Megan Diedericks' comfort lies in writing, and creating universes that stretch as far as the eye can see. 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!
As a biromantic ace, she's proudly part of the LGBTQIA+ community. She's from South Africa, and her first language is Afrikaans, but she primarily writes in English.
Megan writes Poetry and Fiction. Everything from meek to macabre can be found in between the lines.
The main genres she writes in are Horror, Fantasy and something akin to Science Fiction. She loves everything fantastical and fanged!
She self-published her debut poetry collection: the darkest of times, the darkest of thoughts in January of 2022, and she's a 2025 Rhysling Award Nominee!
Megan's work has been published in over 30 journals and presses, both online and in print. For more information, visit the Publications-section.
When she is not writing, you will most likely find her crying over fictional characters, or taking photos and videos of whatever catches her eye.
Megan also enjoys crafting and doodling—even if her projects come out a little wonky! You can see more of that on her personal Instagram account: @vampiredusk.
P.S. She thinks that charm on her necklace adds a permanent gothic/vampiric-vibe to her everyday life!
