Mia is back!
I can’t believe it’s been a decade and a half since we first met that so not-ready-for-royalty princess, Mia Thermopolis, and six years since we last saw a book about about her! She–and we–have come a long way since then, from barely passing Algebra, to that first kiss from Michael, to saving Genovia, her kingdom, from financial ruin! […]
Princess Week
Did you know April 22-28 is National Princess Week? Of course you did! (If you’re like me, you assumed every week was Princess Week and were surprised to learn this isn’t true.) But according to Disney and Target, they only “officially” recognized Princess Week is this week. That’s when they will be promoting all princess-themed […]
Goodbye 2009!
Is anyone really sorry to see 2009 go? If you ask me, 2009 acted like a bad houseguest, staying way too long, and leaving only chaos in its wake: Too many people died too young; too many married men proved to be cheating horndogs; and too many babies were found running around along the side […]
Strong Female Characters
Guess who’s going to be on Voice of America? That’s right. Me. (And Diana Gabaldon. And Shannon Hale. And Kristin Cashore. Yeah! The theme for the show is Strong Female Characters, in case you didn’t notice.) I know you totally want to listen to it, and you can, by going here. The show will air […]
Start Spreading the News….
I’m busy getting ready for my big trip to New York City for Book Expo America, where I’ll be speaking and signing this Friday (click here to see my complete schedule)! I’ll be speaking at the Children’s Book & Author Breakfast with authors Tomie de Paola and Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Julie Andrews will be the […]
No Blue Wieners (or Zombies) Allowed
Guess what? Her Royal Highness Princess Mia Thermopolis has updated her blog (finally…it’s hard to be a student princess/romance novelist). There’s Ransom My Heart in France and Spring Break news! Mon Dieu. And if you haven’t voted for Airhead as your choice for Teen Book of the Year at the Children’s Choice Book Awards, what […]
Valentine’s Day Book Give Away!
Yes! It’s that time again! February is the month of romance–which can sometimes stink, I know, if you don’t have a Valentine. That’s why I’ll be giving away romances all month! The books (yes, that says books, plural) I’m giving away this week are: Tommy Sullivan Is a Freak This the UK paperback version of […]
Royal Send Off
Happy Groundhog’s Day! I hope none of you are reliving the same day over and over like Bill Murray…. …or that if you are, it’s a really good day! My birthday yesterday was a day I wouldn’t mind reliving over and over (well, except for the part where I ate something that had peanut sauce […]

