Megan is an young adult living in Melbourne, Australia. She is currently studying Writing & Editing, and while doing that, she is working several jobs: running children's parties, working for a foster agency, working for Marketing and Corporate Communications at her school and she also tutors children in English (see Tutoring for more information).
She also writes. Mostly fiction, although this year she's also branched out into non-fiction, and has had published success with her non-fiction opinion pieces.
Those who know Megan will tell you that she rambles a lot, and talks very fast. Megan has to agree with that. She'd also like to let you know that she believes in camera, iPods, mobiles, laptops (Gen Y all the way!), ice cream, sleeping in and children's movies.
Megan spent her gap year in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. She saw a lot of stuff in that year, most of which she can't repeat on this website. What she can tell you is Alice Springs is an amazing place and she urges everyone to visit it.
Megan is currently working on her first young adult novel, although she has (like many writers) several shelved, incomplete manuscripts. It's about three friends, the year after they graduate from high school. The novel moves between time and explores various issues including identity, sexual exploration and friendship.
Megan loves Popular Penguins (as seen below) and Ask Daphne (see links page).
