Background
Megan Fairbrother is a multi-genre author who specialises in novels surrounding diversity and inclusivity.

Her neurodiversity novels, The Barriers series, are deeply connected to her heart as she has two close family members who are both autistic.

Accolades: Her debut novel Breaking the Barriers was a Golden Wizard Book Prize Winner 2026. Her story Heir to the Embers was longlisted for Pro Writing Aid's Novel Beginning's competition, placing in the top 183, out of 14,570 submissions.
How She Came To Be a Writer
I always wanted to be a writer and have a degree in English Literature and Language but it was my daughter's diagnosis with autism that inspired my debut trilogy as I didn't believe their was enough diverse representation in literature.
