Overview

YOU WROTE A STORY FROM YOUR HEART,

BUT IT DIDN’T FIT YOUR VISION.

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?


Let’s work together!

Hi, I’m Megan. I’m a copyeditor and proofreader for authors who are struggling to write the story that fits the vision of their heart.

Every story has the potential to change the world, and I can help you unlock your story’s treasure trove of potential to impact your readers and fit your vision. I can’t remember a time in my life where stories haven’t impacted me, and as a little girl, I read so many books that even the librarian struggled to find a new read for me!

The writing journey isn’t an easy one, and as I’ve gone through different seasons in life, I wish I had someone to encourage me to continue writing despite the many obstacles I faced. So, that’s what I’m here for!

I’m the Lothlórien of your writing journey – a place where you can find the tools, encouragement, and direction you need to continue forward.
