Margie Lawson has just guided me to my first win in a writing competition. Two immersions, several Fab 30s, including one coming up, and every other course Margie offers and finally I might have nailed story structure, writing fresh, and pacing because I have just come in second in the 2020 Ink and Insights writing competition. My manuscript (still not finished) is "The Rock," about a rookie constable stationed on a remote Australian island who finds herself solving a brutal murder alone, when her colleagues are stranded off the island by a fierce storm. Anyone who doesn’t know about the Ink and Insights competition should definitely have a look at their website. https://inkandinsights.com/

The detailed comments from four judges for all entrants is prize enough but being placed as a judge’s favourite is a special boost in my confidence. Without a single doubt, I could never have achieved this without Margie.
