Personal life

Ignatow was born and raised in Huntington, New York, on Long Island. She graduated from Huntington High School in 1995.[1] She attended SUNY Oneonta and later transferred to study illustration at Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, graduating magna cum laude in 2002.[2] In 2009, she sold her first book to Abrams Books and bought a home in Mount Airy, Philadelphia.[3][4]

Professional career

Her first book, The Popularity Papers: Research for the Social Improvement and General Betterment of Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang, was published by Amulet Books in spring 2010. Positive reviews of the book appeared in The New York Times,[5] School Library Journal,[6] and other publications and review web sites, such as KidLiterate.[7] The sequels were similarly well-reviewed,[8] and became a seven-book series about middle schoolers Julie and Lydia.

Ignatow has since written several additional children's books.[9]

According to her author biography, Ignatow has worked as a teacher, a farmer, a florist, a short-order vegan cook, a ghostwriter for Internet personal ads, a telefundraiser, a wedding singer, and an air-brush face and body painter.[4]
