Hi, I'm Megan, and I can write content crafted just for you and for any occasion.
My love for words started at an early age when I would read the dictionary for fun. Throughout school, I relished the chance to compose stories, academic essays, and everything in between.
During my time at Divinity school at Princeton, I learned how to write rituals and homilies. I was amazed by what would happen when you took concepts of the heart and made them palatable to the mind. My Master's education only bolstered my writing potential.
Now I work full-time in hospice and am a student at Johns Hopkins University. I decided to launch "a side hustle" that would allow me to continue to use my creativity and my words to make a special moment more special and to foster deeper connection between people.
Services
Weddings
Every wedding message I compose is entirely unique to the couple. I will only write the piece after I have communicated with the couple so that the piece will be unique to their story and their personalities. My wedding homilies have featured a wide range of creative themes, from dinosaur bones to marble statues to the anatomy of an eye.
Funerals and Memorial Services
Funeral/memorial services should paint a picture of the life of the deceased, while also sharing a universal lesson with the listeners that is inspired by their life. I have crafted numerous messages for people whom I never met. Afterward, numerous family members and friends will comment "it's like you knew him/her."
Ceremonies
Some of the most treasured moments in life are the milestones we celebrate together. Maybe you already have a ceremony planned but you need the perfect words for that big toast. Or maybe you have a huge life event but you have no idea how to craft a ceremony for it. I've got you covered on both fronts.
Website Copy
If you have a business, cause, or product, having a website is a must. And if you really want to communicate regarding your business, cause, or product, then quality website copy is a must. I can take your ideas and translate them into compelling content.
Testimonials
Jean Manz,
Memorial
Shock and grief came pounding unexpectedly at my family’s door in January 2020. My brother in-law died by suicide. Due to Covid19 and the shut-down of large gatherings, we had to find a way to honor Tyler’s life and create a shared meaningful experience as family and friends. Megan had never met my brother in-law and sat over Zoom with my sister, niece and nephews, and extended family—her kind and solid presence was so comforting in our early grief. Out of the conversations she spun a memorial service that so described Tyler one would have thought she had known him for a lifetime. Rather than focusing on the events of his life, she described his true essence. He was a lover of fine things and finishing things. She artfully weaved this throughout the homily. There is no way we could have created such an honoring memorial for Tyler without her guidance and timely words. Thankyou Megan!
Dave and Erin Glass,
Wedding
In June of 2018, my wife, Erin, and I were in between leases, and living for three weeks at a local hotel. With our one-year-old daughter. Which made it the perfect time to squeeze in a wedding. Needless to say, we were in search of some levity during this stressful joyous time.
Enter Megan.
She met with us to learn a little more about our lives, and listened intently to the story of how we met. It didn’t take long before she was able to spin a very funny, very truthful tapestry about Erin and me. When game time finally arrived, Megan won over our guests
within just a few words. And to top it all off? Our wedding date coincided with her 30 th birthday. She could have been anywhere else, but she chose to be with us. What a gal!
