The Life and Work of Author Meags Fitzgerald
And how her life inspired two incredible books
My new podcast, The Lives of Writers, is available to subscribers on my Patreon page. You can hear the first episode, Meags Fitzgerald, for free here.
Meags Fitzgerald is an author with whom I fell madly in love after I heard about her book Photobooth. Fitzgerald fell in love with the old machines and decided to make a hard left in her career path to work more closely with the dying technology. She identifies as queer, (same), has an obsession with red hair, (definitely), and loves any piece of pop culture that dabbles in magic (yes!)
In 2015, Fitzgerald wrote the graphic novel Photobooth which won that year’s Doug Wright Spotlight Award, was nominated for another award that year, and got an honorable mention from the Expozine Awards in the category Best Book. Her second work, Long Red Hair, came out in 2017 and was named “One of the ten best books to read during Pride,” and consistently gets five-star reviews on Amazon.
Despite the shortlist of works, Meags Fitzgerald grabbed the attention of tons of readers and critics. In both works, she opened up about her history, struggles to read, her sexual odyssey that took a bizarre twist, and why she loves the sum of her parts.
