Course textbook
Trigonometry
Four units, from right triangles to trig equations, with eight games and a deck for every lesson.
Taking new projectsInstructional design and technical writing, remote from Boston
Manuals, guides, and custom tools, written and built from start to finish.
I write onboarding guides, training manuals, and step-by-step instructions that people can follow on the first read. I also build custom tools for work a team does by hand. My seven free books show how I work: I turn research on how people learn into clear steps and examples written for the reader, and design help that shows up right where readers tend to get stuck.

What I can build for you
- Onboarding guides and training manualsA new hire’s first weeks, a workshop, or a volunteer program in one guide, with a print-ready workbook and an answer key.

- Certification and study guidesPractice with hints that build one step at a time, plus an answer key for whoever runs the session.
- Course textbooksFull courses with lessons, practice, hints, and worked solutions, in math or another subject.
- Slides and training decksDecks that walk a room through the material in order, each ending with a check for understanding.
- WebsitesA fast website for a practice, a shop, or a nonprofit.
- Brand systemsA brand book, logos, templates, and ready-to-paste copy that a team can use on day one.
Every guide includes a print menu with choices for every reader, and a read-aloud button that highlights each passage and speaks every math expression.

Client work
I built both the website and the tools for Ask the Turtle, my husband’s fundraising consultancy in Boston. The site credits the work in its footer: “Site and Tools by Megan Warren.”
Featured work
One example of each service, all live. The full galleries are on the service pages.
Custom tools
Three fundraising calculators
A gift range chart, an ask-amount suggester, and a calculator for donor retention and ROI, on Ask the Turtle’s site with no sign-up.
Canvas course pages

Built for Canvas from the Trigonometry book and its slides. Open it as students would.
Brand system
A complete brand kit
Hello Paint’s brand book, 140 downloadable assets, social templates, looping animations, and every word of shop copy.

How a project runs
- Tell me what you need.The subject, who will read it, and roughly how long. An outline is plenty.
- Get a fixed price and a date.Quoted by scope, before any work starts.
- Research comes first.I study your readers and your field, and I look up anything I’m not sure of.
- Get the finished work.You own the files and the source code.
- Keep it current.I can show your team how to update it, or handle the upkeep and updates myself whenever you need them.
Questions clients ask
- Does it only work for math?
- No. Math is one of the hardest subjects to typeset, so it makes a good test. Onboarding guides, study guides, and training manuals are built the same way.
- Is this a course platform?
- No. Each guide is a file you own outright, with no subscription, no login, and nothing to renew. Canvas pages live in your Canvas; everything else is a file you own.
- Couldn’t I just build this with AI?
- The work is knowing what to check. Every update to my Trigonometry book passes 85 automated checks before it goes live, including a computer re-solve of 906 answers. AI can get you a draft, and I use it in my own work. What I add is the checking.
- Who writes it?
- Either of us. Bring finished content and I’ll build it, or bring an outline and I’ll write it too.
Work with me
I taught teenagers for more than twelve years. That meant daily troubleshooting with learners of every kind: finding where each one got stuck and working through the frustration until the math made sense. Now I do instructional design and technical writing from Boston, taking paid remote work for companies, nonprofits, small businesses, publishers, and schools. You work with me directly, from the first message to the finished files.
