Welcome
About Maddie Heid
My name is Maddie Heid, and I was born and raised in California. I'm an eco-addict, a traveler, and an avid reader. For as long as I can remember, I've loved to read and write. I carried these two passions to the College of Charleston, where I earned my bachelor's degree in communication and a minor in creative writing.
I still live in Charleston where I spend my time surfing, freelance writing, and exploring the culinary scene.
