Pat Schmatz
Agent: Andrea Cascardi
Pat Schmatz grew up in rural Wisconsin, knowing that the only thing she wanted was to be a writer. She detoured to Michigan State University and UC–Berkeley for degrees in psychology and physical education, but circled quickly back to the world of adolescent literature. She now lives in Wisconsin, traveling frequently to Minneapolis for work and fun.
Pat’s first book, Mrs. Estronsky and the UFO, is a middle grade novel published by Windstorm Creative in 2001. Her next book, Circle the Truth (Carolrhoda Books, 2007) was a 2003 recipient of a fellowship grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. It was chosen by the Wisconsin Library Association as one of the Outstanding Books for Children by a Wisconsin Author in 2008, and was named by the Children’s Book Committee at Bank Street College of Education in their 2008 Edition of The Best Children’s Books of the Year. Mousetraps, also with Carolrhoda Books, was released in Fall 2008.
