Suzanne Collins

Suzanne Collins' career started off in 1991 when she began writing children's television shows.  She worked on the staff of Nickelodeon shows including Clarissa Explains it All and The Mystery Files of Shelby.  She also wrote many stories that were geared toward preschool children. The series that she wrote stories for were called Little Bear and Oswald.  She co-wrote the famous Christmas specials Santa Baby!  Also she was the Head Writer for Clifford's Puppy Days.  She met James Proimos when she was Kids WB.  He was the person who first convinced her to start writing children's books.   The first book that she wrote was Gregor the Overlander.  This book was the start of a five book series called The Underland Chronicles.  Most recently she has worked written the Hunger Games series.  Which have perhaps been her greatest success.
