Bowker Biography:
Margie Doran

Margie Doran was born in Jersey City, N.J. and lived all of her childhood on 50th Street, North Bergen, New Jersey. Margie gleans all of her juvenile writing from that time. Her love for nature, spiritual beauty and innocence has given way to her inspiration. She has been a published poet and wrote Child Abuse for ABC News. Her poetry has graced the walls of television reporters, judges, and major corporations as well as family and friends where she has written explicitly for each individual. Mrs. Doran has lectured on poetry and writing at many elementary schools. It was during this time Sunflower Serenade was field-tested. although, she has stated, "At the conception of this book, I had assumed it would be for very young and preschool children, but found it appealed to 8 years olds as well." All her writing is always field tested because she says, "Children are very honest; they tell the truth, and my success is attributed to their enthusiasm to want more of my stories. When they start asking will I come back again, or what will be my next book, I know they liked what they read. Children are underrated and much more imaginative and nostalgic than some adults even realize."

For the past eleven years Margie Doran has taught many children how to write creatively. Marge Doran now lives in Maryland with her husband. She is active in her church, is a mother and grandmother who continues to write in many venues.
