"A true wordsmith and consummate professional, Midge Raymond is a virtual search engine of information when it comes to writing and getting published. Taking Midge's classes inspired me to return to writing and publishing after a 13-year hiatus. I look forward to taking more classes with Midge to keep my skills sharp and to work in an environment of positive and helpful feedback." --Patricia Walsh, Epicurus Communications "[Writing for the Screen] was broad and insightful. The material was interesting and put screenwriting into a comprehensible frame that inspired me to embrace and explore this storytelling art." --Roger Chagnon "Absolutely outstanding!

Editing & Consulting "I worked with several editors but none seemed to comprehend what I was trying to accomplish. Then I found Midge Raymond. She intuitively understood the depth of my story and helped me to shape the story without changing my voice. She gave gentle suggestions for grammar, better transitions, and more powerful phrasing. She never questioned my ideas but simply gave me intelligent advice on how to polish my story and make my words and ideas flow more effectively." -- Elizabeth Anne Hill, President, Catherine Hill Foundation "Midge was extremely easy to work with and had very positive, encouraging comments through the editing process. Her professionalism and suggestions for improvement were very helpful and truly made for a better book." -- Peter Vultaggio, International Speaker, Author, The Lumi Company |
Seminars & Custom Courses"Getting a chance to become re-introduced to my muse was a very valuable experience. I would recommend this seminar to anyone who needs to be reminded that we all have a little voice inside needing a chance to speak." --Lisa Jambeau, Awakening Your Muse Workshop
"If you learn one thing from a seminar, your money was well spent. I learned four things, so I owe you money." --Iris Allyn, Awakening Your Muse Workshop "Midge's Getting Published seminar was a huge help to me. When I got ready to submit my first story to a magazine, I pulled out the sample letters and all my notes. I tidied up my story per the suggestions made in class; wrote my letter to the editor, again per Midge's example; and sent it off to the top magazine in the genre the story was written for. Two months later, I got a call telling me they wanted to buy my story. I never would have had the tools to accomplish this without having taken Getting Published." --Leslie Sowden "The afternoon was informative, inspiring, and fun. The personal critique, plus learning new concepts, has energized my writing. Thank you." --Bettye Burns, Custom Memoir Workshop "Midge has a wonderful, interactive teaching style!" -- Terrie Litwin, Custom Memoir Workshop |
