About Maegan

Maegan Blackwell is a Canadian writer, editor, and former teacher living on an island in the Salish Sea. She is the author of Before and After Baby, a picture book about postpartum depression that received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews, and that she wishes had existed when she needed it most.

Maegan speaks to parent groups, healthcare teams, and community organizations about perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), and offers developmental editing and proofreading services to authors at every stage. When she isn’t working on her next book, you’ll find her walking her dogs toward coffee, reading, knitting, or enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest with her family.
