Maggie Ginsberg is the author of STILL TRUE (University of Wisconsin Press, 2022) and the forthcoming DAISY CHAIN (Blackstone Publishing, 2027). STILL TRUE won the Wisconsin Library Association’s 2023 WLA Literary Award for Fiction, and was the inaugural selection for the 2026 statewide Wisconsin Reads: A Digital Book Club. It was the honorable mention selection for the 2022 Edna Ferber Fiction Book Award, among other honors.

Maggie is also a nonfiction writer and editor who published hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles throughout her career, earning numerous honors from the City Regional Magazine Association, the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the Milwaukee Press Club. In the early 2000s, her work on magazine articles related to intimate partner violence led to the creation of Violence UnSilenced, a nationwide storytelling platform that supported survivors in sharing their experiences in their own voices. The now-retired effort was recognized by numerous media outlets and organizations including a community service award from Domestic Abuse Intervention Services.

Maggie is the former managing editor at Madison Magazine and now works full-time as a writer at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She was born in Minnesota and has lived in Wisconsin since 1985, where she is currently at work on her third novel.
