What Megan Wants to Read
I’m always looking for genre work that feels fresh, inventive, and makes the prose take flight. I especially love lyric essays and lists. Make me laugh, make me weep, then take me out to dinner and tell me I’m pretty. As a CNF-er myself, I recommend reading this craft essay to get a stronger sense of the kind of work that captures my attention!
