Megan Crewe is the author of Give Up the Ghost, a young adult paranormal novel about a teen outcast who uses the secrets her ghostly friends dig up to expose her fellow students' deceits, until the popular student council V.P. discovers her secret, and, to her surprise, asks her for help. It was published in September 2009 by Henry Holt Books for Young Readers, and shortlisted for the 2010 Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic.

Her second novel, The Way We Fall, is the first in a young adult post-apocalyptic trilogy about a 16-year-old girl who challenges her fears, finds a second chance at love, and fights to keep her family and friends safe as a deadly new virus devastates her island community. It will be published in January 2012 by Disney-Hyperion.

Megan has worked with children and teens all her life, as a creative writing instructor, tutor, and behavioral therapist for those with special needs.
