Meg Wicks

Meg Wicks – Editor

I've loved words — both reading and writing from before my memory even begins, and I believe that libraries are magical spaces.

Overview

I've been writing, editing, and copywriting in various forms since 2002. I have worked on books, magazines, marketing copy, and web copy. My editing experience ranges from romance novels to Bible studies with lots of variety in between.

In me, you'll find a self-motivated, high-energy, and results-driven professional with eighteen years of progressive experience in writing, editing, project management, and campaign execution. My peers and co-workers describe me as articulate, persuasive, possessing excellent communication, presentation, and time management skills.
