Author Talks
I love connecting with readers through lively, honest conversations. My author talks are open, engaging sessions where curiosity meets compassion — a chance to explore SPLIT, my lived experience with Dissociative Identity Disorder, and how storytelling can be a bridge to understanding and empathy. These talks spark meaningful dialogue about identity, resilience, and mental health, helping to break down stigma one conversation at a time. Large groups or small, conferences, festivals or book clubs ... there is always room for meaningful dialogue around changing perspectives around complex mental health and trauma.
​
​Workshops
My writing workshops are designed to inspire and empower. Each session blends hands-on exercises, creative exchange, and practical tools that encourage writers to delve deep, find their voice, and strengthen their craft. From exploring the power of memoir to shaping compelling fiction, every workshop is tailored to the needs of your group.
​
Participants often say they leave feeling energised, challenged, and more confident in their writing — and that my natural, down-to-earth teaching style makes even complex ideas accessible. Whether you’re a community group, writing organisation, or organising a creative retreat, I can tailor a workshop to suit your goals and participants.
Author Support
Publishing independently can be both exciting and overwhelming — I know! Whether you’re polishing your first book or preparing your next release, I offer practical support to help you present your work at its best.
​
Book Formatting
Internal formatting can be the bane of an author’s existence when all you really want to do is write. I can take care of the layout for you — from title page to back matter — so your manuscript looks clean, professional, and ready for print or digital release.
Each project is unique, so get in touch to complete a quick questionnaire and receive a personalised, affordable quote.
For the Medical Community
I provide workshops and facilitated discussions on Dissociative Identity Disorder (formerly MPD), offering an inside perspective through my memoir SPLIT. These sessions are designed for psychologists, therapists, and front-line professionals who want to deepen their understanding of the lived experience behind the diagnosis.
​
I share my story with openness and clarity, creating space for meaningful, practical conversations about how a DID system functions. The goal is simple: to bridge the gap between clinical understanding and lived experience—and to offer real-world insight into one of the most complex areas of mental health.
​
Workshops are priced according to length and include an ePub copy of SPLIT.

“Looking through the literature on DID, while informative, can’t fully prepare you for the complexities of this condition. Maggie’s ability to warmly and intelligently discuss her lived experience offers unique and invaluable insights into the development, structures, and challenges of living and working with DID.”
— Matt Wagner, Clinical Psychologist
