About us
You're about to work with the most amazing people I know.
I'm Megan Mayzelle, Executive Founder at Written Progress. And I adore my team.
I am constantly awestruck that these individuals, each extraordinary in her own right, have collectively chosen to invest their time and trust in me. The combination of their prestigious scientific degrees, self-sacrifice, and commitment to sustainable and just climate solutions humbles me every day.
I'm particularly proud of our grant writing services. We've developed some pretty unique approaches to fit your budget -- including coaching and cancel-anytime subscriptions.
It's apparent that the greatest impact I can have on your work is by ensuring they have everything they need to grow and succeed.

Written Progress is a mission-driven, woman-led social enterprise dedicated to championing climate action.
Today's change-makers are stretched thin. They expertly navigating multiple roles, they lack the time for deep, uninterrupted work. They are also passionate experts who may struggle to take their audience's outside perspective on a complex topic.
This is where we come in. Our team, armed with technical acumen and journalistic prowess, steps into the shoes of your audience to translate your complex concepts into compelling narratives.
The result: winning grant applications -- and other proof-of-work documents -- that earn you the funding and stakeholder buy-in you need to amplify your impacts.
HOW WE PRACTICE SUSTAINABILITY
Written Progress emerged from the desire to be a catalyst for mission-driven businesses.
Just like our clients, we are driven by a powerful mission. We are believers and practitioners of sustainable virtuous cycles.
This philosophy manifests itself in the way we achieve work-life harmony, creating a balance that is both rewarding and sustainable.
Our approach ensures that we both consistently deliver gold-standard work to our clients and continually nourish our own drive to make an impact.
OUR VALUES
SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL IMPACT
We throw our energy behind the teams working to shift paradigms and make the world a better home for all beings.
RELIABLE SYNERGISTIC EXCELLENCE
Our clients are deeply capable experts who know with absolute confidence that we will always honor our word and their work.
EMPATHETIC SELF-DIRECTED COOPERATION
We acknowledge the unique strengths of each member of our team, and we make the choice daily to work together toward great achievements.
For our team
The best of both
We offer topical experts the flexibility of consulting -- without the burdens of managing a business, or waiting for project completion to be compensated.
So she can focus on what she does best.
Sustained health
Self-renewal is critical to consistently delivering gold-standard work.
Our team only works during our personal productive hours. We live where we wish and don't commute. We say no to too much work, ask for help, and prioritize fun and rest.
Shared wealth
Our team is highly trained, highly educated, and mission-driven. They deserve to be well compensated. Every team member earns at least 300% of her country's minimum wage.
Our teammates never have to ask for raises. When revenue rises, so does compensation.
For our clients
Work on equality
A rising tide lifts all boats. For example, quality healthcare and education for all would cut greenhouse gas emissions as much as carbon removal technology. That's why we support initiatives in any vein of social or environmental justice.
Work on climate
Without a life-sustaining climate, there's nothing left to save. That's why we focus heavily on supporting climate initiatives by anyone from international research centers to new startups.
For our planet
Tiny footprints
Our team is fully remote and electronic. That means no commuting, no travel, no office, no inventory, and no trash.
And we support others doing the same: our savings account is invested in organizations working for socially-responsible climate impact.
Living proof
Entrepreneurship is the most powerful form of activism we have.
We support every team member in pursuing work in her area of passion and creating her own next career advancement using our team resources.
