An introduction

Megan Febuary

Welcome! I am so glad you have dropped by. I am Megan Febuary, Author, Trauma-informed Writing Coach, Editor, and Creative Mentor. I am also the founder of the literary magazine For Women Who Roar, which has featured thousands of women worldwide, and the creator of Human Design for Writers.

My passion for storytelling began at a young age when I found the power of creative expression through writing, art, and music to help heal trauma and uncover the lost voice. This led me to research the power of creative expression to heal past pain. With a background in narrative-focused trauma care and embodied storytelling, I received my M.A. from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, emphasizing The Body is a Storyteller: Trauma, Body, and Integration. In my work with writers, I weave these Narrative Therapy studies and Story Work to help them craft their stories and write their sacred first drafts.

I am also the published author of the For Women Who Roar poetry collection. My second book, Brave The Page: How Writing Our Hard Stories Brings Healing and Wholeness is now available for preorder!

Dan Allender

“Megan’s theoretical comprehension of the issues of abuse is excellent, but she exceeds even more in inviting others to use art to access material that is often not accessible through talk therapy. As an artist, her capacity to help others risk and plunge into the process of artistry is tender and wise.” -Dan Allender, Author of The Wounded Heart