Chats, Chesley B., and PD10 Trailer Winners!
How glued to your TV were you all afternoon yesterday? Having three New Yorkers visiting me (and He Who Shall Not Be Named In This Blog and I being displaced New Yorkers–though not by birth since we’re both Hoosiers), we could not take our eyes off the live coverage of Flight 1549’s landing on the […]
The End…or a New Beginning
It ended exactly where it all started…at the library, of course! I mean, I spent HOURS as a kid and teen at the library, escaping into a world of books. Everything was just BETTER at the library (besides fantastic books, the library had air conditioning, candy–from vending machines–and bathrooms where no one pounded on the […]
Tonight is the Night….
…of my big New York Public Library signing! If you’ve seen the Sex and the City movie (or any movie about New York City which featured the big library with the giant stone lions outside), you know where my signing tonight is going to be, so even if you can’t be there, you can picture […]
Pub Day!
Forever Princess and Ransom My Heart are out today! (I know a ton of you have found them in stores already…but today’s the “official” pub date! They should be available EVERYWHERE now!) I’ve spent all day in a tiny TV studio, talking to news journalists I can’t see from all around the country! Maybe I’ll […]
Tiara Madness
Happy New Year everyone! What did you do to celebrate the ringing in of 2009? I, like everyone else, watched a drag queen get dropped from the roof of a bar in a big red shoe. Did you see her? Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper interviewed her live from Key West on CNN! Piece of […]
Forever Princess Sneak Peek
Holiday greetings, merrymakers! I’ve just gotten back from my traditional Christmas Day bike ride along the beach, trying to work off some of that peppermint bark (now I can eat more of it!) before I veg out in front of Scrooged, and as promised, I’m going to gift you all with the sneak peek of […]
Holidaze and a Book Trailer Contest
It’s nearly here! I’m talking about Christmas, of course. I love Christmas and everything about it—the carols, the food, the lights, the food, the TV specials, the food, the excitement in the air, the food, Santa, the food, the Christmas newsletters, just everything about it, especially the food, in case I forgot to mention that. […]
For UK Readers Only
If you do not live in the UK, do not read this. US readers (and the rest of the world who does not live in the UK and its territories), look away. Go read Cuteoverload instead! OK, has everyone who doesn’t live in the UK gone away? Yes? Good! Shhhh, UK readers–Do not tell anyone […]
Oh, Mo!
Poor Mo Rocca! He’s having a lot of trouble with the tiara he’s making for my auction to raise money for the New York Public Library’s teen programs, as he describes in his blog here. He even made a video about it! I’m very proud of Mo. I know a lot of us (I’m not […]
Tiaras ‘n Tweets
Oh my God, you guys. So many of you RSVP’d for my NYPL event, it’s already sold out (and we haven’t even sent out the snail mail invitations we had printed up)! I guess word got out via Sarah Dessen’s blog about a certain celebrity emcee who will be in attendance….or are you all just […]
Books…and a Tiara Auction!
I can’t believe it. But there’s less than a month until the last Princess Diaries book ever comes out! Is that even possible? But widgets don’t lie: It’s really strange to be approaching the holidays and not have a Princess Diaries book due! This is the first time in over ten years. It’s making me […]

State of Blue
Gah! So much has happened since I last updated this diary, I don’t know where to begin. First of all, we have a new president elect! Yes, we DID! Is it just me or does this entire country just seem…happier? I mean, I had to get on two airplanes the day after the election (from […]
Scary Fairies
Today has been insane! (Actually, this whole week and the entirety of next month is going to be insane with all the work I have to do, which I got behind doing when I was away and then I got even more behind doing when I was trying to watch all the Exileds and Gossip […]
New Look
Hi! You might notice (if you’ve emptied your cache lately) that there’s a new look around here. That was my rockin’ web crew over at Hanee Design. I had nothing to do with it. I’m in SWEDEN. People here speak a different language, but if you go, “Do you speak English?” they’ll switch right over […]
Princess and the (Green)Peace Press Release
I’m off to my world tour today but I want to make sure you hear this here first since the press release went out today: THE PRINCESS AND THE (GREEN)PEACE Bestselling Author Meg Cabot Reveals that Princess Mia Thermopolis Will Pen Historical Romance Debut, RANSOM MY HEART: (Avon A/an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers; ISBN 9780061700071; […]

Journal entries may be sporadic as I attempt to vacation…without access to the Internet! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! So I’m posting this sneak peek to Princess Diaries 10, the last (for now—sob!) book in the Princess Diaries series, for people to enjoy in between reading my latest release, The New Girl!

