Meyer se kortverhale “Diefwering”, “Vuurpyl” en “Soet” word in 2020-2022 se US Woordfees Kortverhaalbundels opgeneem. In September 2024 merk haar kortverhaal “Vasbyt” Meyer se vyfde publikasie in dié jaarlikse feesbundel.

Meyer se debuutroman, MOER, word in April 2022 gepubliseer by Protea Boekhuis. Die tweede druk van MOER verskyn vyf maande later.
Meyer glo in die woord as wapen, en skryf graag selde-gehoorde dinge oop in Suid-Afrikaanse publikasies.
Sy het ’n versameling klippe en klim graag boom. Sy woon in Pretoria-Oos saam met haar eggenoot.
