"They say that writing can't be taught. Margaret proves them wrong. Her class leads any writer along a brightly lit, well sign-posted path to success."

---Pat Godfrey

"The writing exercises become more than just practice. Many of them appear in our published work, in our novels and screenplays. The exercises insist on earnestness in developing our characters."

---Paul Flentge

"Margaret’s writing exercises are instrumental in helping me explore and develop my characters, get deeper into the story’s emotional arc, and expand sensory details to enrich both the emotions and the plot."

---Lynne Wikoff

"Upon completion of the writer's retreat, I have full confidence and no reservations in saying your tutelage will stay with my writing forever. I found your instruction and guidance constructive and useful; and spoken from someone with real experience. You are truly AWESOME!

I sincerely thank you for the time we spent in building stories through the craft of writing. It was fun!"
