Louis Sachar was born on March 20, 1954, in East Meadow, New York. He received his B.A. degree in economics from the University of California in 1976. While there he took a class about how to become a teacher's aide. He took the class because it sounded easy. It turned out to be his favorite class and it led him to writing children's books.

After college he worked at a sweater warehouse in Connecticut and wrote at night. After he was fired from that job he went to law school. His first book, Sideways Stories From Wayside School, was published during his first week of school. He earned his J.D. degree from Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco in 1980. He worked part time for a lawyer but soon decided he wanted to write full time. He became a full-time writer in 1989.

Sachar says it takes him about a year and a half to write a book. Once he starts he doesn't talk about it to anyone until he's finished. No one is allowed in his office while he is writing except for his two dogs, Lucky and Tippy. Most of his ideas come from what he remembers doing and feeling and thinking as a child. Sachar also gets some of his ideas from his daughter. Some of the Marvin Redpost books are based on her. The idea for There's A Boy in the Girl's Bathroom came from his wife. She was working as a counselor at an elementary school when he met her.

Sachar lives in Austin, Texas with his wife Carla and their daughter, Sherre.
