Loree's Workshops

LOREE'S STUDENTS SAY...

"The woman's smart, funny,
and up to her ears in writing experience..."

"Thanks to your insightful and detailed lessons and handouts, I now have a dozen articles published in national magazines, and my second novel has just been contracted..."

"Because of you, I have won half a dozen national writing competitions. Because of you, I now have a book on the shelves..."

"Enclosed are copies of two articles and a short story that were published as a direct result of your input..."

"I have enclosed copies of acceptance letters I have received from editors at S&S and Bantam. The glowing remarks of both are due in no small part to the hard work you put in with me prior to submission..."

"You taught how to write a slam-dunk query and a winning synopsis..."

"Her sense of humor is infectious and makes learning a pleasure..."

"I have taken two writing courses--one from you and one from "someone else". Yours was vastly superior..."

"You have made me feel that you really care about my success, not just in class, but as a writer for the long haul..."

"I can honestly attribute much of my initial success as a published fiction writer to Loree Lough..."

"Loree knows every aspect of her business, and fully enjoys the success of those she mentors..."

Best-selling author Loree Lough developed THE LEADING EDGE WRITERS’ STUDIOS in 1999, turning 15+ years' teaching and 20+ years' learned-the-hard-way writing experience into fun, interactive one-day workshops and weekend retreats designed to help you sell, regardless of genre or skill level.
With 64 award-winning books, 59 short stories, and nearly 2,300 articles in print, Loree has what it takes to teach you to turn your ideas into salable fiction and non-fiction proposals. Her lineup of guest speakers—NY agents and editors, tax and entertainment attorneys, PR reps, self- and e-print publishers, and more—are equally qualified to help you learn what publishers want… and what they don't want.	Loree explains the elements of fiction to her college students.
So join us for three glorious days at a quaint and quiet B&B, where magnificent mountain vistas are topped only by prize-winning chef-prepared meals, and add your name to the list (500+ and counting!) of Loree’s now-published students! The next LEADING EDGE writers' retreat takes place on November 9-11, 2007 at the Town Hill Hotel B&B in scenic western Maryland (recommended by National Geographic, Allegheny Expeditions, The Appalachian Regional Commission and more). Space is limited, so please register early! Click here for a printable registration form. And remember: A percentage of every LEADING EDGE WRITERS’ STUDIOS registration fee is earmarked for The Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania…

Loree Lough is also available to speak to your group about almost any writing-related subject. Feel free to email loree@loreelough.com with details of your planned event.
