Alexandra Robbins

Alexandra Robbins follows real-life "main characters" for a year so readers can curl up with a smart, beach-read-style story that's "impossible to put down" (People Magazine), "better than reality TV" (Elle), leaves readers "hooked" (New York Times Book Review), and "keeps readers both captivated and well-informed" (Booklist). "For poolside nonfiction, she's the one you want" (Wander & Whine book blog). The author of 5 New York Times bestsellers and a Goodreads Nonfiction "Book of the Year," an award-winning journalist, and a substitute teacher, Robbins also has been honored with a Distinguished Service to Public Education award. Her work supports & amplifies voices that aren't often heard, such as educators (THE TEACHERS), nurses (THE NURSES), and student outsiders (THE GEEKS SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH).

When she's not writing or subbing, Robbins is probably baking or playing or coaching sports. A popular keynote speaker and lecturer, she is currently touring. To view topics or book a lecture, please visit alexandrarobbins.com.
