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.
