About Me

Margo L. Dill is a professional writer, editor, instructor, speaker, and writing coach. She has a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in elementary education. She is the owner of Editor-911 Books. 

Margo has 4 books published for children and teens, and countless articles, newspaper columns, and blog posts published. For WOW! Women On Writing, she is the managing editor, which means she works with writers and the executive editor to create each issue while also editing articles and columns. She helps judge and critique flash fiction stories and personal essays for the popular WOW! quarterly writing contests, and teaches online writing and marketing courses. 

Besides WOW!, she runs her own editing, publishing, and marketing business, Editor 911, and has a full-time "day job" as a writer and project manager for a B2B Marketing Agency. She lives in St. Louis, MO, with her daughter and Sudsi, a lab mix dog born on 1/30/2019--or so. 

I am passionate about so many things--and that's why my work doesn't seem to follow any one path or brand. But honestly, if you look closely at the themes in my books and on my blog, you will see that I do have a message that comes out in all my writing, speaking, and teaching: 

BE UNIQUE! 

BE STRONG! 

BE YOURSELF!

Each of my books has a female protagonist who is just outside the norm and trying to work through insecurities and "life" to be who she is. Yes, even Maggie Mae, my detective character--in a light-hearted way--has to show her family that she is indeed a detective and can solve mysteries. 

I would love for you to take some time to check out my blog, too, where I attempt to be honest and sincere about subjects important to us all--parenting, self-esteem, health, setting boundaries, and more--sometimes with a touch of humor and sometimes with gut-wrenching honesty.  

I'm somewhat active on Instagram and Facebook, and I would love for you to join me there. I'm also on LinkedIn--love to connect on that site. My socials are on the top of this page.
