When you think about pitching or presenting, does your anxiety spike?  Do you have a gut-grabbing, heart-ratcheting, vision-clouding visceral reaction?  If so, this lecture packet is for you.

Writers pitch to agents, pitch to editors, introduce guest speakers.  They participate on panels, present workshops, give book signings.  They get interviewed for podcasts, radio, and television.  Some writers get interviewed by Matt Lauer and Oprah!

Turn your debilitating anxiety into positive, anticipatory anxiety.

In the twenty years I've been writing fiction, two teachers have astounded me with their insights and taught me something radically new:  Dwight Swain and Margie Lawson. Margie has made an enormous splash among novelists with her Deep Editing class and her Empowering Character Emotions class.  I absolutely love her work. After reading Margie's material on nonverbal communication and empowering character emotions, something clicked in my brain.  Fiction is about giving readers a powerful emotional experience. Margie taught me a new ways to empower my writing.
