Susan Campbell Bartoletti (born November 18, 1958) is an American writer of children's literature whose work includes Kids on Strike!
Campbell Bartoletti began her career as an eighth-grade English teacher before deciding to pursue writing in earnest.
I wanted to practice what I preached, so I joined a writers group and got serious about my own writing.
Three years later, in 1992, Campbell Bartoletti published her first picture book, Silver at Night.
She held a rigid routine, waking early in the morning in order to write before she left to teach.
