A Bit About Me

Hey! Hi! Hello there!

I’m Maisie Meyers. I write YA fantasy that fuses humor, fairytale monsters, and authentic chronic illness rep.​​ Because feeling like you're getting rotisserie chicken roasted from the inside out every day doesn't mean you can't have your fairytale too.

If you like flawed, unapologetically real protagonists, morally complex choices, and unique takes on classic tropes like monstrous creatures, betrayal, and deals with the devil (but make him fae). AND if you want books where chronically ill and disabled characters are heroes—and main characters, and love interests, and everything else in between, you’re in the right place.

Like all my main characters, I live with chronic health issues, including:

• POTS (Standing up fast? Overrated.)

• MCAS (My body treats food and air like enemies.)

• hEDS (My joints function more like a suggestion than a rule and they do NOT like to stay in their assigned seats.)

• Chronic pain (Because slippy joints aren’t just annoying. They have the AUDACITY to hurt too.🙄)

• And more! 😭

I have an M.A. in English with a focus on fairytales and folktales, which basically means I spent grad school annoying–ahem, I mean convincing my professors that every book secretly connects to fairytales. (Spoiler: They do.)

When I’m not writing about characters facing terrible (but interesting) choices, I work as a technical writer, battle the Florida heat like a reluctant cryptid, and wonder why there aren’t more disabled and chronically ill characters in fantasy. Let’s fix that, yeah?

👀Check out A Little Less Invisible here, my YA contemporary fantasy about a chronically ill girl being hunted by fae who eat pain (and the secretive but annoyingly cute boy she needs to help her stop herself from becoming a meal). Out soon!

It’s like watching a fae bargain go down in real time—messy, unpredictable, and “dear lord I hope this goes better than the fairy pact my main character in A Little Less Invisible makes. 😭😅😬”
