Writers are drawn to workshops with Margaret for her expertise in the twin crafts of storytelling and information design. From the start, participants work with practical techniques to shape their expertise into nonfiction that’s both compelling to readers and appealing to publishers.

With decades of experience coaching authors and evaluating book proposals with publishers like Wiley, Manning, and The Pragmatic Programmers, Margaret brings an insider’s understanding of what makes an idea stand out in a crowded marketplace. Her workshops guide writers through key milestones like defining an audience, structuring content, and presenting ideas with clarity and confidence.

Participants leave with sharper narratives, stronger proposals, and the tools to move their writing projects forward.

When she’s not working with writers, Margaret can be found outdoors, volunteering, baking, or getting lost in a good dystopian novel.
