- Amelia Elizabeth Walden was born in New York City. She graduated from Columbia University in 1934, and attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. From 1935 to 1945, she taught English and Dramatics at Norwalk High School in Connecticut. In 1946, she married John William Harmon. In the same year, she published her debut novel, Gateway, one of the first American books aimed at a young adult audience.
She wrote, produced, and directed plays off-Broadway, and wrote than 40 novels in a variety of genres. The Amelia Elizabeth Walden Award, established by the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of the National Council of Teachers of English (ALAN), is presented annually in the USA for a work of fiction that exemplifies literary excellence, widespread teen appeal, and a positive approach to life.
Her papers are held at the University of Oregon Libraries.
