META WAGNER is passionate about helping people reach their creative potential.
She is the author of What's Your Creative Type?: Harness the Power of Your Artistic Personality (Seal/Hachette). She gave a Tedx talk on her original model of The 5 Creative Types and is a sought-after speaker on how the power of creativity and a deepened understanding of creative motivations can transform organizations, teams, and individuals.
She developed and continues to teach a “cult favorite” seminar on creativity (the springboard for her book) at Emerson College and taught creative non-fiction and communications writing at Emerson, BU, and Grub Street for over two decades. And now she’s offering her own creative non-fiction writing workshops and coaching.
Her “Page Fright” Substack newsletter is a deep dive into the damaging thoughts, anxieties, neuroses, and beliefs that afflict so many writers and keep them from being as productive, successful, and joyful as they could be. Meta’s on a mission to free writers, one fear at a time!
Meta is also an occasional contributor to Boston Globe opinion pages, was a columnist for PopMatters, and has written on pop culture and creativity for Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune, Salon, Medium, and Wall Street Journal custom studios. She also previously served in executive positions in the marketing and public relations fields and received multiple awards from professional organizations.
Meta lives in the Boston area with her husband, rescue dog Zoey, and son (whenever he drops by).
