Suzanne Collins

Bestselling author Suzanne Collins first made her mark in children's literature with the New York Times bestselling Underland Chronicles for middle grade readers.  Her debut for readers aged 12 and up, The Hunger Games (September 2008), was an instant bestseller, appealing to both teen readers and adults. It was called "addictive" by Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly, and "amazing" by Stephenie Meyer on her website.  It has appeared on the New York Times bestseller list for more than 180 consecutive weeks/more than three consecutive years since publication. Foreign publishing rights for The Hunger Games trilogy have been sold almost into 50 territories.

Suzanne Collins also had a successful and prolific career writing for children's television. She has worked on the staffs of several Nickelodeon shows, including the Emmy®-nominated hit Clarissa Explains It All and The Mystery Files of Shelby Woo. She received a Writer's Guild of America nomination in animation for co-writing the critically acclaimed Christmas special, Santa, Baby!

In 2010 Collins was named to the TIME 100 list as well as the Entertainment WeeklyEntertainers of the Year list. In 2011 Fast Company named her to their 100 Most Creative People in Business.
