I was incredibly impressed with the Author 101 Seminar. It was very well organized and the speakers were all exceptional, each with a
unique insight into the world of marketing, a world in which I was nervous and a little shy to enter but which I am now eager to plunge
head first! You yourself, Rick, were exceptionally warm, dynamic and inspiring. You convinced me (and I believe everyone else at the seminar) that with the right work ethic (which I have) and the right tools (which you and the other speakers presented us) we could get our stories, ideas and messages to the people who matter!

Brendon Burchard was also hugely inspiring. He blew the lid off the whole marketing box for me. The price and time spent at the seminar was worth it to hear Brendon speak alone (without taking anything away from the contributions of all the other great speakers). The next few days after the seminar I woke from vivid dreams about great marketing strategies for circus based projects using his basic structure. You don't get much more inspiring than that!

I just wanted to let you know that the Author 101 University workshop last weekend exceeded my highest expectations. The presenters were superb and all seemed dedicated to helping us succeed. I love the fact that all these known experts hung around and were available to talk with us throughout the weekend. I got to have lunch with one of the most successful Internet marketing experts in the world and pick his brain. Where else can you get that?

I think my biggest takeaway was that I got inspired to take action in certain areas where I’ve procrastinated because I simply didn’t know the specific steps to take. Now I have a much better idea of what to do in these areas and I made connections with several people who can support me along the way.

The book business and marketing strategies are changing at light speed. I will definitely be at the next Author 101 University session to stay on top of what’s new and to make more connections.

Big-time thanks to you and all the people behind the scenes who made this all possible.

- Phil Glosserman

I've waited two years to discover a program so complete that it blows the competition away. Not only was the seminar filled with better than broadway entertainment with presenters that were the creme de la creme, but the information was invaluable to launch any attendee with the tools for success. This seminar is a must for anyone desiring to achieve success.

- Jilliana Raymond

Just came back from the publishing seminar. It was great to be there. Thank you to all for the super content and presentation. This was the best seminar I ever went to!

- Robert Merin

I learned so much at Author 101. Thank you. But most importantly, I made friendships and felt a part of a group that will be a two-way blessing for years to come, I believe.

- Karey

Just wanted to say how amazing the Author 101 conference was. I flew from Dubai just to be a part of this and it exceeded all of my expectations.

On top of the fantastic networking opportunity there was a wealth of knowledge passed on that was beyond any price paid to attend this event.

I really cannot say enough about what I learned and took away from this experience. I have already begun motivating people around me who have thought about writing or who I know that has a marketable story to tell.

- Jayme Harris

Rarely have I found such bang for the buck. If I had left at noon on the first day, I already would have gotten my money's worth and then some.

- Dick Methia

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how welcome you made my wife Sandy and I feel at Author 101 at the Westin in Los Angeles. L.A.'s my home town and I felt like we were visiting an old friend who just happened to have the best speakers and motivators in the business in his living room.

You and OUR associates do a wonderful job and it is splendid to be working with you as an author with Morgan James Publishing. I can't wait until we publish my book "Drunk and Disorderly, Again My Name is Hoot, I'm an Alcoholic," to utilize some of the many techniques and shortcuts we learned over the course of the day.

-Hoot

Dynamic speakers. Amazing people. Invaluable information. Words cannot totally define the 'magic' of this event ... It was beyond magical.

The event opened me to a world filled with so much positive energy, brilliant minds and TRUTHFUL information.

It was by far the most valuable seminar I have ever been to and worth its price a million times over. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My life has been changed forever.

- Nancy Hayssen

Thank you for a fantastic event.

Author 101 delivered on its promise. I didn’t just learn what it takes to succeed as an author, I got the insider’s look at how to execute a publicity strategy, get on top radio shows and build powerful relationships with corporations and non-profits.

I feel privileged to have this information and be connected to those that have the secrets to reaching millions of people and making millions of dollars doing it. I am also in awe of the way the material was presented and given from the heart of your speakers and yourself. This wasn’t just a conference; it was an invitation to be part of a network of givers and receivers. Thanks for giving so much of yourself and bringing such a fantastic slate of speakers into one jam-packed event.

