Megan HillsMegan first attempted growing up in Adelaide. Then continued to try doing the same in Melbourne, New York, Sydney, and the seaside town of Portsea. In these places she mostly worked in private art galleries, with a stint in a Sydney art magazine publshing house while writing her first novel.Moving to Brisbane, the carpet was pulled out from under her, courtesy of CFS/ME. Mid-fall she was caught by the love of her life. Together they moved into a forest in Cooroy where, during her recovery, she became a freelance copywriter and cartoonist. And worked further on her first novel.Somewhere along the line, they moved to the raw joy that is Darwin. Here Megan worked as a cultural enterprise manager for an Aboriginal organisation and swam occasionally in crocodile infested waters. And worked a bit more on her first novel.Moving to the safer paddling spot of Newcastle, Megan now runs her own creative and cultural consultancy.
