I’m so glad you’re here.

I am passionate about creating a space where people can explore their deepest parts and share their discoveries with others clearly and effectively. I am in continued awe at how words can help us make sense of our surroundings and our internal ecosystems.

I value integrity, joy, presence, and connection, and am here to serve you in your journey of expression.

Are you ready to put words to the story or message that is inside of you?

Testimonials

  • "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."

    Terese Elhard, The Mild Wild

  • "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."

    Jennifer Ott, My Thyme Gardens

  • "Meredith is a master wordsmith with an eye for the most important details. I was able to work with them to upgrade my website and make it more professional. They intentionally explored not only the way my website looked grammatically, but they also helped me build better awareness about how my blogs and storytelling could speak more fully to my audience. They are unabashedly kind, playful in conversation, and wicked smart in how they get down to editing. Working with words is now fun and engaging, and I have Mer to thank for that!"

    Brittany Whittern, Savage Skye Designs

  • "If you are looking for someone to edit your written work, Meredith has you covered. I have found that using Word Up has elevated my writing process so that I can connect with my audience more effectively. Not only do I need someone to watch out for grammar and punctuation errors, but I also need to be coached on content from time to time. Thank you, Meredith!"

    Gail Kloosterman, Next Ingredient

  • "Meredith has helped me on my journey of creating two books that I've been wanting to write. Having a coach helped me get ideas out on paper and make it all flow properly. I feel that without Meredith's help, I would still be working to complete these projects."

    C.O., Michigan Author

  • "Meredith has been editing our magazine for the last year. They captured not only my voice but the voice of my contributors and the whole tone of our magazine. We are grateful to have them."
