"Before I worked with Meredith, I spent months and months struggling to write anything besides paragraphs about how frustrated I was that I couldn’t seem to write about the things I wanted to write about. When I finally signed up for Becoming, I thought what I needed help with was becoming more consistent with a routine, just doing more of it, and that Meredith would be my taskmaster to help me do that. While I did need help with those things, they did it in such a way that felt joyful and helped me remember that I GET to write. I also got so much more: writing prompts tailored to me, encouragement, and help finding my voice, and learning a writing process that is unique to me. They also laughed and cried with me as I discovered so much of myself that I want to write about. The whole experience was invaluable to me as a writer. I have written several pieces that I am so proud of, as a result of working with Meredith, up from zero before working with them. I recommend working with them for anyone who wants to write about anything!"

"I have been working with Meredith of Word Up for over four years. They are absolutely magical with words and taking the raw, rough drafts I give them to create something that so aligns with the messages from my heart. They have a way of listening, questioning to dig a little deeper, and knitting it all together. They make the process seem painless and smooth. They have been able to give my company a voice my clients respond to and connect with. What an absolute gem."

"Meredith is a solid soul who has been steadfast in guiding my writing process. Their follow-through is astounding, their lighthearted tone is reassuring, and their editing skills are a soothing balm for someone like me who is starting to focus on my writing career. I am so grateful for the last six months of working together. I have a lot of material to put forth into the world, thanks to Word Up writing coaching."
