ORGANIZE YOUR WRITING.

Leave behind:

Plot holes, messy outlines, and getting stuck halfway through your novel.

And welcome in a well-structured story, personalized guidance, and the confidence that you WILL finish your book.

**Hi, I’m Megan — I’ve developed a step-by-step system for outlining a novel, so you can focus on finishing your story without getting stuck.**

As a writer myself, I’ve put together a roadmap for you to organize your story ideas and create an outline that is complete and comprehensive.

With a clear plan, you're less likely to give up or stay stuck for years. Outlining will be easier, and writing will flow more smoothly.

Chris M.

"As a nervous novice writer with just a story in my head, I reached out to Megan after watching some of her YouTube videos. I appreciated how she was able to deconstruct things into small bites so that even I could understand the concept and she seemed friendly. It was nice to find out that the personality in the YouTube videos was the same personality on my video call.

After just my first conversation, I became a motivated novice writer with direction! Her patience and, in my case, empathy, are a gift, and I couldn’t recommend working with Megan more strongly."

Robert T.

"The Novel Wayfinder Program is well-named. I'd lost my way and now I'm back on the path toward finishing my first novel. I've found my way. I know my route. I can confidently take my next steps.

It's easy to fall into a go-it-alone mentality as a writer. At a certain point, maybe you go it alone, sure. But Megan is a wonderful cartography assistant at the beginning stages. Make your map with her."

Asif M.

"Megan is a beautiful anomaly of life who is wise beyond her years and has the ability to see different perspectives and possibilities to strengthen a story without compromising its intent or integrity.

I engaged her services as a developmental editor and was impressed at the level of detail, contextual understanding and recommendations, and overall diligence of her work."

Rhea F.

"I had such a great experience with the Novel Wayfinder Program, and Megan helped build my confidence in so many aspects of story crafting. I was very tentative at first and didn’t have a ton of confidence despite how much of the story was already formed in my mind. At the end, I felt so confident in not only moving forward on my own with my first story but also in potential future stories as well.

I’d recommend it to anyone looking to develop these skills on the side, even just for personal use."

Zeke W.

"Megan’s encouragement coupled with her hands-on guidance throughout an easy-to-follow, structured approach to outline creation brought my story back to life for me. This story is deeply important to me and close to my heart, and I am extraordinarily grateful to Megan for all she has done to help me bring it to life."

Tori W.

"I’d recommend Megan Maclaine as an incredible person as well as a fantastic teacher. I had a 1:1 session with Megan, and I was blown away by both her sincerity and professionalism.

Megan gave fantastic advice and validated my personal experience with my writing process. As someone who does not have the best reference point with formal writing, this was an immense relief off of my shoulders. I have so much respect for Megan, both as a writer and for what she does for the writing community as a whole. I am grateful for her assistance, and I highly suggest if anyone needs counsel, to seek Megan out and take advantage of the fantastic services she offers."

Ben V.

"I had a terrific experience with Megan and the Novel Wayfinder Program. I had the pieces to write, but I just couldn’t put them together. Megan’s explanation and tutoring created a structure so I could ingest the learning and eventually see the big picture.

I cannot recommend this program enough for beginning novel writers as well as a refresher for seasoned authors."

Craig F.

"Writing a novel is VERY new to me. I still have a lot of growing to do, but the Novel Wayfinder Program was an indispensable first step. Throughout, I thought to myself, ‘There’s no way I’m gonna have a full outline by the end of this.’ I couldn’t have been happier to be so wrong.

If you want to write a novel, I’ve got the person for you. Megan helped me get my outline done for my first novel. She’s super attentive and knows her stuff. I’d recommend it 100% because it helped me so much."

Grant J.

"It feels so obvious in hindsight, but the power of having some support in this creative journey is insanely underrated. I would recommend the Novel Wayfinder Program to any writer. It helped me feel confident in myself as an artist again, it pushed me to believe in my project, and it got me out of a years’ long rut.”
