Welcome to Story Studio
Helping writers discover how they’re uniquely designed to write and create, develop and edit meaningful books, and heal through the power of writing our stories.
The Story Studio is my creative practice for writers.
It’s where Human Design, developmental editing, and years of mentoring writers through trauma-informed creative mentorship come together to help you create books and projects that feel deeply true to who you are.
Whether you’re searching for your creative direction, developing a manuscript, looking for thoughtful editorial guidance, or seeking to heal through the power of writing. I’m here to walk alongside you.
Love, Megan

Writing By Design
Writing by Design is a personalized Human Design experience created specifically for writers. Together we’ll explore your creative strengths, writing rhythms, and the patterns that may be contributing to creative overwhelm. Get ready for some serious illuminations into your writing life!
You’ll leave with:
• A deeper understanding of your unique creative design
• Insight into your writing process and creative rhythms
• Clarity around the book or stories calling you right now
• Practical next steps for your writing life + a 50+ page PDF of your unique blueprint and a recording of our call.
Book Mentorship
Book Mentorship offers thoughtful one-on-one guidance through the early stages of creating your manuscript. Together we’ll develop your concept, clarify your message, shape the structure of your book, and create a sustainable path toward completing your first draft.
Together we’ll work through things like:
• Developing and refining your book idea
• Creating a strong structure and outline
• Navigating creative blocks and overwhelm
• Receiving thoughtful feedback as your manuscript develops
The First Look
A developmental review of your opening 10,000 words.
The First Look is a developmental review of your first 10,000 words. Rather than focusing purely on grammar or copyediting,
I’ll read your manuscript with an trauma-informed editor’s eye—looking for the deeper patterns and opportunities that will help you build a stronger book.
You’ll receive thoughtful in-line comments, a detailed editorial letter, and practical next steps so you can continue writing with greater confidence.

What People Are Saying
“If any of you even have an inkling of a desire to write a book.. work with Megan. As she says, ‘you don’t have to write alone.’ She has been a faithful companion for my writing journey. Her wisdom, presence, and guidance has allowed me to find the courage I didn’t know I had or needed to write these stories.”
– Katherine Sleadd, How To Be A Bad Friend
"From my first interaction with Megan I could see the path forward and while I could've written a book without her, I wouldn't want to-and if I'm honest I don't know that I would have. The editing and feedback she provided feel invaluable and having completed my manuscript I can wholeheartedly say I'd love to work with her again."
– Mel Gentry Bosna, In The House of Me
Because of her endless guidance, kind words, gentle nudges, and boundless love and energy, I have a manuscript that is almost ready to query to agents less than a year since I started it. Thank you Megan, for being the best book coach and editor a writer could ask for.”
–Narjis Shiekh, The Rishta
About Megan
For almost a decade, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside writers as they discover their voice, shape their stories, and bring meaningful books into the world.
I’m the author of Brave the Page and the founder of For Women Who Roar, a literary community dedicated to publishing and celebrating women’s stories. Through my work as a developmental editor, writing mentor, and creator of Human Design for Writers, I’ve spent years helping writers move from uncertainty to clarity, not by giving them someone else’s formula, but by helping them trust their own voice.
My work is grounded in thoughtful editorial guidance, deep listening, and the belief that every writer has a unique creative process. Whether we’re exploring how you’re designed to write, developing your book from its earliest idea, or strengthening the opening pages of your manuscript, my hope is the same: that you’ll leave with a clearer path forward and greater confidence in yourself as a writer.
I’m excited to connect with you!
