I can't say enough about your class. I was one of the many lurkers who were madly following along with all the lectures. What a whirlwind month! I learned so much and will continue to learn from your lessons. Thank you so much!
Before taking Margie's workshop, my writing was ho-hum. Margie showed me how to ratchet up the suspense and breathe life into my characters. Since taking the workshop, I finaled for an Eppie award, and I'm getting five star reviews!
I booked Margie to give her Empowering Characters' Emotions Workshop for Central Ohio Fiction Writers (RWA #48). Because her techniques apply to all genres, it was easy to attract writers from outside our chapter. I got such an overwhelming response, I had to book a bigger classroom. Margie still managed to connect with each student, making sure they understood how her psychologically-based techniques could improve their work. Attendees were so pleased, several joined our writing group afterwards.
When I first sent my manuscript to a freelance editor, she said: "This novel has no emotion. You need to take Margie Lawson's class." So I took your class, right? Then, this week I just got it back again from a different freelance editor and the first thing she said was, "I'm glad to see a lot of emotion in this story. That's one thing that I get the most frustrated with in the many pieces I've critiqued.
As Mini Con conference coordinator for Central New York RWA chapter, I bring in speakers that will help authors at all levels of their careers. Margie Lawson’s workshops offer unique and practical tactics to teach writers how to craft a best seller. Not only is Margie engaging as a speaker, but her energy level is contagious. Many authors e-mailed thanking me for bringing her to our chapter and shared how her hands-on approach has improved their writing. I highly recommend Margie and all of her workshops. What you will learn will take your work to a new level
I just attended your workshop in Toronto on Saturday and I wanted to let you know that I was so thrilled to learn as much as I did!
I immediately came home and worked on highlighting two books: One that I really enjoyed and the other I really didn't. I was amazed. The one I didn't enjoy had so much yellow, my highlighter nearly ran out of ink. The other, had every color on almost every page. Thank you so much! See you on the NYT Best seller list.

I constantly think how different and IMPROVED my writing is because of your teachings. I can't gush enough. :-) No class or book has come close to making the difference that your classes have. Your Empowering Characters' Emotions and Deep Editing classes have pushed my writing to a new level. With your tools, I'm more inspired, excited, and confident in my writing than I've ever been.
Margie Lawson's workshop, Empowering Characters' Emotions, was just what I needed to infuse extra oomph into my WIP. It's amazing what a handful of highlighters and some out-of-the-box thinking can do. Her exercises on the four levels of emotion not only helped my characters, but empowered me as well.”
A friend who attended RWA National said that at the Steeple Hill spotlight, editors Krista Stroever and Melissa Endlich mentioned my books and how they have this 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.”
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.
