Megan B. Wyatt
On any given day Megan can be found animating a story while inserting ten not-so-relevant substories in too much detail among friends or family patiently saying "Just get to the point already!" Writing lured her in when she realized she could write, edit, then share.
Megan has been interviewed by Suite101's associate editor Lima Al-Azzeh for the "In the Spotlight" feature. Read her interview to find out more about her writing and editing career and what it feels like when the editor is edited.
Who is Megan Wyatt?
Megan is a person who sees the world in terms of its people and possibilities. As such, she is constantly searching and learning about her surroundings. She loves to cozy up in a coffee shop and people watch or discover a stranger's life story while traveling.
If somebody asks a question, she is the first to answer or find the answer. Curiosity about life and its complexities keeps her busy living many different lives from that of a dancer and concert-lover to that of a book editor and novelist.
