Okay, all you aspiring young authors out there: You complained that the AvonFanLit contest is only for adults (and US residents) over the age of 18. Well, now HarperCollins US has come up with a fiction contest for you under-18-year-olds as well—and I'm one of the judges! Click here for details!

Baby Daddy Drama
Every morning right before I wake up I have the same dream: I am in high school. But I am 39 and a half years old. And married. And live in Florida. But people are telling me I have to choose a college. I have to choose one RIGHT NOW. And I keep saying, “But […]
NOT Written from Chateau Marmont
I'm writing this from sunny Los Angeles! Everything really is better when you're sitting on a sun-drenched balcony with the Hollywood sign in the background, it turns out. For instance, I hardly even remember anymore that it has been TWENTY DAYS since I last my husband or cats, and that I have FIVE MORE TO […]
Lindsay Strikes Back
Dear Miss Cabot, I understand that recently in your blog you linked to several stories that have appeared online lately about me forgetting to put on underwear. I am surprised you would feel compelled to comment upon this, considering the fact that you are such close personal friends with Paris Hilton. Surely you'll have noticed […]
I’m Stylish
What the heck, people??? Everyone but me is turning out to be a princess! This one seems EXTRA princessy. If you have any spare cash, send it her way—she's rebuilding a school that was destroyed in the village over which she will one day rule! Meanwhile, check this out: It's me and my new boyfriend […]
My NEW New Boyfriend
Here's a picture of my new boyfriend: Yes, I have given up on Warren Buffett. I'm sorry, Warren, but I have a found new love with whom even you, with all your philanthropy, cannot compete. Yes, my new love is Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle (not to be confused with Josh Strickland—but TARZAN, AS PLAYED […]
Lindsay, Put On Some Pants!
Oh, Lindsay. But before we get to Lindsay, check out who I met when I was on the show “10!” in Philadelphia yesterday: Sandi Thom. She was very cool (even if her bandmates did eat all the chocolate doughnuts in the green room). I got her CD. It's fab. (Thanks to Michele Jaffe for enlightening […]
Makeout Guy = Major Disappointment…AGAIN!
Makeout Guy never emailed me. Was it wrong of me to think he might read my blog? I'm not saying that I think that ALL my exes do. But I was kind of hoping he might have seen the thing I posted about our ill-fated romance and send an email saying he was sorry about […]
Why I Write Funny Books
When I was in college…. …I took this creative writing workshop through my dorm, the excellent Collins Living Learning Center. To live in Collins—which is the most beautiful (and progressive) dorm on the Indiana University campus (and possibly anywhere), and always reminded me of Harper Hall, where Menolly goes to school in the Dragonsinger books […]

WHEN AUTHORS LOSE THEIR MINDS
Let's face it. Sometimes authors go insane. I'm not feeling particularly sane at the moment because I just finished writing a book and it was super intense and I didn't go out for like three weeks straight and now I feel like one of those mole people I made up when this producer at ALL […]
Avalon High Sequel
AVALON HIGH SEQUEL INFO AT LAST! I know some of you have been waiting for this. Well, here it is: I swear it's better than Christmas when you open up your Inbox and find something like that inside. I love this cover so much. In fact, yeah, I DO want to marry it. It's looking […]
Rumor Control
Every once in a while here at the blog, we have to do a little rumor control…. So here, once again, is the honest truth about some of the rumors that have been floating around about me and my books (at least judging from all the emails I have been getting): Rumor #1) I live […]
Oops
This past weekend…. He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog overheard me on the phone with a reporter who was interviewing me about HOW TO BE POPULAR. After I'd hung up, the following conversation ensued*: (*It should be noted that, by mutual agreement, I do not read HWSNBNITB's poetry, and he does not […]
Book Mystery Solved
The results are in…. And the prize of an autographed copy of an advanced reader copy of PRINCESS ON THE BRINK (she promised not to post spoilers) goes to Corinna of Austin, TX, who correctly named the author and title of the mystery book. Which is: THE SABLE MOON by the fantastically talented fantasy author […]
Contest! Contest! Contest!
It's here! Your big chance at publishing stardom! Also, your big chance at winning a free autographed book of your choice from me! In one of the many magazines I have read recently (I retain what's in them but not which magazine I got the information from, sorry), they did a poll to find out […]

