About

I'm Megan Holstein, an AI systems builder with a passion for writing. I design and build custom software and AI automation for businesses, drawing on 15 years across software, entrepreneurship, and marketing.

That passion for writing — three published books and a Medium following of hundreds of thousands of readers — drives the products I build for authors: ReaderBeat, a multi-user SaaS platform where fiction writers collect structured manuscript feedback from beta readers and editors; and Proselon, a writing companion that guides novelists from first idea to finished manuscript.

Earlier, I founded Pufferfish Software, an award-winning startup building iOS apps that help children with special needs build independence, and wrote iPhone App Design for Entrepreneurs with Apress, followed by Work Less, Finish More and Mastering Minimalism. For consulting clients, I've driven 136% lead growth, saved 100+ hours a month, and cut six figures in vendor spend.
