She co-wrote the film The Twits for Netflix, and she wrote and directed the short films Hot Dog Steering Wheel (2021), The Ladder (documentary, 2025), and The Last Cheap House (horror, 2025). Meg has also written on features and series for Hulu, Netflix, Warner Brothers, Mattel, and Hasbro, among others; and she was one of four writers selected for the 2017 Screenwriters Colony Episodic Lab, a screenwriting retreat in a rambling Nantucket farmhouse that may or may not be haunted.

Meg’s humor, fiction, and essays have appeared in publications including The New Yorker, The Massachusetts Review, Real Simple, Eating Well, X-R-A-Y Lit Mag, The American Bystander, McSweeney’s, and 45th Parallel. She also has a background in food and weird history writing, and her cookbook, Little Old Lady Recipes: Comfort Food and Kitchen Table Wisdom, was published in 2011 by Quirk Books.

Originally from the birch-fingered clutches of northern New Hampshire, Meg grew up in a town so small that the only place to hang out was the town dump.
