Zavala from front page
looked for digs a bit closer to where the
jobs were to lessen the crummy L.A. commute.
Mike suggested that they explore
finding a place in El Segundo. Megan, being
the East-coaster, did not know much about
El Segundo, other than it was the home
of the Mattel headquarters and was located south
of LAX. She remembers thinking: “Why would
we move by the airport? I don’t understand?”
Zavala has not regretted relocating to El
Segundo, a city she calls “a magical place,
a hidden gem,” where their family has added
two young children to the mix. “We love it
here so much.”
Throughout her career, Zavala has worked
for and with many creative and talented people,
including top literary agent Wendy Keller,
Keller, who Zavala cites as her publishing
mentor and former boss in the literary agent
world, emailed that “Sometimes, you meet
someone in one context, and it burgeons into
a friendship. When Megan and I first started
working together in my office in Marina del Rey,
I could tell right away that she was unusually
smart and easy to get along with. What I did not
expect was for her to become someone I care
about so much! Over pizza “staff lunches” –
with just the two of us – we got to know one
another, and I heard about her romance with
Mike, the man who is now her husband. I even
got invited to the wedding! When she was
pregnant with her first child, we would laugh
that we were planning to set up a bassinette in
our small office so that we could tend the baby
and still work side by side. We have kept up
our friendship and a new iteration of our work
together all these years. I consider Megan an
incredibly dear, kind-hearted, competent and
intelligent woman.”
“When Megan came to work with me, she
was already knowledgeable about screenplays
and books. She had a broad interest in the
publishing industry. My company specializes
in selling only nonfiction books, usually to
major US publishers – Simon and Schuster,
HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, etc.
This was a different part of the business than
Megan had worked in before. Her adaptation
was incredibly quick! She not only completed
the things mandated by her job, but rapidly
understood how those tasks connected to the
whole and began filling in gaps I didn’t even
know were there!”
Zavala has developed a stable of satisfied
clients over the past few years.
Rob Sullivan is one of Zavala’s editorial/
coaching clients. When he was casting about,
searching for someone to help with his
manuscript, he found Zavala. “I always trust
my intuition,” Sullivan said. “There is something
about her; I wanted to work with her.” Zavala
helped Sullivan put together his manuscript
proposal. He noted two facets of Zavala’s work
that stand out. “She (was) very honest,” he said
when she evaluated his manuscript proposal,
as well as edit the manuscript.
“The thing that I love about her the most is
how open she was and helping me to add other
people’s stories to my book,” which, Sullivan
said, was able to give validity to some of his
book chapters.
Another Zavala client, Joel B., has worked
with Zavala for four years. “I worked with
Megan on a book I wrote about digital marketing,”
he emailed. “I developed a work plan and
had Megan review each chapter and provide
feedback along the way. She also conducted a
full review of the manuscript before I submitted
it to my publisher. She was a pleasure to
work with, highly knowledgeable, and able to
learn the new subject matter very quickly. It
was a great experience.”
Zavala said that Ben Larracey is another
of her editorial/coaching clients and has been
familiar with her work “from my very early
entertainment industry days.” Emailed Larracey:
“I first met Megan in 2006 when we were both
interns at Kopelson Entertainment.
“Meg and I read and wrote coverage on
screenplays that came in. This company had
walls of scripts that needed to be read—like
thousands. So, we would read scripts and see
if it (they were) right for the company.
“Meg knows scripts and stories inside out:
the beats, character movements, overall plot.
She is great at it. Probably seen a million
movies and read even more books.”
Anjanette Fennell is also a Zavala client,
as well as a fellow book coach editor. “Over
the years,” Fennell emailed, “she has helped
as a trusted friend and colleague in what can
sometimes feel like a crazy industry (publishing).
As an independent agent and coach, I can
often feel alone in business, and it is our regular
chats about life and all things literary that help
me get clarity and connection. Of course, she
has also become the first person I think of
when wanting an insightful, considered and
thorough editor.”
Not surprisingly, when Zavala is not getting
paid to read, she enjoys reading for
pleasure, especially mysteries and thrillers,
and said that she regards the novel Prince
of Tides written by Pat Conroy as her
favorite book. Zavala’s other favorite authors
include James Ellroy, Jane Harper, and
Tana French.
An avid film buff, Zavala, like many of the
rest of us, is looking forward to the time when
she can enjoy the full movie-going experience
in theatres again. She cited the Harrison Ford
vehicle The Fugitive as well as the brilliant
1976 dark, satirical comedy-drama Network,
written by Paddy Chayefsky, as two of her
all-time favorite films.
Zavala said that the best part of her job is
“getting to read for a living, and helping people
achieve their dreams.” On the flip side, Zavala
says it can sometimes be challenging when a
client “doesn’t take my advice” while moving
through the writing and publishing process,
even though the client has presumably hired
Zavala to tap into her literary expertise.
All in all, no complaints, Zavala said. “I can
live in a world of books for fun and work…I
am so grateful!”
To steal a phrase from an old Frank Sinatra
ditty, circa 1937, composed by George Gershwin,
“nice work if you can get it, and you
can get it, if you try.” •
