Taking our name from our lovable, though snoozy, beagle pal, Lyle, we are a Minneapolis-based creative services business offering writing, and editing.

Meleah Maynard is a journalist in Minneapolis. Because she has always been curious about just about everything, she writes about pretty much everything, too. But if she really must choose a few favorite subjects, she'd go with gardening, science, nature and health. She also likes writing profiles because she never ceases to be amazed by people's personal stories.

Her articles on everything from growing azaleas and orchids to recovering stolen antiquities in Iraq to how to cook chicken on a beer can have appeared in regional and national publications, including the History Channel Magazine, Garden, Deck & Landscape, City Pages, Midwest Home, Gardening How-To and Remodel. She has also worked regularly as a copywriter and copyeditor for Target Corporation. She is a Master Gardener and a member of the Garden Writers Association and the American Society of Journalists and Authors.
