About Meagan Spooner
Meagan Spooner is the New York Times bestselling author of the Skylark trilogy and the Starbound trilogy.
She grew up reading and writing every spare moment of the day, while dreaming about life as an archaeologist, a marine biologist, an astronaut. She graduated from Hamilton College in New York with a degree in playwriting, and has spent several years since then living in Australia. She's traveled with her family all over the world to places like Egypt, South Africa, the Arctic, Greece, Antarctica, and the Galapagos, and there's a bit of every trip in every story she writes.
She currently lives and writes in Asheville, North Carolina, but the siren call of travel is hard to resist, and there's no telling how long she'll stay there.
In her spare time she plays guitar, plays video games, plays with her cat, and reads.

Only she frees both of us. She moves like beauty, she whispers to us of wind and forest—and she tells us stories, such stories that we wake in the night, dreaming dreams of a life long past. She reminds us of what we used to be.
She whispers to us of what we could be.

The Starbound Series by Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
The joy of a little girl whose dreams have been painted the color of the sea. The loyalty of a boy who is ready to defend his home with his bare hands and the force of his will. The love of a man whose faith transcends death, whose strength feels like fire and poetry. The fire of a girl who had everything taken from her, and still found it within herself to leap into the unknown to open this door. The d3 years ago Read more -

“We curse everything, for we are cursed, and we have no arms to shelter her and no lips to press to her hair and above all no words to tell her that we know loss and we know pain and if they were monsters we could fight we would have slain them in her name long ago like the heroes of old. But we are not a hero. We are cursed.”

Blog postbookwormreads:
Hunted is so perfect from the dedication at the beginning to the note from the author at the end. It’s a book that speaks to me in every way. I am the girl who reads by flashlight, who sees dragons in the clouds, who dreams of other worlds. I am Yeva, searching, “want(ing) not so much a thing as everything, something beyond naming, something more than”. I am the girl who grew up reading fairy tales and still yearns to see the magic in the world.

So happy to finally be able to share this! It’s some early concept art of Aloy, the lead character of Horizon: Zero Dawn. I worked on this character together with the rest of the character team for a few months in 2013. It was a huge honor working with Guerrilla Games and their inspiring, talented team. I loved working on this character! These images can be seen in this neat featurette about Aloy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw5Jnh… as well as in the artbook that comes with the col3 years ago Read more -

Blog postI’m SO sorry your mail was returned! I’m currently in a bit of a… disagreement? (To be polite?) with my local post office, one of the joys of living in a small-ish town. I’m hoping to get my P.O. box back up and running soon (I’ll be sure to announce it via social media) and respond to the mail I do have waiting for responses, and update the site to reflect it, and… okay, too much adulting, I have to go hide under the covers now. o_o

Blog postThis is a tough question because no two writers follow the same path to publication or to full-time writer-dom. And there are so many sub-categories to this answer, so I’m just going to give the broad strokes here. Feel free to follow up with specifics if I don’t address your question! Warning: this is also really long. I apologize in advance. But it’s a BIG question. More under the cut, to spare people just scrolling past from getting a huge block of text.

Indiebound | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Book Depository
Today was the release of the final book in my Skylark trilogy, Lark Ascending. Any book launch is a hugely emotional thing—years of work boiling down into one single day, when you send this thing you’ve created out out of your blood and your tears into the world to sink or swim on its own. But releasing the end to a trilogy is even weightier5 years ago Read more -

Blog postA Reluctant Star, Sia Deals With Fame On Her Own Terms:
Sia says a lot of pop songs follow certain formulas, contain certain universal themes. There’s “victim to victory.”
“The ‘victim to victory’ theory,” she says, “is that, if you listen to the radio, a large percentage of the hits are … about victim to victory, like ‘I’m having a terrible time.’ And then the pre-chrous is ‘I don’t know what’s gonna happen next.’ And the chorus is, ‘Now I’m brilliant, and everything is great5 years ago Read more -
