About
Megan Ellenberger
In second grade, Megan wrote her first poem (My Cat), first creative nonfiction (Gatorade), and first fiction piece (title unknown, but it was about a mouse). From that point on, her love for writing continued to grow, and her work has been published in several magazines throughout the years, such as Devozine, The Louisville Review, Popshot Quarterly, Daughters of Promise, and others.
Megan’s passion is the inspiring and life-changing power of story, whether it is woven into fiction, non-fiction, or poetry. Stories, and the words that craft them, can plant a seed, awaken a heart, change a life, and impact the world around us.
Megan grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and though she loves to travel to new and well-loved places, that is still where she calls home. She is happy to be a part of Lancaster Christian Writers, where she has found an incredible community of fellow wordsmiths.
Some of Megan’s favorite little things about life are fresh notebooks, Pilot pens, hikes by streams and big rocks, inside jokes and stomach-aching laughter, the love of children (especially her nieces and nephews), a blanket and a good book, meaningful conversation, the sweetness of time spent with Jesus, and so many more, because life is full of goodness.
