I’m Mea Brown — Author & Founder.
I lead two creative companies—Shadow Scribe Media and Strategic House—where I help authors, leaders, and mission-driven organizations turn ideas, stories, and expertise into books, messages, and strategies that actually fit who they are and where they’re going.
Whether you’re writing a book, clarifying your voice, or developing the strategic and marketing foundation your business needs to grow, I’m here to bring structure, clarity, and intentional support to your next chapter.
Thinks like a strategist.
Moves like a storyteller.
Creates like an artist.
I’m Mea Brown—Author & Founder of Shadow Scribe Media and Strategic House. My work is centered on helping people shape ideas into finished, meaningful work. The books, messages, strategies, and systems that actually move their life or business forward.
For more than a decade, I’ve partnered with authors, entrepreneurs, and organizational leaders to build the things they couldn’t build alone: books that make an impact, manuscripts that finally make sense, brand messaging that resonates, websites that convert, strategic plans that work, and marketing that connects.
I don’t just help you think about your work, I help you produce it. The chapters, the structure, the narrative arc, the website copy, the marketing plans, the content systems, the pieces that make the whole thing stronger. That’s the work I’m known for.
Before launching my companies, I spent years helping entrepreneurs and business owners refine, write, build, and communicate the work that mattered most. Those experiences shaped the foundation of Shadow Scribe Media and Strategic House, two companies built to support authors, leaders, and mission-driven organizations who want their work to be cohesive, compelling, and built with intention.
I live in Arizona, where the desert keeps me grounded, the coffee and wine run strong, and my poodles, Mateo and Carly, are never more than a few steps away. I love deep conversation, easy laughter, and honest work that changes people from the inside out.
My books—Disrupt Your Default and Write That Book Already—begin that work. They help you stop waiting, start building, and move with clarity, courage, and intention.
If you feel a book inside you, you’re not imagining it.
And you don’t have to bring it into the world alone.

For Strategy & Marketing
Your business is growing, evolving, or stepping into a new season — and it deserves a message, strategy, and presence that reflect the level you’re operating at now.
That’s where I come in.
I help founders, personal brands, and creative entrepreneurs build the strategic, structural, and messaging foundation that strengthens their business and supports their next chapter.
I guide clients through the essential work that elevates their brand from the inside out:
defining what you do and who you serve
sharpening your message and brand voice
refining your offers and positioning
developing a clear strategic roadmap
rebuilding your website and digital presence
creating a voice-driven content strategy
strengthening how your business communicates — consistently and confidently
Whether you’re refreshing your brand, repositioning your business, or refining the marketing foundation that supports your growth, you don’t have to do it on your own.
If your business is ready for a stronger, clearer, more aligned direction, I’d love to help you build it.
For Authors
You’ve carried this book for a long time.
Maybe it’s a story from your life.
Maybe it’s a message your work has taught you.
Maybe it’s the thing you know you’re here to say.
But turning that calling into a compelling manuscript? That’s where many women get stuck.
I help you get clear, build the structure, shape the narrative, and write with purpose, so the book in your heart becomes a book you’re proud to publish.
I guide women through the entire writing journey:
finding the story
clarifying the message
building the structure
writing with intentionality
elevating the craft
finishing the manuscript
polishing it into something powerful
Whether you’re starting from scratch or revising a messy draft, you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re ready to talk about your book, or you’re not sure where to start, I’d love to hear your story.
There are several ways to work with me, but Book Coaching is my primary service.
Book coaching is a collaborative, guided writing partnership for women ready to take the story inside them and craft it into a meaningful book.
