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. 		Wisconsin
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

Made for Getaways: Wisconsin

Made for Getaways

Welcome to Wisconsin, home of down-home supper clubs and award-winning chefs, quaint coastal retreats and rugged Northwoods cabins.

Delta Sky Magazine, October 2012



Excerpt from original source:
With Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest to the north, Lake Michigan to the east, the bluffs of the Mississippi River to the west and rolling prairies of the Driftless Area in the south--plus a spiderweb of fiercely independent communities and vibrant cities--Wisconsin is a lot to explore.

Green Bay Getaway

Green Bay Getaway

Midwest Living Magazine, summer 2012 (with Melanie McManus)

Excerpt from original source:

For legions of Packer fans, Green Bay, Wisconsin, stands as a pilgrimage destination. Lambeau Field is their temple, and the Packers’ owned-by-the-fans identity feeds their faith. Even opposing fans find themselves awed on stadium tours when they walk through the tunnel where the team bursts onto the field. But an off-season visit reveals a different side of this working-class city of 101,000: fantastic restaurants, appealing trails and top-notch attractions for all ages. Whether your blood runs green, gold or just plain red, you’ll come away rooting for Titletown. (888) 867-3342; greenbay.com

Everyone has secrets at Christmas, even the St. Croix River. Spend a winter weekend along its snowy banks, and you'll find a magical mix of holiday bustle and time-honored traditions.

Midwest Living, December 2010



Excerpt from original source:

The Stillwater Lift Bridge crouches in wait across the St. Croix River, a steely sentry to the parade of cars racing between Minnesota and Wisconsin. I used to imagine this bridge as a living beast when I was a kid, holding my breath as we rode through its belly on the way to Grandma's house every Christmas. Though I've since driven it more times than I can count, this crossing feels more like my childhood trips, full of excitement and anticipation. Fresh snow and the electric hum of early December are in the air, and I'm about to finally explore the St. Croix River...
