In this delightful episode of the Made of Savannah podcast, host Dee Daniels sits down with Maxie McCoy, an acclaimed writer and ghostwriter, to discuss her journey to Savannah, the inspirations behind her writing, and her most recent novel, 'Daisy.'

Maxie shares her experiences of moving from San Francisco, discovering the warm and welcoming culture of Savannah, and how an article led her to uncover the fascinating life of Juliette Gordon Lowe. They discuss the depth of Juliette's challenges, the community she built, and how these elements inspired Maxie's writing.

The conversation also delves deep into the emotional and arduous process of writing fiction, facing rejection from major publishing houses, and how Maxie found resilience and purpose by following her passion. She reflects on her love for Savannah's vibrant creative community and her dedication to helping other writers bring their stories to life through ghostwriting.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
