Something About the Author Online
An award-winning reference series started in 1971, Something About the Author examines the lives and works of authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults. It includes not only well-known writers and artists but also less prominent individuals whose works are just coming to be recognized and is often the only readily available source on emerging authors and illustrators. Something About the Author Online also includes hundreds of original specially commissioned autobiography essays that have never been available online until now. These truly unique essays average about 10,000 words in length; are illustrated with an abundance of personal photos; and present an entertaining and informative first-person perspective on the lives and careers of prominent authors and illustrators.
