EMPOWERING CHARACTERS’ EMOTIONS
By Margie Lawson
Want to learn how to hook the reader viscerally?
Want to learn the four levels of powering up emotion?
Want to learn how to write the full range of body language?
Want to think like a psychologist on the page? If so, this is the on-line course for
you!
Margie Lawson developed innovative psychologically-anchored editing systems and techniques that teach writers how to add emotional power to create page turners.
She loads her on-line courses with fresh content. Provides writers with information they need. Information unavailable anywhere else.
The lectures for Empowering Characters’ Emotions total over 280 pages. Each lecture consists of sections where Margie addresses a deep editing point and shares how, when, where, and why to use it. She provides passages from authors, debut to multi-award-winning, to show how they added power.
Margie analyzes passages, dissects them, and shows writers what the author did that made that passage stellar. Using her deep editing techniques, she teaches writers how to create their own passages that are stellar.
Margie’s deep editing techniques keep a writer’s voice and style intact. She teaches writers how to take what they have and make it better. How to edit what’s on the page, and see what’s missing. How to make their writing soar.
Writers who take Margie’s on-line courses have an opportunity for a powerful learning experience. Whether lurking or actively participating, they learn new concepts they can apply to their Work In Progress.
In this power-packed course, Margie covers the following topics and more:
• The EDITS System
