Kate Messner è una autrice molto apprezzata di letteratura per ragazzi, nota soprattutto per la sua serie Ranger in Time. La sua scrittura è progettata per ispirare e incoraggiare i bambini ad affrontare la vita con una generale curiosità. I libri di Messner hanno riscosso successo e sono stati inseriti nella lista New York Times Notable, oltre ad essere stati selezionati per Junior Library Guild, IndieBound e Best Books del Bank Street College of Education.
Messner non è solo una scrittrice di successo, ma anche una speaker molto richiesta. Ha parlato ad eventi prestigiosi come Ted nel 2012 e ha tenuto discorsi in tutta America. I suoi romanzi sono di genere storico, mistero e letteratura per ragazzi, che hanno ottenuto riconoscimenti sia a livello nazionale che internazionale. I premiati libri di Messner sono stati nominati e hanno ottenuto numerose recensioni positive.
Oltre a essere una scrittrice e una speaker, Messner è una ex insegnante di lingua inglese di scuola media e una educatrice certificata a livello nazionale. Ha conseguito una laurea in Giornalismo Broadcast presso la Newhouse School dell'Università di Syracuse e ha trascorso sette anni lavorando come produttrice e reporter di notizie televisive a Syracuse, NY e Burlington, VT. Successivamente, Messner è tornata a scuola per conseguire una laurea magistrale in educazione per l'insegnamento della lingua inglese a livello secondario ed ha insegnato lingua inglese per quindici anni prima di lasciare l'aula per dedicarsi a tempo pieno alla scrittura. Nonostante il suo fitto programma di scrittura, Messner trascorre ancora molto tempo a scuola, lavorando con i bambini come autrice ospite. Attualmente vive sul lago Champlain con la sua famiglia e sta cercando di raggiungere tutte le 46 vette più alte dei Monti Adirondack entro le scadenze dei suoi libri.
