Scott Meyer is an American author who has gained significant recognition for his work, particularly his Magic 2.0 series of books. These fictional novels have garnered him a loyal fanbase and established his reputation in the literary world.
Before his successful career as an author, Meyer had a diverse range of experiences. He worked as a radio DJ and a stand-up comic, demonstrating his ability to entertain and engage audiences through different mediums. He also tried his hand at writing for video games and served as an office manager. However, it was his creation of the comic strip Basic Instructions that truly propelled him into the public eye. This comic strip allowed him to build a dedicated following, which later became crucial in the success of his self-published novel, "Off to Be the Wizard."
Meyer's journey to becoming a bestselling author was not without its challenges. After an unsuccessful career in radio and a moderately successful stint as a stand-up comic, he found himself working at Walt Disney World as a ride operator in his middle age. Despite these setbacks, he continued to create and share his work, eventually leading to the success of his first novel and a subsequent publishing deal. Now, Meyer resides in Arizona with his wife, their cats, and his essential possession, a functioning air conditioner.
