Nice to meet you! (Unless we've met before. This could get awkward.) Poke around the site for video, podcasts, mp3s - or heck! even read something! - and then say hi using my "Contact Megan" page.

Podcast: Changing my name

Wherein I debate changing my name to a man’s name to help my career.  Here’s a fun drinking game: Do a shot every time you hear me use the word, “insouciant.”

Excerpt:

I’m thinking of changing my name.  There’s been a lot of talk in recent years about women playwrights.  Somebody did a study a while back and discovered that even though women make up half the graduates of playwriting programs across the country, only something like 10 percent of new play productions are going to women playwrights.  Or something like that – I can’t remember the exact numbers, probably because I’m a girl and girls are stupid.