Corporal Cuddling
What a week it’s been already! First off, I’m done with Princess Diaries 10…. Well, okay, I’m done with the first revision. We’ll see if I need to do more. If so, it’s cool. I’m up for it. Because…. I’m feeling MUCH better! Although according to: Don’t laugh, beginners need books like this. I’ll move […]
The C Word
I won’t lie to you. I’m a little depressed. And it’s not because I keep getting emails from people who are angry with me because they ran out to buy my new books and it turns out they’ve already read them…. To those people, I just want to say, I’m very pleased you enjoyed my […]
Contest Winners
Congratulations to the winners of the Princess Diaries IX: Princess Mia T-Shirt Design Contest! We were originally only going to have one winner. But some of you sent in fantastic designs that were Princess Diaries themed, though not necessarily Princess Diaries IX themed. And they were so good, we still wanted to consider them. So […]
Birthday Slut
Thanks to everyone who sent me happy birthday wishes yesterday! Sadly, it was a working birthday. I’ve sworn to myself that next month, when I’m done with Princess Diaries 10, I’m going to take a week off at a tropical island resort somewhere, and just lay around in a hammock, and do nothing. (I realize […]
Why Tim Riggins Didn’t Ask You Out
From Blue Monday (the third Monday in January is, apparently, the gloomiest day of the year) to the crazy ride on Wall Street, to the terrible news about Heath Ledger, this had been a sucky week. I don’t know about you, but I could use a little “Sugar High” from Empire Records to cheer me […]
Pssst…..
Popping in for a moment from my blog-caytion to say: Don’t forget I’ll be chatting about Princess Diaries 9, Princess Mia, with anyone who shows up this Sunday at 2PM EST here. The chatroom only holds 50, so show up on time or you might find yourself shivering in the cold, unable to get in, […]
Blog-caytion!
OK, while I was recuperating from getting my ovary and twenty years of endometriosis yanked, I got really behind with work (which I was kind of behind with before). So now I’m REALLY behind. So I need to buckle down and focus– –even though I’d love to chat with you instead about how I’ve developed […]
Banned In The USA
I’m exhausted from all the goings on this weekend, as I’m sure you are, too. If it wasn’t Barack-and-Britney-Watch, it was being banned– Oh, you didn’t hear? Yeah, I finally got officially banned. Some of you might already know, if you read Maureen Johnson’s blog. As many of you might be aware, I’ve been wanting […]
Mamma Mia!
It’s here! Princess Mia is in stores now! Well, actually it was in a few stores last week, because some booksellers couldn’t resist putting it out on shelves early for eager Christmas shoppers (I’m told. I didn’t actually see this, I just heard about it). But it, along with Princess on the Brink in paperback, […]
Princess Mia
Check out what I just got in the mail yesterday…and no, it wasn’t a Christmas present! Author’s copies of Princess Mia! Two giant boxes of them! But that’s not all. I got these, too: For once, the paperback of the last Princess Diaries installment (Princess on the Brink) will actually be in stores at the […]
Holiday Spirit!
A lot of people want to know why Princess Diaries 9 (click here for a sneak peek) isn’t coming out until AFTER Hannukah and Christmas. Well, that’s easy…my publishers know what you’re getting from your grandparents: Money and gift cards! And they’re hoping on December 26, you’re going to spend it on books (not just […]
Dumbledore is Gay!!!!
I knew it. I don’t mean to brag or anything, but my gaydar is seriously fine-tuned thanks to all the guys I’ve dated over the years who turned out to be same-sex oriented (I’ve gotten much better now than I used to be. Now I just assume every guy I meet is gay until he […]

Books, Blogs, and Back to School
Here’s a quick look at what’s going on in the world of books and blogs (at least, that I’ve noticed): According to my UK site, I have two new books coming out today in the United Kingdom (well, one new one, and one newly released one): the UK version of JINX: And the Princess Diaries […]
Princess Diaries 9, Princess Mia
I see that the Harper Teen website has put up the Princess Diaries 9 cover (even though last time I talked to Harper, they told me they were redoing this cover…oh well), so I guess it’s OK for me to put it up, too! (No, Mia doesn’t go to China in this book. But she […]
Important things you have written to tell me:
–That the message boards are down. I know. Janey is taking them down to give them an upgrade to prepare for the onslaught that occurs every summer when so many of my readers get out of school. Don’t worry, your posts will be saved and they’ll be up again by Monday, if not sooner, and […]
Pants on Fire Tour Day 4 and 5
Back in NYC (in my own apartment, no less!): Thanks to the wonderful world of the Internet, I already know what happened on The Office last night even though I was at a book signing (thank you to everyone who came to see me at Diane’s Books. You were all wonderful. Caroline, thank you for […]
Article in February CosmoGirl! And other Dishy News!
Check out the February issue of CosmoGirl! (on stands now) for an article written by me on the benefits of keeping a journal (hint: they’re not what you’d think), with exclusive excerpts from the ACTUAL journal I kept when I was sixteen (in my own handwriting. With actual boys’ names. It’s so embarrassing)! My article, […]
Dreams Do Come True
Have you ever had a secret—or even not-so-secret—dream? A dream that maybe you wished upon a star would come true? Or prayed for on bended knee? A dream that everyone told you was totally unrealistic…would never come true…to just give up on…that, yeah, okay, might happen for other people, but was never going to happen […]

