About your instructor:

Writing has always been a dream, floating in the back of Margreit’s mind for as long as she can remember. A love for literature was instilled in her by her mother and family in general from an early age. While growing up, she read a wide range of books from the classics to something quick and fun, and adored getting lost in a story.  Sheis an enthusiastic supporter of literature, education, science, wildlife and nature. The source of which lies in being encouraged (at a very young age – thanks Mom!) to muck around in the mud searching for hermit crabs and other tiny or large inhabitants of the natural world. She enjoys living on Long Island, where she is happily surrounded by beaches and with her two children and Mr. Frosty the cat. In her spare time she can be found staying active and outside whenever possible and with her treasured family and friends. In the future she looks forward to sharing many more stories.

Margreit is the author of Runaway at Sea, and Adventurer at Sea: On The Edge Of Freedom and often leads creative writing workshops for children and adults throughout the year. Her writing bridges that sweet spot between creative non-fiction, adventure, and historical fiction that is sought by many writers today.  A love for literature was instilled in her by her mother and family in general from an early age.
