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

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.
