That
little girl became a student at Smith College, a teacher, an editor
of children's books, a full-time writer, and THEN a best-selling
author!
This
is not made any less amazing when you realize that Martin only wrote
the first 35 books in the series before a staff of “ghost writers”
started working on the series. After all, that staff WAS working with
the characters and format and even “voice” that Martin had
already established.
By
the time the series ended, there were 213 books in the series, and
Martin wrote between 60 and 80 of them.

Ann
M. Martin also wrote two novels-in-letters – P.S. Longer Letter
Later and Snail Mail No More – with author Paula
Danzinger, plus loads of other non-Baby-Sitters Club books. Her book
A Corner of the Universe won a Newbery Honor in 2003.
Have
you ever enjoyed a book series? Which one?
