About Me

Maegan Blackwell is a proud Canadian living on an island in the Salish Sea with her family and dogs. She is a writer, editor, and educator. When she isn’t working on books, you can find her walking her dogs to get more coffee (for herself, pup cups for the dogs), hanging out with her family, cooking, and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. As a former teacher, she believes open conversations about therapy and mental health struggles are vital.

Testimonials

Maegan Blackwell is a thoughtful, thorough developmental editor. In fact, she’s stellar! Her feedback on my middle grade novel in progress felt like a gift—a bird’s eye view on structure and creative, actionable suggestions to strengthen it as well as little notes of praise and encouragement to keep my spirits up for the ensuing revision. She gave me permission and tools to see my project anew and make changes in my own way. The best part? I now have a roadmap as a guide at my elbow. 

 

If you hire her, you’ll partner with an editor who has skills and wisdom for how to make a project sing and empowers you to keep it going as you best see fit.
