Meg Cabot: 15 million copies & countingBestselling young-adult author Meg Cabot learned to be comfortable writing funny, and to persevere while enduring endless rejections
Published:
April 2, 2010 The name Meg Cabot has become synonymous with popular fiction for
teenage girls. Her Princess Diaries series is published in more than 38
countries, she’s the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of
nearly 50 chick-lit books for teens, juveniles and adults, and those
books have sold more than 15 million copies worldwide. She has been so
successful in large part because she writes characters her readers can
relate to. Whether it’s a juvenile story about the drama that takes
place between friends or a young-adult novel about the trials and
tribulations of young love, Cabot knows her audience. And she knows
what they find funny.
