Margaret D. Pagan

Margaret Pagan is an author, editor, and educator living in Baltimore, Maryland. Her work has appeared in local, regional, and national publications. Along with previously serving as adjunct faculty at a local college, she continues to work with organizations geared toward educating and supporting fellow writers.

Pagan has held the position of Writer/Editor at the Social Security Administration and as a writing teacher at Baltimore City Community College. She currently serves as President of the Black Writers' Guild of Maryland.

While a long-time writer, it was not until the Lord led her to Catherine (Katy)Ferguson that Pagan would pen her first book.

When asked to write an article about Ferguson, Pagan's interest did not end once the assignment concluded. Instead, her heartfelt belief was that God led her to share Mrs. Ferguson's story worldwide.

Ferguson, a cheerful,  God-fearing woman, became the subject of Pagan’s first book, a book of historical fiction, More Than a Slave: The Life of Katherine Ferguson, which was soon followed by a sequel, The Fulani Girls.
