stayed home to take care of his 7 brothers and sisters. During high school he got his first job at a sweater factory and graduated in 1976. Louis attended college at the University of California and worked at a sweater factory, which was his first job. After college Louis attended law school where he decided he was going to become an author ,so he dropped out before the class was over. The reasons Louis wanted to become an author was because he simply loved writing and he was influenced by many people such as Margaret Atwood, E.L. Doctorow, Richard Price, J.D. Salinger, Kurt Vonnegut, and E.B. White.
Louis is mainly known for his childrens books like Holes, Small Steps, Marvin Redpost and many more.
He has also won many awards for his books like The National Book Award, Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book, Horn Book Fanfare Honor List, Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, and many more. In 1989 Louis became a full time author by writing his book “Sideway Stories From Wayside School” which is a very popular book. Louis the Yard Teacher has written over 20 fiction and educational books. One of his most famous books is “Holes”. Holes is very popular not only here in America but all around the world. The book Holes has sold over 8 million copies just here in America. It took Louis about a year and a half to complete the book Holes. The characters for the book Holes were based off some of his best friends in highschool and in the movie that was produced later on he was the screenwriter. Louis never tells anyone when he starts to write a book, he only tells them when he finishes. Louis started to love writing in highschool when he wrote his first children’s book. He presented it to some kindergarteners at his local school and they really enjoyed it so he continued to write them. The first thing Louis does is write every morning with his dogs who are named Lucky and Tippy. He writes for about two hours then goes on with his everyday life. The reason Louis, the Yard Teacher, only writes for two hours a day is because that is the longest or largest amount of time he can do one task without getting unfocused, anxious, or just bored with himself. After his two hour writing session Louis pretty much lives a normal life. He takes his dog’s for a walk and is active at a local
gym. Louis Sachar is a very fun and interesting person. He has always loved to write and always will. Louis once said the writing takes self motivation, which means that if you don't have the motivation to write then you won’t like to do it or you will just quit before you finish. As I have already said Louis was an award winning author and has been writing over twenty-seven years. Louis is one of the best authors in the world.
