She mainly writes literary and television dramas for children and young adults. She used science fiction to explore social and ethical issues. Her critically and popularly acclaimed Noughts and Crosses series uses a fictional dystopia setting to explore racism. Her book New Windmills Spring was sold out within a week of its publication. Blackman's early life was born in Clapham, London. Her parents were both from Barbados. At school, she wanted to become an English teacher, but instead grew up to become a system programmer. She received HNC from Thames Polytechnic University and is a graduate of the National School of Film and Television. She married Neil Morrison in 1992 and their daughter was born in 1995. The author blackman sold her book New Windmills Spring within a week of its publication. Since then, she has written more than 60 children's books, including novels and short stories, as well as television scripts and stage performances. She had 15 awards. Blackman's TV scripts include episodes of the long-running children's drama Byker Grove, as well as television adaptations of her novels Uizzivig and The Pig Boy. She became the first person of color to work on Doctor Who (something almost performed by Robin Mukherjee 29 years ago, during the launch of the original series with the unmade Alixion). Her books have been translated into more than 15 languages, including Spanish, Welsh, German, Japanese, Chinese and French. Blackman's award-winning Noughts and Crosses series, exploring love, racism and violence, is set in a fictional dystopia. Explaining his choice of title, in a 2007 interview for the BBC's Blast website, Blackman said that zero and crosses is one of those games that no one ever plays after childhood because no one ever wins. In an interview with The Times, Blackman said that before writing Noughts and Crosses, the ethnicities of her main characters were never central to the plots of her books. She also said, I wanted to show black kids that they just continue their lives, their adventures and their dilemmas, like the characters in all the books I read as a child. Blackman eventually decided to address racism directly. She reused some details from her own experience, including a case where she needed plaster and discovered that they were designed to be invisible only on the skin People. The Times interviewer Amanda Craig Craig about the delay for the zero and Crosses series to be published in the United States: While there was considerable interest, 9/11 killed the possibility of publishing any book describing what might drive someone to become a terrorist. The zero and crosses are now available in the United States under the name Black and White (Simon s Schuster Publishers, 2005). Noughts and Crosses was No 61 on the Big Read list, a 2003 BBC survey to find the nation's best favourite book, with more voices than the tale of two cities, several novels by Terry Pratchett and Lord of the Flies. She was appointed An Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2008 to mark her birthday. In June 2013, Blackman was announced as the new children's laureate, succeeding Julia Donaldson. Malorie Blackman lives with her husband Neil and daughter Elizabeth in Kent, England. In her spare time she enjoys playing the piano, composing, playing computer games and writing poetry. She is the subject of a biography for the children of Verna Wilkins. In March 2014, Blackman joined other well-known authors in supporting the Let Books Be Books campaign, which aims to prevent children's books from being called for girls or boys. In August 2014, Malorie Blackman was one of 200 public figures who signed a letter to The Guardian against Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on the issue.
