Published Writer

I am an experienced writer and traveler who crafts stories that resonate with readers. Todays travelers are craving authenticity and I provide it. I specialize in travel and human interest stories which pair well together when crafting a destination’s story.

Press Trips

I have an excellent reputation for producing quality content and I usually deliver more than I promise. Invite me to visit your destination. I will then reach out to my clients to pitch your story. Once I have secured assignments we will plan an itinerary that meets the story angles. I like a packed itinerary so I can really learn about your destination. Once I visit I pitch additional stories to my clients. I keep files from all my press trips and just recently wrote an article based on a press trip from two years ago. When you work with me I look at it as a long term partnership.

I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and have a current passport.

her articles are influencing travelers

Marguerite is one of the most thorough and talented travel journalists I’ve worked with. She’s courteous, thorough and very responsive. She really finds what’s at the heart of a destination, and conveys it in a way that readers connect with. I’ve worked with her on press trips, travel stories, social posts, and even on a podcast, and she’s never failed to deliver beyond what I was hoping for. I’ve heard from editors and publishers that she maintains great relationships with her outlets, which translates to better placements and larger, more comprehensive stories. On a functional level, we end up seeing a notable bump in website referral traffic when one of her articles goes live, so we know her articles are influencing travelers.

has excellent outlets for her stories

We love working with Peggy because she is easy to please and appreciative of what we do for her. She delivers on her promises quickly and has excellent outlets for her stories. Our lodging, activity and restaurant members enjoy working with her too because she is enthusiastic and curious. I never hesitate to recommend her to lodging properties. Peggy does her research and creates fun and accurate stories, capturing the spirit of the places she visits. She also always keeps her readers in mind informing them of useful tips to get the most out of a visit to a destination. I highly recommend working with Peggy
