About Us

After three decades of working on stories—writing them, shaping them, producing them—I still get excited when a writer finds her voice. For those writers who work with me, I want to provide a pathway to publication. That’s why I started All Girl Publishing.

Our first project, a cozy mystery called Overdue for Murder, came about because the author, Suzanne Lay and I spent ten years developing the characters and shaping the story. Made for readers who want a little fun with their fiction—who could solve a murder in this quirky Southern town except for the high school librarian who’s “not from around here”?

For the serious writers, we offer the same commitment. Whether you're just getting started or polishing a final draft, we can help you get to the next level—with expert feedback, clear (not complicated) structure, and a path to publication. We cannot accept unsolicited material. We work strictly with writers who have worked with Margaret in one of her courses at Story Summit, or in a one-on-one consultation.

Margaret South is a writer, story coach with a history of getting green lights, best known for Beaches, the beloved and movie about friendship, ambition, and the ties that bind. Her mission now? Helping women write the stories they were born to tell.
