Lori Z. Scott has taught elementary school for over 20 years, but she’s best known for her bestselling Meghan Rose series. Besides these children’s chapter books, Lori has published over 175 articles, short stories, poems and book contributions, including Writing and Selling Children’s Books in the Christian Market. Her quirky habits of chronic doodling and telling lame jokes help spark her imagination and, thus far, have not driven off any of her friends. Look for her new YA novel, Inside the Ten-foot Line, the first book in a sports series geared for Christian athletes releasing September 2022.
