Author Bio
Ed Masessa was raised in the small town of Middlesex, NJ and attended Rutgers University. As anyone who has met him can attest to, he lives by the mantra “Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.” He retired from Scholastic Book Fairs in 2016 where he was responsible for selecting many of the books that appeared on the fairs. Twenty or so years ago, he turned to the wonderful memories of his childhood and began to write. His second book, The Wandmaker’s Guidebook, had a nine-week run on the NY Times Bestseller list, two weeks at #1! Now a full-time writer, he remains active in the Kidlit community by participating in library, reading, and writing conferences throughout the year, and by visiting schools to share his writing techniques with students. He is also an active member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Visit Ed at http://www.edmasessa.com.
