alias charlie over the course of his first year of high school. the book is semi-autobiographical; chbosky has said that he "relate[s] to charlie[...] but my life in high school was in many ways different."
