What others say about Marcia's talks:

"Marcia, you were fantastic! It was a night of publishing insight, thanks to you. It's really good to know about the various options, and the advantages and disadvantages of each. Thank you so much for your generous sharing of information on this all-too important subject for writers. We learned so much." - Tysa Goodrich, Vice President of Programs, Ventura County Writers Club

"Marcia Meier has excellent grasp of the state of publishing and provides invaluable insights into the direction of the industry in the brave new Internet world.  An engaging speaker, she is refreshingly optimistic and provides a road map for writers who are daunted by the challenges of the new media." - Linda Marsa, UCLA Extension

“Marcia, your talk generated so much interest and so many questions!  Our writers' group got a lot of ‘take-aways’...specific answers to their questions about today's publishing world that will serve them well as they go through the publishing and marketing process.  I would recommend that all writers' groups book you as soon as possible so as not to miss out on the opportunity to hear timely advice from an expert on the latest trends in publishing.” - Stephanie Sharf, President, California Writers Club - San Fernando Valley Branch, www.cwc-sfv.org
