Writer. Storyteller. Creative Strategist.
Exploring creativity, reinvention, and the stories that shape how we live, work, and grow.
I’m Meggen Harris, and I’ve never fit neatly into a single box.
A longtime Forbes contributor, with work published in Southern Living and The Huffington Post, I’ve spent more than a decade exploring the people, places, and ideas that shape our lives. Today, my work spans journalism, essays, creative strategy, and original storytelling through Quiet Things Studio.
Different disciplines, perhaps. But always the same curiosity about what makes us human.

Stories That Stay With You
From journalism and personal essays to children’s books and imagined worlds, my work has always been rooted in curiosity—about people, the choices we make, the places we call home, and the experiences that shape us.
The medium may change, but the intention remains the same: to tell stories that invite us to look a little closer, question what we think we know, and perhaps recognize something of ourselves along the way.
Stories that make us think. Stories that make us feel. Stories that stay with us.
Curiosity. Connection. Meaning.
Different subjects. Same curiosity.
Whether I’m writing about the changing ways we live, the places we choose to call home, or the complicated business of being human, I’m interested in what lies beneath the obvious.
I believe curiosity is where understanding begins. That good stories should challenge assumptions, invite new perspectives, and occasionally make us reconsider something we thought we knew.
And that, despite our differences, there is far more connecting us than separating us.
