COMMENTS FROM PAST WORKSHOP & SEMINAR PARTICIPANTS:

"You talk about what writers need to hear!"
—Michael Larsen, top literary agent and best-selling author of numerous publishing books

“Jeff gave us solid advice on marketing our books. His honest and no-hype presentation impressed me.”
—Sarah Hinze, author, Songs of the Morning Stars—Twelve Truths Revealed by Unborn Children

“Thank you Jeff for a formidable amount of professional guidance. As an author, I spend an incredible amount of time on the internet and your information will help me even more. Thank you!”
—Judy Azar LeBlanc, Many Faces to Many Places

“It's easy to become overwhelmed by the vastness of the Internet and easier to lose focus and end up wandering aimlessly in search of an effective Internet marketing strategy.  You offered up practical advice that I could go home and put to work for me immediately.  Without question, it was the best spent 90 minutes out of the entire conference!”
—Nora Peterson, author

“Lot’s of great information with excellent research behind it!”
—Darren Todd, publisher

“Jeff gives very useable and practical tips on structuring and improving websites for marketing.” 
—Pamela J. Waterman. The Braces Cookbook: Recipes You (and Your Orthodontist) Will Love

“Jeff’s talk was clear, concise and easily understood by both web novices and the more experienced. Crammed with useful information.”
—Pinkie Paranya, author, Treasure of the Amazon

“Jeffrey was excellent in sharing his experiences and the content was very valuable.”
—Robin Craig, Speaker & Consultant

“Really helpful, especially for first time authors. Jeff explains the online opportunities available.”
—Sam Barone, author Dawn of Empire

“Jeffrey has so much knowledge and was able to fit an incredible amount of material into the 90-minute seminar. Although I have a website, I’ve been flying blind. Now I know what the words mean that I’ve been guessing at, and see there are options I never dreamed of.”
—Heather J. Kirk, author & photographer

“Thank you for some excellent information on the sometimes arcane world of website design. I needed this information!”
—Cathy Marley, author, Peeking Over the Edge

“Highly concentrated information—all immediately useful. Thank you for your exceptional expertise!”
—Carol Manetta, Opening Children to Their Guardian Angels

“Jeff’s down-to-earth and realistic manner is so refreshing. I highly recommend his workshop!”
—Maureen Focht, MS, Silent Heroes, Courageous Families Living with Depression & Mental Illness

“A truckload of information on websites, marketing and publicity!”
—Marvin Robertson, author

"Jeff's workshop supplied excellent insider tips that we immediately implemented to get our proposal noticed. A top literary agent contacted us in days not months. Jeff Keen knows this business!"
—Laurie Barnoski and Emily Strader, authors of "The Day the Principal Got Mooned"

“A worthwhile, information-loaded workshop, which answered many questions, we didn’t know to ask before today. I enjoyed the amount of experience that the speaker shared, the useable material, and the comfort of the venue.”
—Connie Kazal, Program Chair, Society of Southwestern Author's Writer’s Forum

"I attended Jeff's Publisher’s Workshop and found it very helpful. The small group included writers and publishers and allowed time for specific questions that met each person's needs. The speaker made me realize that publishing is a complex but ultimately understandable business."
—Charlene Woodward, Publisher, Dogwise Publishing

"I just wanted to say that I attended Jeff Keen's workshop and loved it. The speaker had a lot of keen insight into the marketing/publishing world and was very helpful. His mail lists alone were worth the time. Jeff’s continual study and interest in publishing and marketing make them an asset to any author or publisher."
—Terry L. Persun, author, "Wolf's Rite" and "The Witness Tree"

“Jeff's publishing workshop can help authors no matter where they are in the writing process.”
—Carol Costa, author, "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Bankruptcy"

“Jeff gave me insight, clear direction on ways in which I could get myself ‘out there,’ and some of the best ‘inside information’ a writer needs to know to advance in his or her career. Jeff's publishing workshop was just as professional and in-depth as a Dan Poynter seminar but with ten times the handouts and much more affordable!”
—Fran Lenzo, author

“The list of resources is priceless.”
—Brad Avery, aspiring writer

“This workshop went above and beyond any info source available. Jeff provided so much great information. The venue was warm and inviting. The speaker’s attention to detail was refreshing.”
—Patricia Carter, author

“Important material to inspire and keep a writer hopeful. Cuts down on the footwork for publishing.”
—Tim Barker, author

"Jeff's presentation was practical, to the point, and well received by their audiences. The speaker provided an insider’s look into the intricacies of the publishing business and made it clear that getting a first-time author’s work published and in bookstores is possible."
—Cochise Catalyst Newsletter, Arizona
