Mary Murray

I am a lifestyle/culture writer and magazine editor from South Florida. I earned a B.A. in English/Creative Writing from Florida State University and an M.A. in Arts Journalism from Syracuse University. Since 2012, I've worked as an editor for Palm Beach Media Group, where I write for and edit many monthly titles including Palm Beach Illustrated, Naples Illustrated, and Fort Lauderdale Illustrated magazines. I also manage custom publications including the award-winning Art&Culture magazine for the Cultural Council for Palm Beach County. Within my role at Palm Beach Media Group I've penned feature articles, profiles, celebrity Q&As, and travel articles on places such as Wales, Dubai, Amsterdam, and Antigua, to name a few.
