About Us

Hello and welcome to our community of twins, triplets and more!

Multiples Illuminated was founded by Megan Woolsey and Alison Lee, both writers and mothers of multiples (triplets and twins respectively).

Together, they birthed their first anthology Multiples Illuminated: A Collection of Stories and Advice From Parents With Twins, Triplets and More, featuring essays from 20 talented writers and parents of multiples.

These essays tell stories of struggles with infertility, the journey with IVF and surrogacy, the struggles and triumphs of pregnancy, labor and delivery, the trials and tribulations in the NICU, and the amazing first years with multiples.

Their second anthology, Multiples Illuminated: Life with Twins & Triplets, The Toddler to Tween Years, focuses on multiples ages two to 12 years old.

The second book in the series will give you a glimpse into the amazing lives of families with multiples told from the perspective of 21 parents from all walks of life and at different stages of parenting. You will find yourself feeling less alone on this incredible journey parenting multiples.

Multiples parents have a special and unique bond that tie us together.

Our hope is that readers will find value and entertainment connecting with fellow parents of multiples and learning about their journey.
