Margreit Maitland is a novelist, educator, and story‑guide who helps writers turn ideas into compelling, emotionally rich narratives. Her passion for real history and dynamic plot design began when her grandfather handed her a journal about her ancestor Robert’s journey around the world — a story filled with courage, heartbreak, and adventure that became the inspiration for her novels Runaway at Sea and Adventurer at Sea.

Through writing, Margreit discovered she loves teaching just as much as storytelling. She’s helped writers of all levels break through creative blocks, build stronger story arcs, and finally finish the projects they’ve been dreaming about. Her approach is warm, practical, and focused on skills you can use immediately.

When she’s not writing or coaching, Margreit is exploring Long Island’s beaches, supporting local libraries and schools, and researching the next true‑life adventure from her family’s history. She’s thrilled to guide you through this course — and can’t wait to see the stories you create.
