Summary:
Details:
Margie looks at writing in a completely fresh way. She has changed my writing and helped me improve it much faster than any other class I've taken.
I learned about Margie through Australian author Dorothy Adamek, who had attended a Margie immersion and found the experience so valuable that she hosted her own immersion course, which was absolutely brilliant - and which I credit with winning an ACFW Genesis Award, and helping an author client win a RITA.
This course is one of Margie's "Big Three" and is a pre-requisite to attending an immersion. I did the course as a self-learning lecture packet, which suited me as I was working full-time at the time, and wouldn't have been able to properly participate in the class.
The lecture packet has all the same information and learning as the class. The best part about this class is learning all the ways to make your writing more powerful. The worst part is that you'll start judging every novel you read against what you learn 😉
