Hello, I'm Meg H.

I have a bachelor’s degree in communications from the University of Washington​,​ where I focused on newspaper writing and public relations. I have a master’s degree in journalism (emphasis on magazine editorial) from the University of Oregon. I honed my skills as an intern at mega-branding firm Publicis and at W magazine before securing an editorial job at InStyle magazine in New York City. From the main publication​,​ I moved to the brand’s website​,​ where I covered beauty​,​ fashion and home. Since 2010​,​ I have worked as a freelance writer and editor​,​ covering health and wellness​,​ beauty​,​ fashion​,​ parenting​,​ food and drinks​,​ travel​,​ home​,​ celebrities and automotive. My work has featured in The Hollywood Reporter​,​ HuffPost​,​ The Zoe Report​,​ Billboard​,​ iVillage (now today.com)​,​ AutoTrader​,​ Glam​,​ as well as international publications in Australia and New Zealand. I have also done marketing copy for beauty and fashion brands​,​ as well as PR writing for well-known food and beverage brands. My CV also includes book editing and corporate material. How am I with deadlines and grammar​,​ you ask? In a word: Fastidious. I’m a stickler for both. I have honed my SEO best practices through years of writing SEO-friendly content. I have completed a course in nutrition​,​ though I have no desire to practice in the field; I’m simply passionate about balanced​,​ joyful living and writing about it​,​ of course.
