About Meg Dunley

Meg Dunley is a writing and creativity coach who has spent years helping writers build sustainable, joyful creative practices. Her belief in the power of play isn't theoretical, it goes back to her mum, a kindergarten teacher who built her entire world around the idea that play is how humans figure things out. Meg has carried that into her own creative life in some deliberately unpolished ways: she took up jazz piano as an adult purely for the joy of it (she never mastered it, and that's the point), and did weekly improv classes mostly so she had a reason to laugh out loud for two hours. She brings that same spirit of low-stakes experimentation to her coaching and to this masterclass.
