Author 101: Ally Carter

Reading is a great way to escape the world for awhile be it through novels, magazines or Fanfiction. We thought it would be a great idea to introduce you to some of the best authors out there, so you might find something new to read if you feel like it!

Ally Carter is a YA author. She is best known for her ‘Gallagher Girls’ series.

Fun facts about Ally:

  1.  She is a new year day baby, she was born on January 1st, 1974
  2. Ally Carter is a pen name… her real name is Sarah Leigh Fogleman. She chose the name Ally Carter so readers wouldn’t confuse her YA and adult work. he last name “Carter” was specifically selected so that her novels would be near those of her fellow adult fiction novelist Jenny Crusie on bookstore and library shelves.
  3.  Ally has written 3 YA series to date. The ‘Gallagher Girls’, Heist Society and Embassy Row.

Books Ally has written:

Gallagher Girls Series
