Marc has worked in the field of literature for younger readers for more than thirty years as an Author, Editor, Speaker, Publisher, and critic. He is the only person to have been a winner or finalist for both of the American Library Association's prizes for excellence in youth nonfiction as both an author and as an editor. Marc Aronson’s love of nonfiction and his conviction that young people can read carefully, examine evidence, and engage with new and challenging ideas is reflected in his teaching at Rutgers University, where he trains future librarians in how to select and share materials with children and teenagers, and his active work as an educational consultant, working with librarians, teachers, and administrators.
