Greta Morgan is a songwriter, storyteller, creative mentor, and forest dweller. She is the author of The Lost Voice (HarperOne, 2025) and the forthcoming Searching for a Love Song (HarperOne, 2028).
Prior to focusing on prose, Greta built a seventeen year music career — which began when she signed her first record deal in high school — as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist behind The Hush Sound, Springtime Carnivore, and Gold Motel. She was a touring member of Vampire Weekend (2018-2022) and a composed dozens of songs for film and television.
In 2020, she was diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological voice disorder with no known cure, which dramatically diminished her ability to sing. In the years since, she has redirected her creative practice toward writing, teaching, private mentorship, meditation, and connecting with the natural world.
Greta lives in the Catskills of New York, where she can usually be found watching golden leaves float down creeks, shooting archery on writing breaks, weekend-ing in her camper van, and declaring almost every meal to be the best of her life.
She offers longform workshops and private mentorship designed to guide people toward their truest work and most creative lives.
Greta was recently featured in Forbes, The Creative Independent, Talkhouse, No Depression Magazine, Elevated Outdoors, Northern Transmissions, and on TedX’s “How to Be a Better Human podcast.