- Alice

The workshop was wonderful. There was so much information that I'd never heard anywhere before. I've always been afraid of the business side of writing; I wish I could just write. But this workshop gave me loads of actions I can run with to market my writing. The people were great too. It was worth getting up at four in the morning, returning at 12:30 at night, and driving three hours each way. I'm still excited about it.

Craig Duswalt, Professional RockStar Speaker and Author

Craig Duswalt

How to Achieve RockStar Status in Your Industry By Writing a Book in 30 Days and Thinking Outside the Box
Axl Rose. Pat Benatar. Mick Jagger. Paul McCartney. Not exactly the people you would look to for marketing advice. But look at what they have done. Each one of them rose from complete obscurity to become a music icon. Just saying their names invokes certain images — Axl, the Guns N’ Roses bad boy. Benatar, the lady rocker who could kick your butt eight ways to Sunday, and you’d like it. Jagger’s lips. McCartney, the “cute” Beatle.

They became wildly successful in music because they made their own way. They made their own rules as they went along and in the process, developed world-wide celebrity.

And isn’t that what you want to accomplish in your business? Don’t you want to be instantly recognizable? Don’t you want to be the expert, the go-to person in your field? When a news story breaks in your industry, don’t you want the media calling you for your opinion? That’s what the RockStar System For Success is all about.
Basically, it's RockStar Marketing!

Maybe you can’t sing a note. Maybe the only musical instrument you can play is an iPod. But you can be a RockStar in your industry!
RockStars are the best in their business. They’re known as experts. They are celebrities in their field. That's what Craig creates with the RockStar System For Success — RockStar Entrepreneurs.

3 incredible benefits why handing out your book at networking events is a million times more effective than handing out your run-of-the-mill, boring business cards.
Behind-the-scenes experiences with Guns N' Roses on how real RockStars promote themselves on the road, and how you can apply these same outside-the-box marketing principles to your business.
How to promote yourself and your business for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee a day, and not waste your hard-earned money on expensive, virtually useless print advertising.
How to build incredible wealth through high-priced coaching programs, so you can enjoy the lifestyle of your choice, and give back to your community.

Bottom line — Craig teaches how to work as little as possible, how to love what you do, and how to generate massive income, so you too, can enjoy the lifestyle of your choice.

After spending an hour with Kristen you will be ready to disrupt your ordinary and take action. She wants you to remember that this is not your “practice life!” It’s time to start living your dreams.

David Hancock, Founder of Morgan James Publishing

David L. Hancock

David L. Hancock, Morgan James founder, was named a Finalist in the Best Chairman category in The 2006 American Business Awards. Hailed as “the business world’s own Oscars” by the New York Post, The American Business Awards are the only national, all-encompassing business awards program honoring great performances in the workplace.

David was selected for Fast Company Magazine's Fast 50 for 2006 for his leading creative thinking, significant accomplishments and stands to have a significant impact on the next 10 years. He has revolutionized book publishing from the author's standpoint. His Entrepreneurial Publishing™ model enriches authors as well as his company.

Actively working with his authors to help them not only maximize revenue from their book royalties, David also builds new business and increases their revenue substantially through follow-on sales to their readers.

One of David's core values is having strong and mutually beneficial relationships. "We've spent years developing many of the key business relationships that allows us to get our books in bookstores and the widespread web coverage we've been able to achieve. We intend to stay constant in our pursuit of positive relationships with people in all facets of our business, and we see that as a strategic advantage."

David will be teaching us Guerrilla Marketing for Writers.

As an author, you are an entrepreneur. Every book you write is a separate enterprise with its own fate and its own reckoning that balances income against expenditures. For guerrillas, the only business criterion that counts is profits.

Marketing is anything done to sell a product or service and maintain relationships with the people who make the business possible. Fortune 500 companies spend millions to market their products.

But like most entrepreneurs, authors don’t have millions to spend. They have to be guerrilla marketers. They have to use unconventional weapons and tactics that substitute time, energy and imagination for money.
