Cecily Von Ziegesar
Cecily von Ziegesar (born 27 June 1970) is an American author of young adult novels. She is mainly popular for creating the Gossip Girl franchise.
In New York City, she found a job with book-packaging firm Alloy Entertainment, where she became inspired to create the Gossip Girl series.
The Gossip Girl books present a view of high-end teenage lifestyles. The series climbed to the top of the New York Times Best-Sellers list in 2002. The spin-off, The It Girl, made the list in 2005.
The Constance Billard School for Girls, the Gossip Girl characters' elite single-sex school, is based upon Von Ziegesar's all-girls private prep school, Nightingale-Bamford. As well, events from the book are based on her extremely wealthy friends who had "those parents" and "those lives", as well as Von Ziegesar's own life as being a gossip.
Controversy surrounding the show was the fact that it failed to show much of the book's plots, character personalities, and other major and minor facts. However, von Ziegesar stated to ABC News that her most major plot lines were there and "at least it takes place in New York
Von Ziegesar has a daughter named Agnes, and when asked if she was going to hide her daughter from the prep school girl life, Von Ziegesar replied " I would send her to Nightingale, I feel I got a great education there."
Von Ziegesar also has a son, named Oscar. Von Ziegesar, her husband, and two children reside in Brooklyn and have a nearly hairless cat named Pony Boy.[2] von Ziegesar and her family formerly resided in Irvington, New York.
