Gordon Korman is the author of more than sixty books for kids and youngadults. His writing career began at the age of twelve, when he new English teacher required all students in 7th grade class to write a novel over course of the semester, which was then published while hewas a freshman in high school.
Now, several decades later, he is a full-time writer, with more than 15 million copies of his novels in print. His books have been translated into fourteen languages.Each year, he travels extensively, visiting schools and libraries, bringing his trademark humor and adventurous style to readers everywhere.
What is the secret of Gordon’s success? “It’s a combinationbetween real life and pure imagination,” he says. “I always start off with something real, but then I unleash my imagination to make it more exciting, funnier, or a better story. To be honest, by thetime a book is done, you can’t recognize much of the real-life part. It’s been changed too much. But I never could have gotten there without it.” A native of Canada, Gordon now lives with his family inLong Island, New York.
Gordon eventually made one of his homes in New York City, where he studied film and film writing. While in New York, he also met his future wife, and they eventually married-- they now have three children. He now lives on Long Island, outside of New York City, has approximately 70 books to his credit, and is currently contracted for several more.
