MEG KENAGY

Copywriting • Content Development • Creative Storytelling

I write about bits and bytes, bats and birds, business entrepreneurs and balance sheets in the belief that whether you are doing software implementation or habitat conservation, you connect with your readers through story.

A freelance writer, author, and essayist, I live in Oregon, a state with plenty of wild places, offering mountains to climb and trails to hike. I am a mother, a sister of six sisters, an amateur painter, a letter writer, and a collector of postcards, stamps, seashells, and boarding passes.

The House on School Street, a blend of memoir and biography, is my first book. I am always at work on something new.
