About this author

Nationally bestselling author of THE FOUR MS. BRADWELLS, THE WEDNESDAY SISTERS, and THE LANGUAGE OF LIGHT, which was a finalist for the Bellwether Prize. Stories and essays in Runner’s World, Writer’s Digest, the Huffington Post, and elsewhere, and on public radio. Meg loves to read, and to chat with book groups. If you'd like her to join your group for a book group chat or other event, you can contact her directly here.

For want of any better prayer to the lit gods to take care of her now, I offer them and you a rerun of the post she and Sam did for me a couple years ago. Her wonderful, funny, optimistic spirit shines through in her words. – Meg

Jo Meg, we missed you over at The Wednesday Sister's Tea and Talk and hope that everything is alright. I hope we're able to clear up some of the confusion on our end in time for next week's chat (and so that we can continue at other times). Holli and I have been looking forward to it!
