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.
