Walter Dean Myers, born on August 12, 1937, was an American writer of children's books.

He was known for young adult literature(文学). He wrote more than 100 books, including picture books and non-fiction. "I care about writing for young people because I remember how much I needed help and guidance(指导)at that time in my life,”Myers said in his book.

Myers loved writing. He got up at five o'clock every morning. He worked at home in a small office that used to be his son's bedroom.

Myers would first write an outline(提纲)for every book. He called this prewriting. He imagined what the story would be and write down ideas in a notebook. To make sure there are enough actions and dialogue for a good story, he thought of 30 scenes. He wrote a short description of each scene in his notebook.

He also cut out pictures of real people and put them on his office walls. He looked at those pictures and came up with ideas. Once he knew what the story would be and who the characters were, he began to write the book. He wrote five pages a day on his computer.

Myers usually worked on three books at a time. When he was not prewriting or writing a book, he might be rewriting something he had already completed. Then he would send the story to his agent(经纪人). He or she made suggestions for the story. After these final changes were made, the book was published and made its way to bookstores and libraries.

By that time, Myers would begin to write his next book. "I want to do the best that I can do with my writing,”said Myers.
