What participants are saying about
John Kremer's talks . . .

“John Kremer spoke to us on March 7th about book marketing. He spoke until almost 9:45. A few people grabbed their cell phones to tell whoever was on the other end that they'd be coming home late, but no one left early. I couldn't and wouldn't try to summarize everything John said. He mixed some of the practical tips from his book with a perspective that gives an overarching meaning to all the things we do every day to sell our books. These activities are parts of life and living, much more a state of mind than a state of desperation. His presentation was enormously and uniquely valuable. Those who missed this event should be kicking themselves right now.” — Bob Goodman, San Diego Publishers Alliance

“I just spent some time listening to John Kremer speak last night. Wow! If you want to learn every angle to marketing, listen to John, look for his books, and sign up for his consulting. Anyone who devotes himself so faithfully to his craft is worth listening to...even just for 15 minutes. He tells you the best things to do and the worst things to do in the most succinct, common-sense manner. Awesome!” — Valerie Atkinson Brown, author, International Thomson Publishing

“Thank you again for being our speaker for the AMA seminar. I thought you would like to know that the evaluations were absolutely terrific. On a scale of 1 to 5, your presentation topic and content rated a 4 and your presentation rated a 4.14 with our attendees.” — Kim Mickelsen, Programming Chair, Omaha Chapter of the American Marketing Association

“I wanted to thank you so much for the presentation you did on the first day of PMA U. You have such a wealth of knowledge and your sense of humor was perfect after a long day of classes.” — Laura K. Bryant, Crimson Leaf Publishing

“John Kremer was the keynote speaker. He not only gave us many, many tips about marketing, but also through his appealing personality and presentation skills showed us ways for wowing audiences and selling books. John, I thank you again for sharing your knowledge and inspiring this 'back of the room sales' cookbook author to new ways to market my books.” — Jane Trittipo, author/publisher, The Marvelous Microwave: Good Food in Practically No Time

“Many thanks for speaking to our Valley Independent Publishers. We found you very entertaining and certainly knowledgeable.... The audience of members and visitors seemed to hang on to all you had to say.” — Evelyn Barbee, VIP secretary

“The participants' written comments on the program evaluations say it best: Good info. Great value! Good points. In fact, your evaluation average was 9.03 out of a possible 10!” — Sarita Maybin-Anderson, Program Chair, National Speakers Association, San Diego Chapter

“Caught your schtick last night at Borders. I was reluctant about missing my Studebaker Drivers Club meeting in favor of your presentation. I made a good choice. Your passion is pervasive and you inspired me. Don't get all teared up. I figure you are probably tired of people telling you how encouraging you are but I want to take the risk you won't be bored by my comment. Thanx.” — Michael McKinney Black

“Every speaker was focused and to the point. John Kremer spoke for two hours, and it seemed like he was just warming up when we had to stop for lunch. He hung around for the entire today, answering questions cheerfully and generally contributing to an overall good feel. His support, enthusiasm, and generosity infected everyone. I guarantee that any small publisher's group will get more than their money's worth if they bring John Kremer in to speak.” — Jon Sievert, author/publisher, Concert Photography: How to Shoot and Sell Music-Business Photographs

“You gave us the finest program I can remember.” — Velda L. Cole-Moore, Florida Publishers Association

“After listening to the tapes, it was clear (even to a newcomer like myself) to see you really know your stuff. In my view, you stood above all the other speakers. You are knowledgeable and your enthusiasm/passion for this business is an inspiration.” — Bob Sandstrom, Publisher, Stepping Stone Books

“Most of the attendees hadn't had the chance to hear you before, so the workshop on non-traditional marketing was especially valuable. You always knock them dead.” — Karen Misuraca, Publisher, Lagoon Publications

“Just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed your speech. It was full of a lot of great concepts and proved once again why you're the guru of small publishing!” — Stephen Hall, Radio-TV Interview Report

“Thank you for sharing your secrets of a successful marketing plan. Your insight and ease of how-to is extremely motivating.” — Aimee Rabich, Publisher, Madison & Company

“It was great to meet you last week at PMA. ... Thanks for a wonderful seminar. It's so great you are willing to share what you know about publishing.” — Kim Dushinski

“The feedback on your seminar has been overwhelming. This conference was very successful due to the intensity to learn about marketing that the attendees brought into the conference and your enthusiasm to convey that information to them.” — Barbara Hagen, President, Florida Publishers Association

“John Kremer deserves the thanks of so many of us. John has set a standard and example, showing us how to keep focused while looking ahead, be creative while playing by the rules, how to achieve the impossible while approaching our tasks one item at a time, and how to maintain our integrity while never, ever giving up. Thanks, John, for everything.” — Mary Westheimer

“We received valuable and practical information from a knowledgeable and entertaining speaker, and we met fascinating people with whom we shared information, experiences, and advice. It was truly a worthwhile expense and experience.” — Frances Keiser, Sagaponack Books

“I bought a $107 course on how to get free publicity a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it was basically a rehash of material I'd already purchased. However, the package included 2 audio tapes of a seminar you did (back in '94 I believe) as free bonuses. The thing is, I learned more from those free audio tapes than from this guy's entire course. I could have saved that money and have gotten a consultation from you instead. Well, such is life.” — Ray Gailes, Gale Force Press

“John Kremer — He's smart, creative and clever, and he knows how to help you sell books.” — Jon Bard, Editor, Children's Writing Update!
