About Me, Maggie


I'm a magazine writer and editor in Philadelphia. I write about art, style, books, music, bodies in motion, salty food and other things I love. My work has been published in the New York TimesNew York Magazine & The Cut, The Washington Post,  the Los Angeles TimesBon Appetit, & lots of other places. 

I also work as a copywriter. I've done projects for a variety of companies, including MasterClass, Google, & some other secret ones. 

Finally, wildly, I also run Purse Book, a newsletter about reading hot little books & being a gal on the go.

As a copywriter, I've created work for companies like MasterClass, Google, & some other secret ones that I can tell you about if you're curious.

I scout & vet books for Book of the Month.

I also edit both fiction & non-fiction; I’ve also ghost-written for at least two musicians you probably love.

So, if you’re an avant-rock musician—or someone else with an interesting project—you can reach out

& the rest.


I help with communication (and sundry other stuff) for two mutual aid groups. If you’re interested in working with us, let me know
