 Sample BUZZ from Margie Grads!

 

Romily Bernard, award-winning author, Find Me, will be released from Harper Collins in 2013

Your classes (both online and at the Georgia writing conference) changed my life!! My YA debut sold in a three-book, pre-empt to Harper Collins. Phoebe was so very complimentary about the way I render emotion and tension on the page and I know I have you to thank!

 

Alex Ratcliff, 2012 Daphne Finalist

Margie’s online courses and Immersion Master Class have strapped me into a skill-building machine for writers. With her help, in one year I moved from a can’t-write-a-fresh-line beginner to a Daphne finalist. Wow!

 

Laura Drake, newly contracted author

When I took my first Margie Lawson class, the paradigm shift I experienced was more like an earthquake -- I saw everything differently. I took more of her classes. I finished the book, and dusted off my drawer-dwe ller in her Masters Class. I sold both books in a three book deal to Grand Central. A few months later I got a contract for a fourth book. And I recently got contracted for three more books! I have Margie to thank for teaching me how to deep edit to get power on every page.

 

Lara Chapman, 2012 RITA Nominee for her Young Adult, Flawless

What you learn from Margie is a writing-career changer! You will never look at your writing the same way again. Regardless of where you are in your writing - newbie or multi-published - Margie will teach you how to write a page-turner.

 

Elizabeth Essex, mulit-published author, 2012 RITA Finalist for her historical, The Danger of Desire

I've attended one of Margie's all-day seminars, taken all her online classes; attended her workshops at RWA conferences, and flown to Colorado to attend her four-day Immersion class. Margie taught me to challenge and push myself to make the hard changes from the first page of a manuscript until the very last. Working with Margie, you'll have the tools to make every single word count.
