Wendelin Van Draanen has written more than thirty novels for young readers and teens. She is the author of the 18-book Edgar-winning Sammy Keyes mystery series, and wrote Flipped, which SLJ named a Top 100 Children’s Novel for the 21st Century and became a Warner Brothers feature film. Van Draanen’s latest novel is the YA
thriller, The Steps (Holiday House 9/2025).
A former high school teacher, Van Draanen is now a full-time writer. Her first non-fiction book, Hope in the Mail: Reflections on Writing and Life, is part memoir, part writing guide, and part publishing insight, suitable for emerging teen and adult writers.
