Megan's grinning faceAbout Megan and the Writers’ Greenhouse

I’m Megan and I run The Writers’ Greenhouse: a one-woman business offering creative-writing courses and resources for adults. I believe that everyone can write creatively, and everyone can do all kinds of creative writing. I also believe that we learn best and we write best when we let ourselves loosen up, and approach it playfully.

You can join live courses and workshops in Oxford or on Zoom, use the Evergreen Resources for self-paced exploration, and join the Community for ongoing support.

“Practical, care-filled, joyful suggestions and exercises that left me with a solid sense of knowing I can write” – Lauren
“An expert guide who succeeds in wearing her expertise lightly: the hallmark of a true educator.” – Prof Jake
