I have three projects spinning. The first is a short story for Tyranny of Petticoats, volume 2, from Candlewick. It's edited by Jessica Spotswood and features stories of strong girls in all different periods of history. I love writing short fiction, so it feels like a pleasure to work on that. More long term, I have two books on contract with Candlewick. The first is a middle grade novel about a girl navigating that awful time when we move from being girls of the playground to middle school girls. I haven't written a middle grade novel since my first book, so it's a way to stretch myself again. I think it will be out in 2018, if all goes well.

Hi Meg: I met you at the SCBWI summer conference in Los Angeles. It feels so long ago. What you said about how you did all sorts of jobs because you never thought you could make a living as a writer hit home for me. Me too! I have been a writer my entire life but not really "made a living as a published author" - might you share how you "did it" and suggest steps? Thanks.
