I am a writer as well as an editor. My first love is fiction, but I’m also a poet (see my poetry listing in the Poets & Writers directory), I enjoy writing nonfiction, and I’m an aspiring picture book author. I’m usually published under the name Megan Stolz (occasionally Megan Rogers). My publications, along with links if available, are listed below.
