Thank you for visiting. I am a writer of fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction with published works, and a facilitator of creative writing groups. I also work part-time in communications and marketing, and as a freelancer providing services in editing, proofreading and content creation.

I am working on a number of creative projects at the moment including a climate change fiction for young adults, a picture story about accepting responsibility for preschoolers, and a biofiction based on a First Fleet female convict (and ancestor) for adults.

Please contact me about facilitating your writing group; running a writing workshop; or providing content, editing or proofreading services.

Read more about my professional writing and editing here, and more about me here, where my work has been published and what awards I have won here, or read the blog series I wrote while my mum was dying here.

My blog posts are usually about writing, reading and musings from the heart, and sometimes about other things.

I’d love to hear from you about why you dropped by, what you’re working on, and what you are struggling with as it reminds me that my words are of value to others. Please leave a comment on the post or drop me an email.

You can follow me on various social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Goodreads.

Writing retreats and NaNoWriMo

“I was always very impressed with the work Meg did. She is diligent, organised and has great technical ability. I asked Meg back on a number of occasions to do further proofreading and editing work, and recommended her for a number of positions within RMIT.”
– James Hannan, RMIT Student Communications

“I highly recommend Meg as an astute, results oriented editor. She produced very well-regarded materials for the 11th Biennial Conference of the Association for Academic Language and Learning in 2013, including the substantial Conference Program. The clear, logical layout and ease of identifying specific elements were commented on by many participants and her typeface decisions and text orientation on the pages added to this clarity and overall professional ‘look’. Despite very tight deadlines for printing, Meg’s professionalism ensured these deadlines were easily met. She was also a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending her for any writing or editing work.”
– Judy Maxwell, Senior Coordinator at RMIT
