Finding biographical information about authors and illustrators can sometimes be challenging. Information about well-established authors and illustrators is typically easier to find than that of newly published authors and illustrators. The first place to start to look for scholarly information about your author/illustrator is the Something About the Author Database from Gale Literature. This database will not have every published author/illustrator, but it is a good place to begin your research.
After looking in this database, find the author/illustrator's official website and social media accounts to find interviews and book promotions.
Something About the Author Online provides access to volumes printed in Gale's series, which examines the lives and works of authors and illustrators for children and young adults and is a source on authors and literature for young people.It includes both the main series and Something About the Author Autobiography Series.
