Meg Hamill

"Meg worked so well with my students.  She taught me how to draw out my students' feelings and talents through poetry.  She was able to elicit so much from them through their writing.  My overall evaluation of the poet's work in my classroom is outstanding.  Meg's work with my students was so effective.  She challenged my students to step outside their comfort zone and produce wonderful results."

-Mrs. V, High School English Teacher, Santa Rosa

"Megan was a pure joy to work with.  I contracted Megan to help me write a grant proposal for a work in progress.  Not only were her comments on the spot but her revisions tightened up the project description and made it much more readable.  I found Megan extremely fast in her responses, professional in her handling of tricky questions and highly skilled at polishing text to make it shine.  I cannot wait to have another project that would warrant working with Megan again.  Hire this woman, your text will thank you!"

-Ajay Revels, New York-based researcher

"It was truly amazing.  Both the students and myself looked forward to her coming each week.  I loved the way she was able to have the students produce such creative, original work."

-Mrs. B., 4th grade teacher, Santa Rosa

"Ms. Hamill came with a lot of credibility and the students were very impressed, responding most appropriately.  It was the perfect venue for children to express themselves, improve writing skills, and most of all inspire their personal creativity.  Ms. Hamill provided excellent directed activities.  The lessons were very well paced and very appealing and exciting (inspiring) for the children.  OVERALL EVALUATION:  EXCELLENT." 

-Mr. V.  6th grade teacher, Santa Rosa

"I am hopeful that Meg will be able to come back to our classroom. Finding different forms of expression is so vital to students who struggle with ways to express themselves and the world around them.  Meg made the hour feel as if it was flying by. I appreciated her ability to reach my students and give them insight into a world I have found difficult to teach . The style of poetry that she chose allowed students to move beyond sing-song type poetry and delve into an empowering world of self expression."