As promised, here's a sneak peek at SWEET SIXTEEN PRINCESS, due in US bookstores on May 23.

CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR AUTHOR
It's the holidays again, which means a lot of authors are visiting with family members right now, many of whom may, while trying to be helpful, say the wrong thing, and hurt the author's feelings. So I think this is the perfect time for a refresher course in the Care and Feeding of Your Author. […]

It’s Halloween—so Happy Holidays!
Happy Halloween! I hope you are all getting more treats than tricks. I had a fantastic Halloween weekend, thanks to VAMPIRE BATS, the made for TV disaster movie about–well, vampire bats—starring Lucy Lawless. Awesome stuff.

Valentine’s Day Post Mortem
So? How was it? Did you boycott? Did you save your money so you can go buy candy today for half off? Or did you break down, write him a twelve page love letter, slip it through the vent on his locker door, then spend the whole day worrying about how to get it back, […]

So I was going to post a written excerpt from PD6 here for the people who can't download the new audio excerpt from Princess Diaries 6, Princess in Training that just got posted here. But my publisher beat me to it! There's already a written excerpt posted there! So instead I will just have to […]

Even though I started www.megcabotbookclub.com thinking it would cut down on the amount of reader mail I get, since I could answer people's questions on the message boards, I was wrong, wrong, wrong. If anything, I get even MORE mail now—only now I get it through the book club's Contact […]
ENGAGEMENT CALENDAR OUT TODAY!!!!
Hello. I was deep in the throes of writing my next novel–which I'm not telling ANYONE about, not even my nearest and dearest, except that it's not a sequel to anything–when suddenly it occurred to me: I have a book out today. Well, not really a book. It's an engagement calendar. A totally cute one. […]
The Early Show (again), Princess Diaries 6 (again), and Projectile Vomit
So, yeah, the Early Show. I've actually been hearing from people who saw me on it! I was kind of shocked that nothing happened to mess it up, to tell you the truth. But the car came and got me at 7AM, and when we got to the studio, I was whisked into hair and […]

Want a free autographed advanced copy of PD5 and a sneak peek at PD6? Read on: So I've always had this thing for islands. Maybe it was because I grew up in Indiana, which is kind of land-locked (well, except for the Great Lakes, but whatever, they were like a 5 hour drive from my […]
More Sneak Peeks
Wow. I got a lot of mail in response to that last mailbag. I'm still trying to answer it all. And almost all of it was about the Mediator 6 sneak peek. Which was, really, like 10 lines long. Some of you are reading an awful lot into those ten lines. All I can say […]
Valentine’s Day Shocker!
So I was innocently watching Extreme Makeovers tonight (why is this show so good? I KNOW it's wrong to like it so much, and yet….) when this ad for The Princess Diaries came on ABC. Get this: They are showing it for the first time ever on non-cable TV on VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!!!!! Even more alarming: […]
ELLA ENCHANTED
Someone just told me they saw a trailer for Princess Diaries 2 at the movies this weekend, so I hurried over to Apple.com to look for myself (you can see all sorts of trailers there) and I saw that the movie they were talking about wasn't Princess Diaries 2, but Ella Enchanted, which is also […]
Naked People
More on the naked people in a minute. First, I wanted to say that I had a very good birthday, mostly due to the HUNDREDS of people who emailed birthday salutations to me. Seriously, you guys are SO COOL, thank you SO much for thinking of me. I totally plan on emailing each and everyone […]
