Megan Lally

Megan is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling young adult author and has been professionally editing and book coaching since 2015. She’s worked for several freelance editing and book coaching companies, with projects ranging from adult high fantasy space novels, to YA contemporaries about Shakespeare camp— and everything in between. Several of her clients have gone on to find agents and get book deals of their own.

She specializes in all things young adult, middle grade, and adult romance, and loves celebrating wins with her clients!

Specialties: Brainstorming and plot snags. Romance arcs.

“I’m a brainstorming ninja. I can demolish even the toughest of plot holes with a quick back and forth phone call and come up with so many options to navigate your way out of a tricky chapter. Same goes for romantic arcs. If you have some insta-love going on and your characters just aren’t connecting for real and you don’t know how to fix it, I’m more than ready to help. I love a good love story and I’m so ready to help you put yours together so the story matches the feelings you have in mind for your characters."

Favorite genres to edit:

Anything young adult. Especially thrillers, horror, fantasy, and contemporary with first love arcs.

Anything middle grade. Especially the spooky stuff.

Adult romance. Especially romcoms, and Regency/Victorian romance!

What she’d like to see more of: “I’d love a couple more RomCom projects, or an amazing ghost story would be super fun. I’m also a big fan of vampires, both in YA and adult fiction.”
