Hi there— I’m Margaret H. Willison, a writer, podcaster, speaker, and educator based in Boston, MA. My specialty is teaching people how to make connections between the art they love and their own lives. In partnership with Not Sorry Productions, I designed and led three trips centered on Jane Austen novels— Pride and Prejudice, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey— and one on Taylor Swift’s albums folklore and evermore. In addition, I have designed and led four virtual classes dedicated to Austen’s novels and one dedicated to Taylor Swift’s tradition of confessional songwriting.

If I’ve done my job right, you will leave my classes with a deeper understanding of both the texts you study and yourself.
