Megan Nicol Reed

Megan Nicol Reed
Thrice-nominated for New Zealand's best columnist, Megan Nicol Reed spent seven long years mining her life for a column that originally ran in the Sunday Star Times and then the New Zealand Herald's Canvas magazine. Both loved and loathed, the former journalist's weekly words never failed to provoke a reaction among readers. She became particularly known for her gentle skewering of the middle classes.

Her first novel, One of Those Mothers, was published last year. She is currently working on her second. Megan lives in Auckland with her husband, two teenage children and dog.
