maggie harris, WRITER

That little bobblehead there is me! (Donut girl on the other pages is my alter ego.)

In a previous life, I worked as an account manager for brands like Nokia and Lindt (yep, the chocolate makers). Although my roles involved training and sales, I would often have colleagues come to me for help with writing marketing material or training documents. 

I’d always wanted to be a writer — I even studied creative writing and marketing at university — and aside from that one primary school teacher who gave me a C-minus in handwriting, most people I know aren’t surprised I went on to become one. It was just a matter of time. (Thankfully, I rarely have to use a pen and paper these days. I never got my pen license!) 

I started off my official writing career with a travel blog that turned into a memoir published way back in 2016. That little book was the impetus to finally leave my job and pursue freelance writing full-time. Since that day, I’ve collaborated with clients globally — from the UK to the USA, Canada to Australia — to redefine content creation. I know everyone says it, but writing truly is my passion and there’s nothing I’d rather be doing. You can catch me tapping away at my Substack newsletter or cackling to myself as I use all the swear words on Medium.
