About Megan and the Writers’ Greenhouse

I’m Megan, and I run The Writers’ Greenhouse: a one-woman business offering creative-writing courses for adults. I believe that everyone is allowed to do creative writing, of all kinds, and that we learn and write best when we 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.

“An expert guide who succeeds in wearing her expertise lightly: the hallmark of a true educator.” – Prof Jake

Want to dive deeper?

If your story's direction feels unclear, the middle's "soggy", or you're wondering how to organise everything, Narrative Drive and Plot Tension Map will make it all clear and exciting again.

These are the plot tools I want everyone to have: every time someone's struggling with a plot, these two tools illuminate exactly what the problem is, and how to fix it. You can use them to plan, troubleshoot, or redraft, and apply them to a whole story, a tricky act, or a single scene.
