[edit] Biography

Margaret Feinberg started her writing career in the 4th grade when she self published a 112 page book for a writing assignment. After pursing different opportunities in high school (in Steamboat Springs, Colorado) and college (Wake Forest University) she worked at a magazine in Lake Mary, Florida on a summer internship with Strang Communications in Lake Mary, Florida, working primarily with the trade magazine Christian Retailing. While there she realized that she loved to write but didn’t like life in a cubicle. After the internship was over she wrote a number of publications asking to write the book and music reviews in the back of their magazine and provided samples of her writing from the internship. Over time Feinberg worked her way up from reviews to news stories, to feature stories and eventually cover stories. In 2002, Relevant Books published her first solo book, God Whispers, about prayer. Over the course of the last five years Feinberg has led the way in writing for and about twentysomething Christians in America, while also writing books on marriage, being wise with money, numerous Bible studies along with gift books featuring Norman Rockwall artwork. Recognized in 2004 as an ECPA Gold Medallion Award finalist 2, receiving a coveted Starred Review by Publishers Weekly 3 for the Organic God and as a gifted storyteller and spiritual teacher 4 Margaret Feinberg has been named by Charisma Magazine as “one of the ‘30 Emerging Voices’ of Christian leaders under 40 who will help lead the church in the next decade” 5.
