ⓘ About Meg Shaffer

Shaffer’s life changed when she read Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time” when she was in the 5th grade. As a fifth grader, the work captured her imagination like nothing she had ever read before. Meg can now be found either at home or online writing Star Trek fan fiction and watching Alfred Hitchcock films when she should be doing her homework. At last, she chanced upon the idea of making Charlie into a young teacher and Willy Wonka into a children’s fiction author. During that time, she read “The Anatomy of Story” by John Truby and was convinced that her story lacked a few critical components. Like many authors, Meg Shaffer has many inspirations ranging from books to film and TV shows.
