Every Soul Has A Story® Podcast hosted by Dara Levan with guest Meredith Schorr! We chatted about romance, writing inspiration, authenticity on and off the page—and lots of laughter in between! A born and bred New Yorker and “lifelong daydreamer,” Meredith fueled her passion for writing everything from restaurant reviews, original birthday cards, and even work-related emails into a career penning romantic comedies. When she’s not writing books filled with grand gestures and hard-earned happily-ever-afters or working as a trademark paralegal, she’s most often reading, running, or watching TV…for research, of course.

Meredith’s trade paperback debut with Grand Central Publishing/Forever, AS SEEN ON TV, published on June 7, 2022.
