Founders do not build great companies and legacies by living boring lives. You get to where you are today by taking great risks, not unlike epic heroes of the world’s most inspiring stories. Let’s record that journey together and turn it into an epic book.
WHY HIRE ME?
I take immense pride in hearing each author’s unique voice and making it sing out on the page. (I can’t make you a better singer, though.)
For over nine years, I have worked with a wide range of clients to produce bestselling books. More importantly, I have worked with clients to transform lives. Books are a fantastic way to introduce yourself to your community on speaking tours, through a university course, or as a slightly larger version of your business card. I’m passionate about helping you achieve your goals through this book.
In addition to writing nonfiction books, I also write fiction. Storytelling is my passion, and I’m pretty darn good at it, too. I know that all founders undergo their own version of the hero’s journey. You’ve heeded the call to adventure. You’ve undergone trials and tests. You’ve slayed the dragon, grown from your experiences, and now you want to return and help others on their journey. All of that makes for a pretty damn good book.
My clients read early drafts of their books with anticipation…even though they’ve lived it! Have you got an epic tale to tell? I can’t wait to hear it. If your life feels stranger than fiction, even better. Let me capture your story and share it with the world.
PROCESS
Give me a few hours of your time and we can make magic. Here’s my process:
* We book a strategy session to discuss your outline, timeline, and goals for the book.
* We build an outline and begin collecting content through weekly interviews.
* I write your manuscript while you sit on the beach, enjoy a martini lunch, or spend time with your family. (Beach trip not included in my fees.)
* We discuss the first draft and any necessary rewrites or edits. You discuss how happy you are with your friends, family, and team.
* I can connect you with a self-publishing partner or hybrid publisher. If you intend to pitch your book to agents and traditional publishers, I can create those materials for an extra fee.
The overall process takes between six to nine months.
TESTIMONIALS
Here’s what my clients have had to say about working with me:
"Megan is extremely talented at what she does. Her writing is excellent but moreover she was very responsive to all messages and was able to finish the project before the deadline. We were writing a complete book so it wasn't small job, either. An excellent writer that I highly recommend for anyone, jobs large or small."
"Surprised how fast the work was completed and the tone & content are spot on!"
"Working with Megan has been wonderful! She is professional, extremely punctual, a fantastic communicator, and has a pleasant easy-going nature. She was able to synthesize some ideas I had, into a very creative, concise and relevant manuscript. I'm grateful to have found her and look forward to her continued project collaboration. Without reserve, I highly recommend Megan for any creative writing needs!"
"Working with Megan was a real pleasure! She's very talented, very responsive, and very professional."
"Megan was so great to work with! She is professional, friendly, and super smart. Her creativity and willingness to go above and beyond was appreciated. I will look forward to working with her in the future."

Strong writer with academic research skills. Areas of particular strength include education, sociology, philosophy, psychology, and counseling. Exceptional editing/proofreading skills with strong knowledge of APA ed 7 style.
Working as a college professor teaching sociology, psychology, and philosophy with a number of colleges and universities, taught me the importance of knowing your audience. It also provided me the opportunity to perfect my ability to explain complex information in engaging and obtainable ways.

Book Editor & Ghostwriter | Developmental | Line | Copy | KDP Formatting
Most authors come to me after realizing the same thing: a talented writer and a publication-ready manuscript are not the same thing.
I've worked with 25+ authors across fiction and nonfiction. The gap between the two is almost never about talent. It's structure. Voice. Consistency. The things a good editor catches before a publisher or reader does.
My background is a little unusual. Before books, I was a field journalist and correspondent, an information assurance manager at Leidos, and an analyst with the FBI. That history shows up in how I read. I notice what's missing from a narrative. I flag accuracy and consistency problems that slip past readers who aren't trained to look. I think at the structural level, whether that's plot or argument, because that's how I was trained to work with documents. A Christian fiction novel gets the same attention I once gave federal-level work.
What I do:
Ghostwriting
For authors, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who have the ideas and need someone to build the manuscript. I work from conversations, emails, or outlines and write in your voice. Fiction and nonfiction: novels, business books, memoirs, self-help, personal development.
Developmental Editing
Plot structure, character arcs, pacing, point of view, narrative logic, audience alignment. The big-picture pass everything else depends on.
Line Editing
Sentence and paragraph-level work. Your voice stays intact. The weak spots get fixed.
Copy Editing
Grammar, punctuation, timeline consistency, style guide adherence. Chicago Manual of Style, APA, MLA, or your publisher's house style.
Proofreading
The final pass before your manuscript goes to an agent, publisher, or self-publishing platform.
KDP & Kindle Formatting
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing formatting for self-publishing authors, ebook and print-ready.
Beta Reading & Manuscript Critique
Detailed reader feedback with marketability evaluation. Full editorial letters for authors still working through early revision.
Genres I work in:
Christian and inspirational fiction. Romance (contemporary, historical, paranormal). Memoir and personal narrative. Business, self-help, and personal development. Health, wellness, and lifestyle. Literary and women's fiction. Creative nonfiction.
Faith-based manuscripts are a particular strength. I understand both the spiritual content and the publishing landscape for Christian literature, and those aren't the same thing.
What every project includes:
Track Changes and detailed margin comments throughout. A custom style sheet built for your book: character names, preferred spellings, stylistic choices, timeline notes. Developmental and line edits include a full editorial letter. I'm available for follow-up questions once you're working through revisions.
Before we start:
I offer a sample edit on your first 1,000 to 1,500 words at no charge. You'll see how I work before committing to anything.
Google Docs or Microsoft Word with Track Changes. Complete confidentiality. Delivery on the agreed timeline.
Send me a message with your genre, word count, and timeline.
