Hi I’m Maggie! ✨
I am a queer, neurodivergent actor, writer, producer, and comedy human based in NYC.
I have also been referred to as a “human emotional support dog.” 🐶
My Newsletter
My newsletter covers what’s currently inspiring me! I love sharing my thoughts on the artistic process, relationships, producing my own work, and mental health.
I also shout out a few shows/events/artistic projects that my friends and collaborators are working on so that you can check them out yourself!
My newsletter provides my readers with insight on creativity and mental health from someone with lived experience who tackles the pitfalls of a creative’s life with sincerity and a big belly laugh. Whenever you think something is too hard for you to do, I give you encouragement and perspective.
I try to post semi monthly (gotta have flexibility for mental illness and life!)
I am accessible and love to hear what topics you might want me to talk about too, so always feel free to leave a comment 🌸
Wanna see if you like my style? Check out my top two posts! I’m not a travel blog but right now my top posts are about when I went to Edinburgh and when I went to Poland. 🤔
Who IS she…?
(AKA My artistic credentials)
My Edinburgh Fringe debut with my show Man Up: A Show for Women received critical acclaim from multiple UK publications in 2024.
I’ve written, performed, and produced 3 solo shows to sold out audiences in NYC.
My credits include Oreo’s online Super Bowl campaign, off broadway, and award nominated short films.
As an actor I’ve trained with experts such as Ted Sluberski, Michael Kostroff, Katie Flahive, Anthony Arkin, and Amelia Campbell and I have a degree in devised theatre making.
I also coach artists’ to create their own solo shows from pre-conception to performance.
Paid Subscription
Choosing to upgrade to a paid subscription is a wonderful way to support my work as an independent artist and tell me that you love what I do! But there is no pressure to do so 😊
We all hope to live in a world in which artists can make a living for their art, and paying for subscriptions like this or any other writer you love is one step closer to that reality.
I also write the occasional paid-only post with even more unfiltered reflections (if you can believe I can get more unfiltered).
As my paid subscribership grows, I hope to have the time to add even more perks and value to paid-only posts and perks but for now my free posts are my main priority.
