Magazines
Maggie's first magazine article appeared in Madison Magazine in January 2007 and she has written monthly for Madison Magazine ever since. Her Madison Magazine cover stories and features have run the gamut from primate research and domestic violence to Best Places to Work and the governor's polarizing effect on Wisconsin, and she is the author of that magazine's only three 6,000-word features in three decades. By 2008 she'd also earned two International Regional Magazine awards for features in Wisconsin Trails magazine, and in 2009 she began working as a travel scout and writer for Midwest Living magazine. Her work has also appeared or is scheduled to appear in Delta Sky, Milwaukee Magazine, Grow magazine, Country Business Magazine, On Wisconsin magazine and Wisconsin Bride magazine. 		Newspapers
From 2006–2007 Maggie penned 2-3 features per week as a staff writer for the Mt. Horeb Mail newspaper, earning a 2007 Wisconsin Newspaper Association award for her profile on U.S.S. Indianapolis survivor Florian Stamm. In 2009 she began writing features for Isthmus, a Madison, Wisconsin alt-weekly print stronghold. Her Isthmus cover stories include profiles on Urban League president Kaleem Caire, child abuse agency Safe Harbor, cyberbullying in Dane County, Presbyterian minister Scott Anderson, HIV/AIDS activist Heidi Nass, the UW Center for Patient Partnerships, worker-owned cooperatives, and women's sexual health.

A full-time print journalist since early 2006, Maggie's work has appeared or is scheduled to appear in numerous Midwest and Wisconsin-based magazines and newspapers including Madison Magazine, Midwest Living magazine, Milwaukee Magazine, Isthmus, Wisconsin Trails, Wisconsin Bride, Grow magazine, and On Wisconsin. She is the co-author of a State Department of Commerce-commissioned coffee table book called Wisconsin: A Tradition of Innovation and serves as a Wisconsin travel scout for Midwest Living magazine. Her Wisconsin-centric profiles and features have landed her several awards, including two International Regional Magazine awards and a Wisconsin Newspaper Association award. She really does think there's no place like home. 		Archives Search
