Her work is embedded into myriad aspects of American literary culture,providing deep insights to the American literary scene at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century. She was born in 1939, in Toledo, OH., the daughter of Robert Kenneth Richards (1913-1969), a journalist and Government censor during WWII, and Helen Elizabeth Richards. She received her B.A.(magna cum laude), at the University of Pennsylvania, 1961; and her M.A., at the University of Virginia, 1969. She published her first book, A Fortunate Madness (1974), which marked the beginning of a consistently productive and successful publishing career as the author of both children's literature and adult fiction novels.","Shreve has been a significant participant in the Washington D.C. literary community for more than 40 years,combining her role as a writer with several literary occupations, including co-founder of the Master of Fine Arts Program in Writing at George Mason University (1980), and as co-founder, President, and Chairman of\nthe PEN/Faulkner Foundation, one of the leading literary foundations in the United States. At PEN/Faulkner she created the Writers in Schools program in 1989, which brings published authors and their books into urban schools. ","She has also been a Jenny Moore Fellow at George Washington\nUniversity, a visiting writer at Princeton University, the School of the Arts of Columbia University,Bennington College Summer Seminars, and Goucher College.","Further, her marriage (1987) to the literary agent Timothy Seldes (1927-2015), brought her even deeper into the American literary community. Seldes owned and led the venerable agency Russell \u0026 Volkening for 40 years, where his clients included Annie Dillard, Nadine Gordimer, James Lehrer, Peter Taylor, Barbara\nTuchman, Anne Tyler, and Eudora Welty. ","Shreve's son, Porter Shreve is also a novelist and a writing professor, and the two have co-published two anthologies,\nOutside the Law: Narratives on Justice in America (1997) and\nHow We Want to Live: Narratives (1998).","\nAs a very young child, Susan Shreve contracted polio and had a two year stay at Warm Springs, GA., (1950-1952), a hospital established by Franklin D. Roosevelt for polio rehabilitation. Shreve describes her experience in an autobiographical memoir, Warm Springs: Traces Of A Childhood At FDR's Polio Haven. In an earlier work of fiction, The Lovely Shoes (2011), Shreve writes that when she was 11 years old, her mother contacted the Italian fashion designer and shoemaker Salvatore Ferragamo requesting custom made shoes that would allow her daughter to walk and dance and\notherwise participate in life in a normal manner. Ferragamo agreed, and produced custom made shoes for Shreve for years.","Her novel, A Country Of Strangers, about a Black and White family living on the same farm was under option for film, and Daughters Of The New World was an NBC mini series under the title A Will Of Their Own.

As an author of children's books, Shreve has been described as a \"master of subtle and wise perception\" (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books).

","The collection documents her literary and teaching career with manuscripts, typescripts, proofs, journals, correspondence, contracts, clippings, digital files, and other materials related to her authorship and teaching. ","Shreve has published fifteen novels, including a memoir \"Warm Springs: Traces of a Childhood.\" She has also published thirty books for children, and edited and co-edited five anthologies spanning from 1974-2019. Her writing is described as having \"snap and verve\" (New York Times) and marks a significant contribution to the genre. As an author of children's books, Shreve has been described as a \"master of subtle and wise perception\" (Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books). Her writing in general has consistently taken on a broad range of controversial topics, including political ideology (Children of Power, 1979, which tackles McCarthyism and responses to it), terrorism (Plum and Jaggers, 2000); disability (The Lovely Shoes, 2011) and Warm Springs, 2008); perceptions of racial identity (Glimmer, 1997, as \"Annie Waters\"); suicide, old age, and divorce (Family Secrets, 1979); and unwed parenthood (Loveletters, 1978, a book which was suppressed by its own publisher amid a controversy between writers, reviewers, and educators, with a subsequent debate in the press that Loveletters should be banned in schools). Her books are page-turners with rich character descriptions often likened to Charles Dickens, and filled with dramatic events.\n ","The bulk of the collection represents her writings, including notebooks with manuscript drafts of many of her works and typescripts, many with annotations, including original versions of novels and stories with alternate titles and unpublished works  including I Can Touch an Autumn Morning, Wooden And Wicker, In The Center Ring, The Unadoptables, and Geography Of A Marriage.","\nAlso included are book files which are(organized alphabetically by title) and consist of correspondence, clippings, reviews, promotional material, and ephemera such as dustjackets. ","The correspondence includes letters from Shreve's agent, publisher, and editor as well as readers, writers,faculty, other literary agents, journalists, and Washington D.C. residents associated with publishing, writing, and PEN/Faulkner. There are combined personal and professional letters as the author kept these together in her life.  There are notable letters from Nicolas Delbanco,Richard Ford, John Irving, Edward P. Jones, Gordon Lish, Joyce Carol Oates, Tim O'Brien, Nan Talese, and Anne Tyler.","Also of interest is correspondence with Edward P. Jones when he was a student at the University of Virginia and having doubts about his writing career while studying for an education. There is also a draft of an article by Shreve in regard to the work of Amiri Bakara who received a PEN/Faulkner award. Shreve often included African American and LBGT perspectives in her writing. ","The collection includes the business side of literary work as there are more than sixty contracts as well as printed articles and newspaper clippings. The contracts have limited access due to containing personal information.","There are also address books with entries from dozens of writers, editors, publishers, including Saul Bellow, Donald Bartheleme, John Irving, Bernard Malamud, Arthur Miller, Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates, Tim O'Brien, Walker Percy, Eudora Welty, etc. and many others.","The Digital files comprise  911 files.
