My brand is ruin to radiance.

Megan Mong, Writer & Linguist
I’m Megan and I’m a writer.
My brand is Ruin to Radiance. My characters fight to discover joy after devastation.
Two of my short plays were performed at Red Eye Theater events at the Barrow-Civic Theater.
My background blends craft and experience. I hold a Master’s in Applied Linguistics, giving me a forensic understanding of how language moves us. I have traveled to over seventeen countries, listening to the human heart beat through many voices.
My fieldwork documenting the voices of Mennonite women in Pennsylvania is published in a peer-reviewed journal and archived with the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History.
My real life has a Hollywood twist: I exchanged my home to travel overseas just like the lead in the romantic comedy THE HOLIDAY. My husband and I met on day three of my Italian adventure, and we have been together ever since.

You won’t find me on social media. I’m off somewhere quiet, working and writing.
