February 9th – Emily Awards Meeting with Margie Lawson
Please join us for the 2008 Emily awards meeting featuring Margie Lawson’s day long workshop on “Deep Editing”.
Margie Lawson is collecting rave reviews with every master class she teaches. A counseling psychologist, Margie has developed innovative psychologically-anchored editing systems and techniques that will teach you how to write a page-turner.
DEEP EDITING is for the writer who wants to impact the unconscious of the reader, learn fresh editing techniques, and edit for power. Participants will learn the EDITS System and take it deeper, see the interplay of patterns on the page and analyze what’s needed to strengthen their scene. This is not a broad-brush approach; it’s a roll up your sleeves and get to work making a difference on your manuscript workshop. In addition, 25 rhetorical devices will be introduced, along with when and how to use them.
In the last three years, Margie has taught a dozen on-line courses and presented full-day Master Classes in over thirty cities across the U.S and Canada. Her deep editing techniques have been used by hundreds of pre-published writers as well as authors ranging from debut to multi-award-winning. Formerly a college professor, Ms. Lawson holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology. Her resume includes clinical trainer, psychologist, sex therapist, director of an impotence clinic, hypnotherapist and keynote speaker. For further information, see her website: www.margielawson.com.
