About Meghan

After an eclectic career writing for MPs, senators, CEOs and Olympians, lockdown afforded me the opportunity to pursue my passion for screenwriting... at last.

My first screenplay, a pilot for a series about Eleanor of Aquitaine called A Lady Among Lions, is under development with a production company in the UK. My second script, METTLE, is an inspiring feature about Scottish hero Roger Cruickshank - an Olympian turned decorated RAF fighter pilot who has overcome extraordinary obstacles. I have completed a dramedy feature with a writing partner and am working on another with a partner that is based on her true life experience dating an international spy. I love biopics (particularly historical) and based-on-true-story films.
