You're ready to finally finish your novel?

That's the best news I've heard all day!

Well hi, I'm Megan!

PUBLISHED AUTHOR, CAT MOM, WRITING COACH

After nearly six years of winging it, outlining templates, and leaning into the "just write more" advice...

...I had two half-done novels and a solid existential crisis about my dreams.

(It was great :))

That's when I balled my hands into fists, glared deep into the white void of a fresh Google Doc, and said, "there HAS to be a better way to do this."

I took everything I'd learned over a decade of studying writing and put it into a simple, organized approach to developing novels before writing them.

Now I help writers all over the world finally get their stories to click.

It brings tears to their eyes.

It brings tears to my eyes.

Everyone's crying, but it's okay...

Anyway! The best place to start if you want to get in on this action is with my free guide, right below this section!

And if you care about things like this, I hold an English degree from the University of Toronto and a graduate certificate in creative writing from Humber College. I've published short fiction, poetry, and journalism with folks like Fabula Press, Poets Choice, Orlando Arts Magazine, Urbana, InterVarsity Canada, and others.

what my writers say:

Chris M.

1:1 coaching

"After just our first conversation, I became a motivated novice writer with direction! Her patience and, in my case, empathy, are a gift, and I couldn’t recommend working with Megan more strongly."

Tori W.

1:1 coaching

"Megan is an incredible person as well as a fantastic teacher. I had a 1:1 session with her, and I was blown away by both her sincerity and professionalism. I have so much respect for Megan, both as a writer and for what she does for the writing community as a whole."

Asif M.

developmental editing

"Megan is a beautiful anomaly of life who is wise beyond her years and has the ability to see different perspectives and possibilities to strengthen a story without compromising its intent or integrity."

Aaron F.

1:1 coaching & Novel Wayfinder

"There's just no value equal to what a solid hour conversation with a great writing coach can do for not only your confidence but ultimately your story. Megan's encouraging, she's insightful, she's going to be your partner to help you get the information you need to move on in your journey."

Zeke W.

1:1 coaching & Novel Wayfinder

"I appreciated Megan's professionalism as a coach, her encouragement, and her ability to actually understand what another author is wanting to do and help them realize it.

There's no substitute for being able to discuss ideas openly with someone who actually understands what you're trying to do with them."

Scott J.

1:1 coaching

"You've had a good influence on a diehard pantser. It's been hard to weave all the strings together into something coherent, but our call helped me see both the bigger picture and the through-line that keeps the story moving toward a strong ending.

Your creativity in helping me settle my (many!) ideas and focus them around a working premise was super valuable."

Grant J.

Novel Wayfinder

"It seems so obvious in hindsight, but the power of having support in this creative journey is insanely underrated.

Megan takes her time to understand her client's projects and ensures she is meeting them where they are at and then pushing them past their own boundaries from that point.

Her ability to help me feel comfortable and confident in my own work and abilities is crazy impressive."

Rebecca R.

1:1 coaching

"It was really touching and reassuring to have someone speak about my story ideas with such positivity and sensitivity - it was really clear that Megan took the time to read my pre-meeting questionnaire and hopped on board with it!

I had some ideas for plot points, but they didn't really make sense as a story, and instead of seeing the problems, Megan was able to see the bits that were good and build and rearrange them in a way that made me see my own story more clearly."

Craig F.

Novel Wayfinder

"As someone who hasn't been trained as a writer, I'd have to say that Megan helped me flesh out a story that I truly enjoy. And in such a short amount of time."

What my writers create

I work with writers primarily in the early stages (developing, outlining, writing).

So it's a HUGE treat when I get to see them cross the final finish line!

Here are a couple recent books my writers have published:
