Laurie B. Friedman ist eine erfolgreiche amerikanische Autorin, die vor allem für ihre Kinderbücher und Jugendromane bekannt ist. Sie wurde am 28. Januar 1964 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, geboren und verbrachte ihre Kindheit mit einer Leidenschaft für das Schreiben, wobei sie oft unter einer Magnolie in ihrem Hinterhof saß und schrieb. Friedman verfolgte ihr Interesse an Literatur am Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, und setzte ihr Studium an der Sorbonne in Paris, Frankreich, fort.
Bevor Friedman Vollzeitautorin wurde, arbeitete sie in der Werbebranche und arbeitete freiberuflich für verschiedene Zeitungen und Magazine. Jetzt ist sie eine Bestseller-Autorin mit über 50 preisgekrönten Büchern zu ihrem Namen. Ihre beliebtesten Werke umfassen die Mallory McDonald-Serie und The Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair-Serie. Neben ihren Kapitelbüchern hat Friedman viele reimenden Bilderbücher geschrieben, darunter die Ruby Valentine-Serie.
Friedman ist eine engagierte und leidenschaftliche Schriftstellerin, die Inspiration aus ihren eigenen Lebenserfahrungen schöpft. Sie genießt es, Zeit mit ihrer Familie zu verbringen, einschließlich ihrer beiden Kinder und ihres Hundes. In ihrer Freizeit liebt sie es zu lesen, zu tanzen, zu wandern, zu backen, Yoga zu machen, Filme anzusehen und zum Strand zu gehen. Friedman ist auch eine aktive Rednerin und besucht häufig Schulen in den USA, um ihren Schülern ihre Liebe zum Schreiben zu vermitteln. Derzeit wohnt Friedman in Miami, Florida.
