Hi, I’m Maggie!

Maggie Mahoney (she/they) is an author, tabletop game designer, and librarian living in the Boston area. A long-time lover of stories of all kinds, she’s more interested in finding the right format for an idea than staying in one lane. Her work sits at the intersection of whimsical, introspective, heartfelt, and strange.

My Upcoming Novel: Enid and the Wildwood Library

I’m currently writing a cozy fantasy novel about a librarian who finds a new sense of purpose at an enchanted library. When the library begins to lose its magic – a situation that parallels her own life a little too closely – Enid must team up with a grumpy wizard with his own agenda and a stone lion who’s life is on the line, to save her new haven. And maybe she’ll even figure out how to save herself in the process.

This is a novel for:

  • anyone who knows how challenging it is to be a helper during hard times
  • anyone who has ever doubted that they have what it takes
  • anyone who has longed for a fresh start
  • recovering people-pleasers
  • anyone who wants their life to be more than just their work
