Lilian C. Garis (born Lilian C. McNamara) was an American author who wrote hundreds of novels of juvenile fiction between 1915 and the early 1940s. Previously, she was the first female reporter for the Newark Evening News in New Jersey. Garis and her husband, Howard R. Garis, were arguably the most prolific children's authors of the early twentieth century. Lilian McNamara was born in 1872 in Cleveland, Ohio. Her parents, Edward and Winifred, were Irish immigrants. As a teenager, Lillian authored her own "Woman's Page" for a local newspaper. She attended private schools, including the Dunkirk Union School. In 1893, her poem "Peace" was included in the New Jersey Scrapbook of Women Writers for the World's Columbian Exposition. From 1895 to 1900, Lilian was in charge of "Woman's Work" at the Newark Evening News and was referred to as "Miss Mack" or "Lilian Mack." Lillian was also a suffragette. Lilian Garis is one of the writers who has always written. She expressed herself in verse since her early school days, and it was expected that Lilian Mack would one day become a writer. Justifying this sentiment, while still in high school, she took over the woman's page for a city paper, and her work there received such positive feedback that she quit school to take over the full woman's section for the main daily in an important Eastern city.
