Meg Auchenbach, Children’s Author & Illustrator

Meg Auchenbach has been writing and illustrating books since she was a little girl, and has always dreamed of becoming a children's book author and illustrator. During this time, Meg was also known for eating crayons and coloring on things that she wasn't supposed to (like the family dog) with markers.

​When she is not creating, Meg loves hanging out with animals, cooking, reading and poking around antique shops and flea markets. Meg lives in Eastern PA with her husband, two young children, a deaf pitbull, and one very shy cat.

Meg’s author/illustrator debut, IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST (Peter Pauper Press, 2024) is inspired by her former career as an elementary art teacher, where she watched children daydream, experiment, and create. Meg’s hope is to create stories that inspire magical thoughts and cultivate a sense of wonder.
