About The Author
The author of the Dork Diaries series, Rachel Renee Russell is a lawyer who prefers writing children’s books to legal briefs (mainly because books are a lot more fun and pyjamas and bunny slippers aren’t allowed in court). She has raised two daughters and lived to tell about it. Rachel lives in northern Virginia, USA, with a spoiled pet Yorkie who terrorises her daily by climbing on top of her computer and pelting her with stuffed animals while she writes. And, yes, Rachel considers herself a total Dork!
Inspiration Behind The Series
Rachel says, “The Dork Diaries series was inspired by my dorky daughter, Nikki, who is also the illustrator of the books. The main character, Nikki Maxwell, is named after her. Many of the
dramatic tales, zany escapades, and exciting adventures chronicled in the books are based on real-life experiences from our own middle-school years. I am thrilled to know that girls and boys
around the world enjoy my book series and are inspired to embrace their uniqueness.”
