Perhaps it’s because she was born under the sign of Aquarius, but Hilary Nangle has had a life-long passion for the coast. The ocean has been a constant in her life since she watched the sun rise out of the Atlantic while waiting for the school bus.
In college, she discovered her love for writing. She briefly pursued a graduate degree in Middle East studies, but when she realized that career path likely wouldn’t include Maine, she dropped out and became a ski and whitewater-rafting bum. That introduced her to Maine’s backroads and offbeat attractions, and a sense of wanderlust was ignited.
When she tired of her parents asking when she was going to get a real job, she drew on her writing strength, working as editor for North American Pro Ski’s publications, managing editor for Gourmet News, features editor for a daily newspaper, and now as a freelance writer/editor. She edits the state’s tourism magazine, Maine Invites You; has contributed numerous magazines and newspapers and dozens of guidebooks; and is a travel expert for a local television show. In 2003, she won a Harold Hirsch award for magazine writing.
Hilary never tires of exploring Maine, always seeking out the offbeat and quirky. To her husband’s dismay, she inherited her grandmother’s shopping gene and can’t pass a used-book store, artisans’ gallery, crafts fair, or antiques shop without browsing. She’s equally curious about food, and has never met a lobster she didn’t like.
Hilary grew up in Greater Portland, but she’s been migrating up the coast since. Although she calls the Mid-Coast home, she’s got her eye on the Acadia region. She lives with her husband, photographer Tom Nangle, and an oversized dog, Zack, both of whom share her passions for coastal walks and Maine-made ice cream.
