Author Talk with Meg Mitchell Moore

Meg Mitchell Moore began writing as soon as she figured out how the cursive 'T' and 'F' were different and hasn’t stopped since. She worked for many years as a copyeditor, editor, and writer for a variety of nonfiction publications before turning to fiction, publishing her first novel in 2011. She has since published eight more novels, all but one set in New England. (The Admissions is set in Northern California., where her family moved for exactly one year before returning to the east coast.) Among her novels are national bestsellers, Indie Next picks, and a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers pick. She lives in the beautiful coastal town of Newburyport, Massachusetts (home of the amazing Newburyport Literary Festival, for which she is a member of the steering committee). Her new novel, Down with the Shipmans, which is set on the New Hampshire seacoast, will be out June 2, 2026.
