Myron Levoy
(b. 1930)

Myron Levoy, who was born and raised in New York City, writes poetry, plays, and stories for both young people and adults. Although he always had an interest in writing, Levoy's other interests led him into chemical engineering. He received bachelors and masters of science degrees from the City College of New York and Purdue University, and he had a successful career as a chemical engineer. Levoy continued to write even during his engineering days, publishing poetry and short stories. In his writing, he shows a special interest for "the 'outsider,' the loner…who must come to terms with and face his or her own uniqueness." His novels for young adults include, Alan and Naomi (1977), Three Friends (1984), and Kelly 'n' Me (1992).
