My First Book Story

Welcome to My First Book Story, interviews with authors about their journeys to their first published book. Each story is different, but they all end, happily ever after, with a book in the hands of a reader.

I’m Meredith Davis, author of THE MINOR MIRACLE and THE MINOR RESCUE (Waterbrook/PRH) and co-author of HER OWN TWO FEET (Scholastic). I once worked at an independent children’s bookstore, started the Austin Chapter of SCBWI, and earned an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults at VCFA. I've heard hundreds of incredible stories, and I love sharing them with you.
