About Meghan O’Rourke -
Meghan O’Rourke is a New York Times bestselling author, poet, editor, and podcaster. Her work often tackles challenging subjects such as chronic illness and grief, which can be difficult to write and speak about, of course, but also to experience firsthand.   Today, she lives with the ongoing effects of long-untreated tick-borne illness, hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and autoimmune thyroiditis. She is the recipient of numerous literary awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Radcliffe Fellowship, a Lannan Literary Fellowship, and the Union League Prize for Poetry from the Poetry Foundation. The Invisible Kingdom is about her experiences with chronic illness and are written in hopes of illuminating the lived experiences of loss and sickness so that others will feel less alone, and someday change may come.

Restrictions: Zoom is only 15 minutes long and will take place when Meghan is available in June, 2024.  Note that the zoom must take place during the month of June, 2024.  Date and time to be scheduled according to winner and Meghan’s schedules.
