Marilyn Singer has written over 80 books for children and young adults in many genres, including novels, picture books, non-fiction, short stories, and especially poetry. Her most recent books are I'm Your Bus (Scholastic) and I'm Getting a Check-Up (Clarion). This March, Mirror, Mirror: A Collection of Reversible Verse (Dutton) will be published. The poems, based on fairy tales, feature a form that Marilyn invented: the reverso. Marilyn has also edited four short story anthologies and contributed to a number of short story and poetry anthologies as well. She annually co-hosts the ALSC Poetry Blast at the ALA Conference.
She lives in Brooklyn, NY and Washington, CT with her husband and several pets.
