She was also selected as a finalist in the 2008 and 2009 Musician's Atlas/Borders Books Independent Music Awards, selected as a semi-finalist in Discmaker's 2007 Independent Music World Series and the 2007 International Songwriting Competition.

Megan and her music have appeared on TLC's "What Not To Wear", which generated purchases by TV viewers that placed her CD "Freaky Little Story" on the #5 spot on Amazon.com CD sales charts and on the Top-10 Rock Bestseller list on CDBaby.com. Because of the episode's popularity, the show's producers featured her in a follow-up episode a year later, bringing "Freaky Little Story" and her third release, "A Little Extra Sun" back into the Top-10.

In addition to TV, Megan's music has also been featured on San Francisco AAA station KFOG's compilation CD. She has been featured in Rockgrl Magazine, Owl Magazine, The Synthesis, Fresh Tracks and Women In Rock, in addition to Acoustic Guitar magazine – whose editors named "Freaky Little Story" one of their top albums of 2005. She was a final selection artist for RPM Direct Presents: Unsigned Artists Volume 3 compilation CD; an A&R Online featured artist; a Song and Film Spotlight artist; and, an Acoustic Cafe featured artist on the "One to Watch" syndicated radio program (sponsored by the USA Songwriting Competition). Slankard also co-wrote and performed on the title track of Dire Straits founding member David Knopfler's new record, "Ship of Dreams".

Megan has also showcased in Boston (NEMO) and Toronto (NXNE), toured three times as support for David Knopfler through Germany and England, and performed at the international festival InGuitar in Zurich (Switzerland). She will resume touring after the completion of the new CD.
