Biography
Maggie Lovitt is the Deputy News Editor at Collider and a lover of all things related to pop culture. In addition to reporting on the latest entertainment news, she is also an actor and member of the Screen Actors Guild based out of the Mid-Atlantic Region. She is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, a member of the Critics Choice Association, Screen Actors Guild, and The Cherry Picks. She has a special taste for horror films that make you think, rom-coms that dole out a healthy dose of Fremdschämen, high-flying action flicks that deliver hits, and has an enemies-to-lovers relationship with superhero movies. While she spends her time writing and editing articles about the entertainment industry, Maggie’s background is in history and anthropology. She earned her Bachelor’s in Historic Preservation from the University of Mary Washington, where she focused on Colonial American history, British literature, and historic architecture. She recently earned her Master’s in Engaged Anthropology at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, where she focused her studies on dark tourism, magic, and the politics of food. After ten years in the museum industry, Maggie still loves finding places where her passion for history and love for entertainment can intersect. In 2020, she co-founded the podcast “Petticoats & Poppies: History Girls at the Movies” with her longtime friend, and North Carolina-based film critic, Nicole Ackman. That same year, Maggie joined as a co-host on the Star Wars podcast ‘Outer Rim Beacon,’ and has appeared as a guest on numerous Star Wars podcasts and other pop culture podcasts. In 2021, she launched “Starbucks Lovers: A Taylor Swift Podcast” which allows her to geek out about her love for Taylor Swift and music. As if all of this wasn’t enough, Maggie is also an accomplished writer, whose screenwriting has garnered her a number of accolades including placing in the Richmond International Film Festival and Los Angeles International Film Festival. She is actively working on querying two novels that she wrote during the pandemic, including an epic romantic fantasy and a paranormal romance about space werewolves. All the while she is working on editing an expansive non-linear workplace romance, while writing an upbeat romance and a twisted epistolary fairytale. Her screenplays are as eclectic as her novels, with a feature-length romantic drama, a half-hour pilot for a supernatural drama, a tense one-hour political-tinged drama, and a short thriller that strikes at the heart of dread, under her belt.
