Editorial Consulting

Start-ups, redesigns and other big magazine and book projects are among Margaret’s favorite editorial challenges. She excels at taking publications from big ideas to finished products.

As an editorial consultant, Margaret was part of a team that developed a new line of custom and Quest travel guides for GeoNova (formerly MapQuest Publishing). These include BargainQuest, a guide to 1,465 flea markets in the U.S.

In December 2004, 75 million racing fans were delighted to discover Mobil Travel Guide: NASCAR Travel Planner, an officially-licensed guide to the 30 cities with NASCAR-sanctioned tracks in the U.S. and Mexico. As the former executive editor of Mobil Travel Guide, Margaret developed the 512-page, full-color book in less than five months.

Margaret was editor of the 2006 edition of Chicago SHOPS, Chicago magazine’s annual bible to the city’s best shopping.

She is currently working with a custom publisher to build a social media platform for Award-Winning Destinations, a new bi-annual print and Web magazine, as well as several other projects under development.
