Biographical / Historical
Kate McMullan was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri, where she fell in love with the act of reading and writing at a young age. After attending college and graduate school, she began her teaching career, but found that she did not have the time that she desired, to write. She then decided to move to New York City, where worked in publishing by day and on her writing by night. In 1977, her first children's book came out and in 1979, she married illustrator, Jim McMullan. Since then, McMullan has written over 50 books, including picture books, middle school chapter books,and nonfiction. And she has even collaborated with her husband, in her books, "I Stink!", "I'm Dirty!", "I'm Mighty!" and more. Currently, McMullan continues to write in New York with her family. She also teaches writing for children at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Education and is a member of the New School's MFA Writing Program.
