Ann Angel
believes it was amazing fortune that brought Janis’s music and style into her life when, as a teen, she preferred writing bad poetry and drawing to Janis’s songs over following along with the popular girls. It was that same influence that encouraged Ann to live her own life without compromise. Ann’s biography, Janis Joplin Rise Up Singing won the American Library Association’s 2011 YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award.
Ann has written many young adult biographies including her most recent, Janis Joplin Rise Up Singing. She served as contributing editor for the highly acclaimed Such a Pretty Face, Short Stories About Beauty, has a number of short stories in anthologies and is working on young adult fiction. A graduate of Vermont College’s MFA in writing for children and young adults, Ann lives in Wisconsin with her family and teaches creative writing at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee.