After much debate, the new title and cover for the sequel to SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT is… Personally, I like it. Hope you do, too. More later. Much love, Meg
THE WAR ON PERVS/DUD ALERT
Oh, my goodness! I got so much mail over my Look-out-for-Pervs blog! Many of you seem to be wondering how I know so much about pervs. Well, those of you who read Michele Jaffe's brilliant BAD KITTY know about her theory that all of us are born with one (or more) superpower. It may not […]
IMPORTANT BACK-TO-SCHOOL MESSAGE
Today's the first day back to school for many U.S. kids, so I thought I'd post an important message for all you guys and gals out there who are heading off to college for the first time. My message is: BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR PERVS!!! I know you're laughing right now, and that's […]
Meg’s Media Round Up
It's that time again: Time for me to give you my reviews of all the TV shows and movies I've seen lately, in my continuing effort to help you make informed choice with your hard-earned entertainment dollars (and time).

My Week of Celebrity Stalkings—I mean, Sightings
It's been a whirlwind week of interaction with celebrities for me while I've been out on the road promoting HOW TO BE POPULAR.

RWA to NYC to JKR
So I spent the latter half of last week in Atlanta, Georgia, attending the twenty-sixth Romance Writers of America conference. A lot of people, when I mention that I have been a member of this organization since 1998, ask, “Why? You're not a romance writer.” Au contraire, mon frere! I am and have always been […]
SUNDAY CHAT
CHAT ON SUNDAY…. Don't forget to come to my online chat tomorrow, Sunday, July 30, at 2PM EST right here at the Meg Cabot Book Club. All are welcome (just don't go into the light.

Three more days until HOW TO BE POPULAR is on sale in the US! And the first review (from Kirkus) is in! Armed with a plan, Steph Landry starts junior year determined to shake her place as the butt of her town's saying, “Don't pull a Steph Landry.” The saying, coined by her stereotypically popular […]
Spinning Beach Ball of Death
I always know summer is truly here when the Spinning Beach Ball of Death puts in an appearance. In case you don't know, the Spinning Beach Ball of Death is not a pool toy. It is an icon Mac users recognize as the universal symbol for Your Computer Now Hates You. For some reason, my […]
HOW TO BE POPULAR sneak peek
It's here! The HOW TO BE POPULAR sneak peek!!! HOW TO BE POPULAR is about a girl named Steph Landry, who–due to an unfortunate incident involving a Big Red Super Big Gulp and the white denim skirt of the most popular girl in town, Lauren Moffatt–has been a social outcast for most of her teen […]
CARTOONS BY MEG
So before I became a published author, I was an aspiring freelance illustrator. And what I really, really, really wanted to do with my illustrations was have them be made into…greeting cards! Yes. It was my dream to work at Hallmark. Sadly, Hallmark never offered to buy my cards. In fact, no greeting card company […]
Book Vs. Movie
And the results are in…. It was a landslide victory for…drumroll…Legs in Trash! Rest assured, I forwarded the results to my editor. I can't promise that's the cover that will end up being used…but it's looking good so far! Many thanks to everyone who wrote in. So…. It appears that a great many of you […]
NEW BOOK/NEW COVERS/NEW EVENTS
Guess what? I have a new book out, and I didn't even know it. Well, it's not a new BOOK, exactly, but it's a new short story in a collection written exclusively to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. SHINING ON: A Collection of Short Stories in Aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. Featuring some […]
Don’t Even
I know you have come here looking for emotional and spiritual succor after the horrifying news. But, people, I don't know any more than you do. I've called my contacts in Hollywood, demanding to know what is going on with Kathy Griffin and her now ex-husband Matt. But all they will say is, “WHY ARE […]
So Many Crushes, So Little Time
Oh, great. So according to the Sunday New York Times, the children of Warren E. Buffett, the celebrated investor and my current crush, are already at work trying to figure out how to manage a gift from their father valued at about $1 billion each that will go to their own charitable foundations. OK, so […]
ANSWERS!
People have been emailing me with tons of questions about the new books (and demanding that I write Harry Potter's Honeymoon at Hotel Erotica Cabo). Here are some answers: Why are there two different covers for How To Be Popular? There aren't. There is one cover…and a silver foil slip cover. You'll see when the […]

LETTER TO JK ROWLING
Dear Ms. Rowling, Hi! So, I've never actually met you, but I just read what you said about how you might have to kill off your main character in the final book of your HARRY POTTER series. I just want you to know I TOTALLY get what you're saying, and I couldn't agree more. I […]

