Maggie specializes in book-to-screen adaptations, transforming high-concept, hooky romance novels into polished, pitch-ready scripts. She has collaborated with Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling authors as well as BookTok sensations, adapting pilots and features across romance subgenres—from sweet small-town stories to steamy romcoms to angsty YA.

With her background as a prolific novelist, Maggie brings a rare dual perspective to the adaptation process. She protects the author’s voice, honors the emotional heart of the book, and understands exactly what makes a story resonate with readers.

Her adaptation of Anne-Marie Meyer’s Christmasland was produced as Believe in Christmas, which premiered on Hallmark in a prime Thanksgiving weekend slot.

She works closely with David Kirkpatrick, former President of Paramount Pictures, and has built a strong network of producers, development executives, and industry partners.

Whether you’re seeking a faithful adaptation, a fresh reimagining, or guidance on how to bring your IP into Hollywood spaces, Maggie offers a collaborative, author-first approach that elevates your story for the screen.
