Featured On

  • "Margaret is an ambitious writer with a heart for activism. Had the pleasure of reading some of her work and could tell she writes with a good deal of care. She likes to defy genre rules and represent as many areas as she can, which is not always easy to do."

    —Donovan Levine, Neighborhood Literary

  • "Margaret Beaver is not only a young writer of prose, but one who carefully crafts activism in her works. She is gifted, talented, and a marvel. Her work shows numerous elements of EQ. What is revealed most about Margaret is her fortitude and determination to make a difference in this world by reaching out to the hearts and minds of others through her prose. Her works are well worth the read."

    —Joslyn Wolfe, Focus on Women Magazine

  • "I had the privilege of interviewing Margaret for a podcast part of the magazine I work at, Focus on Women. Margaret was very responsive, attentive, and charming, handling each question I asked her with ease and grace. She is so easy to talk to and creates a comfortable environment for everyone; not only that, but she is an extremely talented and intelligent writer who will continue to succeed at everything she works toward."

    —Abigail Meyers, Simmons University

  • "A young author with a mature talent. Although I understand that she does not primarily define herself as a poet, I think she is. She is willing to cross boundaries, willing to go to very painful and personal places and go there with authority, with eyes wide open. Depression and its accompanying symptoms are still very much in the closet and I laud her for her courage to come forward with her story and to tell it so beautifully."

    —Joanne Hoersch, Hudson Theatre Works
