      Career


      McCormick graduated from Rosemont College in 1974–1978. McCormick earned an MS from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1985–1986 and an MFA from the New School in 1999. She currently lives in New York City. McCormick is a frequent contributor to several magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, Ladies Home Journal, Town & Country, and Reader's Digest.
      Her books rely heavily on research and interviews.

For her book Never Fall Down, she spent a month in Cambodia with a survivor of the Khmer Rouge Genocide.
      She has worked with Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for standing up for her right to an education. The book, I Am Malala : How One Girl Stood Up for Education and Changed the World, was published in 2013.
