I am writing in support of Maureen Boyd as our Group Facilitator for our “Shut-Up and Write” weekly meeting.  As a Facilitator, Maureen is steady, consistent, supportive, warm, and clear with her feedback.  I have been in the group for about one year and have learned a huge amount from watching her listen to our group members, give feedback and support and from her talking about and reading her own writing.

I am a fairly new writer, and as a 75 years of age woman, I am quite clear that writing is something I am committed to doing.  I plan to be part of our group for a long time.  Maureen has been a wonderful support for me and our other diverse collection of consistent group members.
