One thing people do at A-Camp is leave little cut-out snippets of Baby-Sitter’s Club books in each other’s pigeon holes (not a euphemism). “Taking care of them is like my version of babysitting.” “Right now I have five kittens, and their default setting is making the tiniest little hisses you can imagine,” she says. “I’ve probably fostered hundreds of cats,” she says. I might as well be copying and pasting this out of my own personal journal: With her partner at the time, Laura Godwin (they’ve since broken up), she wrote four Doll People books, tales of what a child’s doll collection does when no one’s watching. The confirmation of Martin’s sexual orientation is tucked unassumingly in today’s New York magazine interview about her new book series. Martin is queeeeer.Īpparently rumors have been swirling about such a thing for years, fueled by the fact that: a) Martin went to Smith, which is true of exactly 87 percent of all queer writers, and b) She just walked around town talking about her gayness to people in literary circles, as reported in 2007 by a famous gossip LiveJournal. Martin at all! Well, I’m over that now because in a new profile with New York magazine, Martin explains that she wrote a whole lot of the books and outlined and line edited every single one of them.
Martin with my deepest secrets, but it turns out it wasn’t Ann M. Martin, and let me tell you something: I felt so betrayed! I poured my adolescent feelings into those books like Ginny Weasley did with Tom Riddle’s diary (particularly the feelings I had about the feelings Kristy very obviously had about Mary Ann). I was in my late 20s when I found out the many of the later Baby-Sitter’s Clubs books had been ghostwritten by people who were not Ann M.
