From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Ann Matthews Martin (born August 12, 1955, in Princeton, New Jersey) is an American author of children's and young adult books, most notably the Baby-Sitters Club series.

She graduated from Smith College in 1977 with a double major in psychology and elementary education, later becoming a teacher and then an editor of children's books. Her first book was Bummer Summer, published in 1983. Ideas from Martin's books came from personal experiences, including her own babysitting as a child.

Martin lives in Hudson Valley, New York. According to the bio blurb in the back of the Baby-Sitters Club books, she "likes ice cream and I Love Lucy, and hates to cook."

In 1990, she created the Ann M. Martin Foundation, which provides grants to causes benefiting children, education/literacy programs, and homeless people and animals.
