The Author

© Megan Diedericks, 2025

Megan Diedericks is a biromantic ace from South Africa. Her first language is Afrikaans, but she primarily writes in English. Writing has been a passion since she wrote her first poem at around twelve years old, and that hasn't changed now that she's in her twentysomethings!

Her work has been published over sixty times in various journals and presses, both online and in print.

Megan writes poetry and fiction, everything from meek to macabre can be found in between the lines. Her poetry explores themes of mental health and self-reflection, and when they're not personal—her poems are speculative in nature. The main genres she writes fiction in are Horror, Fantasy, and something akin to Science Fiction. She loves everything fantastical and fanged!

She is Rhysling-nominated, and the author of two books: The Coffin Chronicles and the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts.

When she is not writing, she acts as the social chronicler of minor disturbances (and occasional reader) for foofaraw press, and as the proofreader for The Samhain Moon Literature Magazine! Otherwise, you will most likely find her crying over fictional characters, taking photos and videos of whatever catches her eye, or listening to music. Megan also enjoys arts and craftseven if her projects come out a little wonky!
