- Marjorie Kellogg was born in Santa Barbara, California.
She dropped out of the University of California, Berkeley before going to San Francisco to pursue a writing career. She worked at the San Francisco Examiner as a copy editor and then got a job with Salute Magazine. For Salute, a magazine for the military, she went to France and Spain to write about the aftermath of World War II. When she returned to the USA, she went to Smith College and earned a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in social work.
She moved to New York City, where she worked in various agencies as a social worker, experiences she later credited as inspiration for many of the characters in her books, plays, and films.
In 1968, she published her first novel, Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon, which became a bestseller and is still her most famous work. Two years later, she wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation. Her second novel was Like the Lion's Tooth (1972). She also wrote plays, a musical, and other screenplays, including an adaptation of The Bell Jar (1979).
