The Writer: Meik V. Fischer

Meik Fischer is a storyteller at heart — an award-winning screenwriter, author, and former rock band frontman with a passion for words in every form. His writing journey has taken him across genres, continents, and stages, from crafting lyrics performed at over 100 gigs to penning screenplays that have been recognized in competitions around the world. When he’s not writing, Meik explores the creative edge of technology, producing lyric videos for original and AI-generated music and supporting indie film projects. With a love for travel and a knack for making people laugh or think (sometimes both), his books aim to entertain, inspire, and connect. Go to bio
