Meg Leader

Meg Leader has been professionally published for more than 30 years in both fiction and nonfiction, under a variety of pen names and in various genres. Her publishers include Oxford University Press, MIT Press, Bantam Books, Belle Books, and Silhouette, among others. She also has judged writing contests such as the Rita, the Emily, and many others for the past 20 years and has privately mentored other writers to help them produce their best work. She's a popular speaker and has addressed audiences all over the US and internationally. With that experience, she fully understands the issues writers face across their careers.
In 2022, she started developing a writing book series, "Page-Turner Fiction," designed to help clarify how to write stories that readers simply can't stop reading. One of the most popular of those books is The Comprehensive Guide to World Building: Everything You Need to Know for ALL Genres! Her talk at the Carrollton BookFest will focus on why all stories need a story world no matter what genre you are writing, and how to use that story world to enhance your characters, your plot, your story structure, and even the theme of your novel.
