Marguerite Ferra

Hi!  I’m the facilitator for Woodland Writers.  I can’t wait for our first session together.  Here’s a bit about me.

I always loved to read and I think that I always loved to write.  When I joined writing workshops, I learned how many other people love to write, too. Writing with others gave me confidence and helped me improve my writing.  When I spend a few hours writing with others, I feel peaceful and satisfied.
