About Megan J. Wilson
Megan wrote her first play (a modern and irreverent take on the Three Little Pigs) at age 10. She chooses to believe the laughter from the audience was at the jokes, not at the effort.
After fleeing the suburbs of Seattle for the golden promise of acting school in New York City, Megan soon discovered she was in fact, a writer, not an actor. She left NYU to work as a writers assistant for a couple of CBS shows, and then moved to Los Angeles, where she wrote and produced the critically acclaimed six-episode web series The Sanctum, was a finalist in the Jameson First Shot competition, and wrote and directed several short films (Mine, Wolf Peak, Womp & Circumstance, Breaking Upwards, all while churning out screenplays and pilots and holding down a day job as a paralegal.
Megan's The Good Place spec: It's a Wonderful Afterlife, was a Second Rounder at Austin Film Festival (2018). Her one-hour drama pilot, Drop Zone, about a female smokejumper who returns home to Montana to discover her sister has married her high school sweetheart, was a quarterfinalist for Script Pipeline (2018) and a quarterfinalist for the PAGE Award (2019) and has since been optioned. And Megan's comedy feature Don't You Wish was a quarterfinalist for the PAGE Award (2019). Megan has a one-hour television series currently in development with Cicerone Media.
in 2018 she helped found the League of Women Writers, and Megan is also on the board of Chicks with Scripts.
