Margaret has been writing all her life—from school assignments, to business memos, to website content, marketing brochures, and most recently to Middle Grade fiction. She taught college marketing and writing-for-business courses, before working a few years at a startup multimedia company. Her first story, a holiday chapter book, received honorable mention in an unpublished manuscript competition. She is now seeking representation to sell her debut Middle Grade fantasy novel, while working on her next book. She says, “I can’t make you a writer—that’s something you have to do yourself. But writers help writers, and I can help you on your journey.”
