Meg McDermott

Meg McDermott is an Australian YA author who writes about fierce girls, young love and the beautiful, brutal business of growing up. Meg’s debut novel, The Big Things, is out in April 2027 with MidnightSun Publishing. In September 2026, she presented a YA writing workshop and appeared on a panel at Melbourne’s Emerging Writers’ Festival. Her second YA novel is currently in development. Meg holds a Bachelor of International Communication/Laws and works as a legal editor. She lives on the NSW Central Coast with her three cute kids, a Spoodle and the surfer dude she met in a car park when she was seventeen. Still a teenager at heart, Meg maintains that if she wasn’t able to continue writing about those formative years, she might die of nostalgia.
