Meg Eden Kuyatt

“I had the opportunity to have Ms. Meg host an author visit to share her book, Good Different. During the visit, she opened up to my students about how the main character is based on her own experiences. Many of my students were able to relate, especially those with family members on the autism spectrum. In my second year, I was fortunate to have her return as a resident writer in my classroom. She guided my students on a writing journey beyond anything I could have imagined—teaching them how to create tone, develop themes, and craft vivid, meaningful stories. Ms. Meg is not only an incredible writer but also a gifted educator. Thank you for all that you do!”

“Our students were captivated during Meg’s visit! Her presentation was engaging and inspiring, and the way she shared part of her personal story provided such comfort to some of our students. They enjoyed Good Different and are excited to read her newly released book, The Girl in the Walls. We’d gladly welcome another visit anytime!”

“Meg Eden Kuyatt had a virtual visit with our fifth grade students. Our students have read many books with main characters that have disabilities. It was so inspirational for our readers to get to know an author whose differences helped inspire her books. They were able to make so many connections to books as well as better understand people in their everyday lives. Meg Eden Kuyatt was so insightful in how she described her writing process and connections to her characters. She was thoughtful when responding to our student questions. She helped inspire many of our students to think and write in new and unique ways. We all really enjoyed her two books, Good Different and The Girl in the Walls. We especially love how they were written in prose, but still told a unique story we could all connect to. Thank you for speaking with the fifth grade students!”
