Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins was born in 1963. As a child, she moved from town to town because her father served as an airman in the Air Force. When she was older, she attended New York University and she received a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Dramatic Writing. After she graduated, in the 1980’s she moved to New York City. After, in the 1990’s, she began to work on children’s television shows. When she was working on a Kids WB show called Generation O!, she met a guy named James Proimos who convinced her to try to begin to write children’s literature. She currently lives in Connecticut.

In addition to The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins has written many other books for children. One of the most relevant other titles is the sequels to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay. Other titles include The Gregor the Overlandor, Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane, Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods, Gregor and the Marks of the Secret, and Gregor and the Code of Claw. These five books are part of The Underland Chronicles, a recreation of Alice in Wonderland that takes place in an urban setting. Two more titles are Fire Proof: Shelby Woo #11 and When Charlie McButton Lost Power. That’s a little bit about Suzanne Collins.
