Megan's School
Megan has a special kinship with young people, especially anxious ones. She grew up experiencing a lot of anxiety herself and has been diagnosed with ADHD. Megan uses journaling and writing stories to calm her mind and keep her imagination busy.
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.
