Patricia McCormick is an American journalist and author of several critically acclaimed novels. Raised in a traditional Catholic household in Central Pennsylvania, her parents discouraged her career in writing and suggested she find work in the government sector. While McCormick was employed in state government, the Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred mere miles from her office. Witnessing the media coverage of this tragedy convinced McCormick that journalism was her calling.

McCormick attended Rosemont College from 1974-1978 before earning her MS from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and an MFA from the New School in 1999.
