Biography

Margaret Peterson Haddix was born in 1964 near Washington Court House, Ohio, where she grew up on a farm.[2]

She received a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing and journalism from Miami University in 1987. She worked as a newspaper copy editor in Fort Wayne, Indiana; as a newspaper reporter in Indianapolis; and as a community college instructor and freelance writer in Danville, Illinois.
