After losing her partner, Chad, to an incurable blood cancer, Megan finds his diaries and discovers his wish for her to turn his diary into a book. After starting on this journey, when the time came for publishing, the publishing agencies timeline didn't work for her.  Megan used the route of self publishing which ultimately led her to become the CEO of The Self Publishing Agency. 

Megan Williams is the founder and CEO of the Vancouver-based publishing company. She has been featured in Forbes and Variety Magazine for her expertise in the indie publishing world and more recently -  adapting books into film. Megan is an award-winning author herself for her memoir, Our Interrupted Fairy Tale, and has published two children's books with her step-daughter, Madison. She also has a 1.5 year old who by all accounts seems to love meeting people, reading new books, and running outside as much as her mom does.