GOOGLE EYED
This past week has turned out to be very traumatic on the feline front. I stumbled downstairs one morning, bleary-eyed and looking for tea, when I noticed that one of Gem's pupils was way bigger than the other. The following conversation occurred in our kitchen: Me: How come one of Gem's pupils is way bigger […]
Hotel Erotica Cabo
Okay, so I was flipping around the channels last night, and I came across a show called Hotel Erotica Cabo. This show was on Cinemax (or Skin-emax, as I like to call it). Anyway, in the bit I saw, the lead actress, who was playing an author, explains that she had been sent to Hotel […]
Dead Dad Club
Father's Day is always bittersweet for members of the Dead Dad Club. The Dead Dad Club was formed after my friend lost his dad suddenly. And then my dad died kind of suddenly, too (well, suddenly to me), and when my friend found out, he said, “Welcome to the Dead Dad Club. Now I'm not […]
JUST SAY YES
To celebrate my homecoming, as well as Adopt-A-Shelter-Cat Month, I gave Henrietta a little catnip. She seemed to like it. A lot, actually. Maybe a little more than she should have. In fact, she seemed kind of upset when there wasn't any more. And she let me know just HOW upset, by attacking my camera! […]
Author Guide To Surviving a Booktour, Tip #5

Author Guide to Surviving a Booktour, #4
People keep telling me that I do not follow my own book tour advice…. …and that at the DC book festival, I was seen walking up and down the line to my signing asking attendees if they belong to my book club. People, I am sorry to disappoint you, but that was not me. Yes, […]
Author Guide To Surviving a Booktour, Tip #3
SIGNING IN DALLAS IS POSTPONED! I keep getting emails from people about my Dallas signing tonight. Except that there is no signing in Dallas scheduled for tonight.

Author Guide To Surviving a Booktour, Tip #2
I blew it. I totally forgot to mention when I was at the Borders in Ann Arbor that the heroine of the book I AM TOURING FOR is FROM Ann Arbor. What was I thinking? I mean, a whole chapter of QUEEN OF BABBLE is actually set IN ANN ARBOR. And I was IN ANN […]
Author Guide To Surviving a Booktour, Tip #1
Do you realize that out of all of the thousands of books in the bookstores I have visited over the past couple weeks, not ONE of them was a guide about how to survive a book tour? I know! It's a travesty! Here the publishers are, sending hapless authors out on book tours, and we […]
GOOD IN BED
Wow, my signing at Harry S. Schwartz in Milwaukee was so fun! And not just because so many readers brought gifts and mementos for me.Although many thanks to Kelley, Megan, Liza, Sherry, Natalie and Katherine for the TaB! And to Monica for the Ultimate Mix! And to Nora for her autograph! And to Sammy for […]
Real Life Princess Diaries
Seriously, though. Why, when I make things up and they turn out to come true (it happens more often than you would think), do they never happen to ME, but to other people? It's not fair. If you would like to hear me complain about this, and other things that have been annoying me—such as […]

HOLIDAY WEEKEND OFF!
It's MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND! And I'm on my way home from the first leg of my tour. I spent May 18-21 at Book Expo America, and then May 22-26 on tour. I'll get back on the road on Tuesday, May 30, and be away until June 10. That's a long time to be away from […]
Posting from the QUEEN OF BABBLE tour
I am writing this from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, Gate F-14. Remember that scene in 24 when Chole was in the hotel bar trying to upload the data to Jack's PDA, and that dude kept bugging her, and she finally had to hit him with her stun gun? Yeah. I really wish I had […]
RETRACTION
Oops. So the 12:30pm Borders signing is Wednesday, not Tuesday. Like all of you, I was just going by what it said on my website. Which had a typo. Sorry about that. Sorry too to fans of Talbots. I just went by one, and they had some totally cute stuff in the windows. Dr. Jaffe […]
AUTHOR SAVES PROM
Book Expo America turned out to be quite an adventure…and not in the ways I would have expected. Not only did I sign about a billion copies of my newest book, QUEEN OF BABBLE (due in US stores TOMORROW!!!), but I got to meet tons of groovy authors, one of whom gets a special Meg […]

