Make your writing soar
Powerful pacing drives readers through page after page, from the first to the last. It makes readers keep turning pages, makes them stay up late to finish your book.
You know how critical it is to keep your story moving. But when it’s your well-chosen words, your beautiful scenes, it’s tough to know how to pick up pace, how to make that magic happen.
Join me on March 6 or March 7, and I’ll share my seven musts and lots of other goodies too.
Some are lickety-split quick and oh-so-easy, others require a little more time. But they’ll all make you glad you got my detailed list, learned why these things work, and know how to use them. You’ll make your book a page-turning read!

Margie Lawson left a career in psychology to focus on her true passion—helping writers make their stories, characters, and words strong. Tired of the same old writing rules and tools? Try something new.
Using a psychologically based, deep-editing approach, Margie teaches writers how to bring emotion to the page. Emotion equals power. And power not only grabs readers, it holds onto them until the end. Many Margie grads have gone on to win awards, find agents, sign with publishers, and hit bestseller lists.
As an international presenter, Margie has taught over 150 full day master classes in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and France, as well as multi-day intensives on cruise ships in the Caribbean. Pre-COVID, she taught 5-day Immersion Master Classes across the U.S. and Canada and in seven cities in Australia too.
She also founded Lawson Writer’s Academy, where you’ll find over 30 instructors teaching online courses through her website. To learn more, sign up for Margie’s newsletter.
There is nothing like a dose of Margie to Amp up your writing. These webinars keep you in tune with great writing techniques and strategies. Her insights turn your manuscript from ordinary to extraordinary.
This webinar improved my understanding of the role of a sentence or paragraph in a high emotion scene, and their function in getting the reader emotionally engaged.
I’m fine with verbs and nouns and the mechanics within the sentence. But I needed more practice on the how-to of hooking the reader. The underlying structure. Fascinating stuff. Eye-opening.
Plus Margie is such a generous and passionate trainer. Very inspiring methods.
Taking the time out to dig deep and analyze my self-defeating behaviors was totally worth the effort. Why? Because Margie not only gave me strategies to overcome these behaviors, she showed me how to personalize them. It’s two years since I took the course, and I’m still in regular contact with two change coaches. So beneficial and encouraging!
Every writer needs to know themselves well enough to defeat those road blocks they put in their own way. Margie helps you dig deep and find those pesky tendencies that will keep you from success. Let a psychologist help you master your own habits and behaviours to take your writing life to the next level!
If you feel, like I did, that your stories feel a little thin, and you really want to people them with meaningful characters in a way which adds depth, do take this course. Lisa is a wonderful teacher and I loved her approach and way of breaking the material down. The knowledge she brings is fantastic and she was also extremely generous with giving feedback, which really helped me to make the most of the course. Definitely worth clearing the decks to make time to do this full course justice. *Highly recommended.*
