Jay Schleifer

Originally from New York City, I’ve lived all over the US and now have settled in South Florida.

I majored in history in college but as a first job after graduation, I taught elementary school and discovered I loved creating original materials for the kids. That led to 15 years with the Weekly Reader Company, as a writer, editor and learning programs developer, serving the WR audience of more than 6 million young people. I’ve also written some 40 published books for kids from preschool through high school and relished every minute of it. With my wife Susan, also a writer, and our pet pooch, Cindy, (short for Cinderella as she was a rescue who’s now our princess) at my side, I hope to write a lot more.
