Read what graduates of Margie Lawson's courses and master classes say:

Randy Ingermanson, Ph. D., author of WRITING FICTION FOR DUMMIES,
award-winning fiction author, creator of Snow-Flake Pro, in-demand writing
instructor:

"In the twenty years I've been writing fiction, two teachers have astounded
me with their insights and taught me something radically new: Dwight Swain
and Margie Lawson.

After reading Margie's material on nonverbal communication and empowering
characters' emotions, something clicked in my brain. Margie taught me a new
ways to empower my writing."

Karin Tabke, Bestselling author:

"I had so many epiphany moments Saturday my head was twitching. It's still
twitching! I wish I had attended Margie's Empowering Characters' Emotions
master class earlier. My writing is stronger, more vivid, more emotional.
The effects of the workshop were immediate. I highly recommend if you have
the opportunity to take Margie's workshop in person, do it."

Colleen Coble, CEO of American Christian Fiction Writers and Bestselling
author:

"The workshop I went to last month was the best I've ever been to, bar
none.. And I've been to plenty. Margie's workshop was so awesome, I'm going
over my notes from what she taught before I start my next book. She's a
genius, pure and simple."

Melanie Milburne, Bestselling, Award Winning author:

I just sold my 31st title and my editor loved the book. She thought I had
written a really sophisticated story with powerful emotion. So thank you
Margie!

I have worked my way through Margie's Empowering Characters' Emotions, and
Deep Editing Lecture Packets, and found them wonderful. Her deep editing
techniques have really lifted my writing. It's so exciting working on each
new novel now knowing I have these amazing techniques to engage the reader
in a more emotionally satisfying way. Thank you again, Margie!

Cheryl Wyatt, Award Winning author:

"I LOVED Margie Lawson's class. WOW. WOW. WOW. Wish I would have discovered
her sooner. Fabulous. My writing will soar to the next level. She's an
incredible teacher and such a fun teacher. Great lady. I plan to take all
her online courses."

At the Steeple Hill spotlight, at the RWA National conference, editors
Krista Stroever and Melissa Endlich mentioned my books. They talked about
how my writing has a depth of emotion that makes them cry. They said that's
the kind of emotive writing they want to see from authors trying to break
in.

Margie, I know I have you to thank for the strong core of emotion that
people say are in my books. Thank you for bringing your wealth of knowledge
and sharing with us. You truly are amazing.

Jeri Smith-Ready, Bestselling author:

I owe it all to Margie Lawson (and my editor) for helping me whip my books
into shape. I used her Empowering Characters' Emotions and Deep Editing
lectures as my bible for my final drafts. I am so grateful I discovered
Margie's editing expertise. I can't say enough about what a difference it
makes to have Margie's 'voice' pushing me to make each word count and each
sentence pop!

Linda Warren, Award Winning Best-selling author:

I'm thoroughly enjoying your Deep Editing lectures. And learning. I feel as
if I've been writing in the dark. All of a sudden you've turned on the light
and my weak and dull writing is transformed into powerful and fresh. I love
it!

As an author I get tired of the "thumping" "pounding" heart. "Lifted"
"raised" eyebrow, too.

After your full day Empowering Characters' Emotions master class at NOLA
Stars, I wrote this line: "She cocked her eyebrow with the power of a .38
special."

As I told you in Shreveport, I've never taken a workshop because getting
around is so hard for me. I'm glad I waited for a Margie Lawson Master Class
to begin to learn about the power of words, the power of writing. You're
brilliant.

CJ Lyons, Award Winning author:

Margie's Empowering Characters' Emotions and Deep Editing classes not only
helped me to get in touch with my characters' visceral reactions, they also
showed me ways to use my characters' emotions to drive my plots in
compelling and evocative new directions!

Lyn Cote, Bestselling, RITA nominated, author:

I love a teacher who knows how to break down the individual skills and
content in order to put into practice what is being taught. I've taken
Margie's
Character Emotion and EDITS classes and have used them ever since.

Margie's lessons are always practical and make such a difference! If you
haven't taken them and implemented them, YOU SHOULD. "
