A few words of encouragement from our beautiful joyful writing community:

"I felt really heard."

Ash | uniqueholistichappiness.com

I wouldn’t want to work with any other writing mentor. I felt really heard.

"I'm actually doing something about my writing instead of beating myself up"

by Marie

I do believe that your mentoring and guidance around my writing has led to me feeling more fulfilled as I'm actually doing something about my writing instead of beating myself up for not doing anything.

"I didn't know how to start"

by Sarah | thesearethedays.co

...with so many ideas, I didn't know how to start. Megan's programme offered the safe space and hand hold I needed. She helped me explore ideas and make decisions in a gentle, supportive way. I can't believe I'm now deep in the process of writing my first book and heading towards finishing my first draft!

"Magic"

by Amy

I would not experience this growth, pride, healthy nerves, and feeling of accomplishment (already) without you. I think the work you are creating is magic. Thank you.

Is the programme for you?

Only if you're ready for magic.

The Magic of Memoir course *is* for you if you’re ready to put your truth on the page and shape it into a story for an audience. You don't need a concrete idea for how you'll do this yet, but the course may *not* be for you if you want to write only for yourself. If you're unsure, get in touch with Dr Meg using the Contact form above.
