Megan has a special kinship with young people, especially anxious ones. She grew up experiencing a lot of anxiety herself and has recently been diagnosed with ADHD. She believes that her highly sensitive nature and personal experience of neurodiversity are among her greatest strengths in the classroom.
Megan’s short stories have been shortlisted and come runner up in the following national short story competitions: the RTE Guide/Penguin Ireland, Listowel Writers’ Week Originals, From the Well Short Story Competition (run by the Cork County Council Arts Office), Ireland's Own Magazine, and Writing.ie/ Anam Cara Flash Fiction.
Megan's School
Megan loves encouraging children to write fantastical stories of their own making. In 2007 she founded her creative writing school around a kitchen table in the Skerries Bookshop. Much to her delight students returned term after term and she watched them blossom into happy and confident writers. She has taught children with autism, ADHD, dysgraphia, dyslexia and children with many other neurodiversities including high sensitivity. It is her joy to encourage and inspire every child to reach their individual potential.
