Kate DiCamillo

Kate DiCamillo is a great author. I think her writing is creative and I like it and it helped me understand the story. Her first book was "Because of Winn-Dixie". Kate DiCamillo worked in a small warehouse, where she once met with someone who worked for a publisher company named "Candlewick Press" and she submitted the draft of "Because of Winn-Dixie". And after that the book became popular and in 2005 the book was released as a film by "20th Century Fox". After that she became a very busy and famous author. She started writing when she was 30 years old because her hobby is reading and her goal is to write 2 pages a day.


Did you know that she got the idea of writing "Because of Winn-Dixie" because she felt homesick of Florida and she missed her dog very much, that inspired her to write. When she published "Because of Winn-Dixie" alot of interviews from local Newspaper to make her article.
