Meg Jerit (she/her) is an author, writer, and poet, specializing in Creative Nonfiction. Her most recent children’s book, “The Moonies: Journey to the Total Solar Eclipse” was written to educate youth on eclipses. The celestial characters are based on Meg’s real-life experiences, and missing the 2017 Total Solar Eclipse due to “cloud interference.” Jerit has an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from Columbia College Chicago, and attended the Kenyon Review Summer Workshop in 2022. Jerit’s goal is to share her voice and writing with others to facilitate healing dialogues and explore the meanings of love and creativity. When not writing, reading, or teaching, Jerit is imagining a better future for her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, and/or exploring Austin with her partner and our two shepherds.
