Strengthen Your Writing, Reach Your Goals

Coaching

I work with clients collaboratively to help them achieve their goals and strengthen their writing, whether it’s for work, school, a personal blog, job or grad school applications, or anything else. I take a holistic approach to writing, and offer creative solutions for common challenges including grammar errors, writer’s block, and brainstorming & draft planning, in addition to revision and polishing. Whatever your writing challenge, I’m here to help you through it without judgment or pressure.

What I Do

When you work with me, we work together to help you achieve your goals and strengthen your writing, whether it’s for work, school, a personal blog, job or grad school applications, or anything else. I believe that the process is just as important as the product, and will work with you to help you not only produce a better piece of writing this time, but to become a better writer for the future. Not sure where your issue is but know you’re stuck? No worries — I’ll help you tease it out.

Why I’m Passionate

I have a PhD in Composition and Applied Linguistics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and an MFA in Creative Writing & Poetics from Naropa University, where I worked for two years as a Writing Fellow in the Naropa Writing Center. I also served one year as Head Writing Fellow, helping to oversee the NWC program and implementing best practices in the field of writing tutoring. I taught first year composition at Carnegie Mellon University for two years,  Composition at the University of Pittsburgh for one year, and am currently an Assistant Professor of English at Utah Tech University.

Client Testionials

  • "I would highly recommend working with Megan - not only will she help you communicate your experience, but she will help you gain the confidence to put your best foot forward. Working with Megan helped me go from a place of serious self-doubt, (believing that I would never get in to any program) to feeling confident that I had made a strong case for admission. And it worked! Not only did I get into my first choice program, but I gained the confidence to interview for a coveted research assistantship at the university -- both of which I will start this fall!"

  • "I have worked with Megan many times as a writing coach colleague and client. In both capacities, I have always been blown away by how she is able to take a writer's struggles and break them down into accessible exercises and experiments. Megan has a gift for diffusing frustrations and obstacles, both pragmatically through process-based writing activities, and through her very generous presence. She just gets it. And what's better, she can empathize while simultaneously offering new and enlightening perspectives. She has helped me out of many writing ruts; I'm very grateful to have her as a mentor//a member of my writing wizard arsenal."
