His best-selling novels span various genres such as young adult, dark fantasy, modern fables, erotica and pop culture. Arduino's work has been published in Italy, the United States, Japan, Germany and Spain. Arduino has written under many different pseudonyms such as Joe Arden and Jonathan Snow but has mostly used his real name since 2003 for novels as Chiudimi le labbra (Lain Books, Rome, 2005) and Mai come voi (Sperling & Kupfer, Milan, 2004).
Giovanni Arduino has been a scout, senior editor and editor-at-large for Sperling & Kupfer Editori, Milan, Italy, since the mid-1990s.
