About the Author
Writing non-fiction for children and young adults was never the plan for author Matt Doeden. After graduating with a degree in journalism, he was on the path to a career as a newspaper writer before fate stepped in and landed him an editing job with Minnesota-based publisher Capstone Press. After six years on Capstone's editorial staff, Doeden struck out on a new career path, as a freelance author and editor.Since then, he's written hundreds of books--mainly nonfiction--on a wide range of topics. From sports to current events to science and history, he's written for everyone from preschoolers to high schoolers.A note for those writing letters. Please include an addressed, stamped envelope if you want a reply! I get piles of letters from students, especially during those months when classrooms are including it as a class exercise, and this saves me a lot of time. It doesn't sound like much, but not having to address and stamp envelopes allows me to reply efficiently and quickly, and then get back to writing!