Quitters DO Win
Everyone wants to know…. …whatever happened to Carol (see: entry before this one entitled TRUE STORY). Carol's story really seemed to strike a chord with readers. I'm glad so many of you appreciated the Carol story, including my own mother, who prank called me after reading it, pretending to be Carol (but it didn't work […]
TRUE STORY
Okay, so when I was in middle school I was friends with this girl. Let's call her Carol (hint: Carol is not her real name). Carol was one of those people who dreamed constantly of getting “discovered,” and being “famous.” You know the kind of person I mean—someone who is convinced that she is a […]
Oops…I Did It Again
Hey, ya'll! It's me, Brit. Meg asked me to guest blog today on account of her being otherwise occupied with some stuff you might have noticed that's been in the news lately, but that she's not at liberty to discuss at this time. But that's okay, because there's something I've been really hoping I'd get […]
GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS
There's good news and bad news: The bad news is they picked Rosie O'Donnell, and not me, as Meredith Viera's replacement on THE VIEW. I know. You would think after a moving letter like mine, they'd have been banging down my door to get me to come co-host their show. But I guess it was […]
Awesome Spring Reads
So many books, so little time…. First of all, for anyone who has mistakenly come here looking for a re-cap of last night's episode of 24, go to Dave Barry's blog instead. He can explain it WAY better than I can (and I agree with him about Audrey). Speaking of authors who live in Florida—ROCK […]

24
I have a confession to make: Well, okay, yes, I did burst out laughing when I heard Brooke Shields had her baby at the same time as TomKat (and I sure hope Tom sent Brooke a nice conflict-free diamond tennis bracelet or something to make up for being such a jerk to her). But I […]
LETTER TO THE VIEW
To Whom It May Concern: Hello to the ladies at The View! I hear you are looking for a replacement for Meredith Viera, since she is leaving to replace Katie Couric, who is leaving the Today Show to read the CBS Evening News and be on Sixty Minutes (which is ironic, since I remember when […]

NUTmeg
This past week has been totally insane. Okay, first off, it's always kind of crazy when you have a new book come out, even if you aren't going on tour for it. Because if you aren't going on tour, that means you are home, and are free to look up your book's ranking at the […]

MONDAYS
I am going to admit something totally embarrassing now: I love Mondays. I know that is hugely geeky and all, but I don't care. I'm tired of living a lie. I'm tired of replying, “Why, Friday, of course,” when people ask, “What's your favorite day of the week?” I am not an idiot. I know […]

FAN FICTION`
Fan fiction. Good or evil? You decide! So….I get asked about fan fiction a LOT. Fan fiction, for those of you who don't know, is fiction written by people (other than the original author) who enjoy a film, book, television show, or other media work, using the characters and situations developed in that work, and […]

Reader Good News
ACK! I am crazed at the moment with revisions for Princess Diaries 8 (now officially titled PRINCESS ON THE BRINK); proof pages for HOW TO BE POPULAR (proof pages are the actual book pages the publisher sends you to check over for mistakes before they go to press); various other author-ly chores, like recording a […]
GOOD NEWS
The good news is…. So I made the mistake of watching the news the other night. Could there BE more bad news? I don't think so. So I have decided to write my own news. The difference between my news and the rest of the news is that my news is only good news. Yes. […]
BABY CHICK RESCUE
BABY CHICK RESCUE!!! So the other day I was walking home from Waterfront Market, where I went to buy sugar free hot cocoa mix (because it got COLD here for a few days last week), and suddenly, in front of the Key West Library, I heard: “CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!!!!” I am used to hearing […]

AMERICAN IDOL SCAM!!!!
* I've been telling you all for weeks that AMERICAN IDOL is guilty of something. Well, now, I have definitive proof. But before we get to that, the latest news: I was almost lifted from the suck zone by last night's Extreme Home Makeover. How could I feel badly for myself when that poor single […]
….BABY ONE MORE TIME
Hey, ya'll, it's me, Brit. Meg is still trapped in the Suck Zone so she asked me to guest blog for her for the day. I said I'd be happy to because the truth is, I'm kinda in the Suck Zone too right now. Ya'll might have heard about me and those paparazzi photos of […]
The Suck Zone
Remember in the disaster flick TWISTER when that guy, Dusty, describes the suck zone to Jami Gertz? Well, you are now entering it. Welcome to the Suck Zone. I'm just kidding. Things don't really suck THAT much. Well, sort of. But not like F5 on the Fujita scale. Maybe more like F2. Don't get me […]

CATCHING UP
Good Lord, so much has been happening, I don't know how we'll ever catch up. I guess we should just start at the beginning: First off, a moment of silence please for Chris Penn, of FOOTLOOSE fame. As you know, he died. He was brothers with Sean and Michael Penn. Michael is married to Aimee […]
