| Rave reviews about How to get your book published: "The seminar dispelled a great deal of the publishing myths. It allowed me to plan my course of action over the next few months in order to get my book published. Thank you." - Shane Horsburgh "Two highly engaging hours filled with specific insights from someone who has done this themselves and is involved with the process each day. "I have a much greater understanding of the publishers point of view and I am now very clear about the next steps to take to get my books published. I am also absolutely inspired to get on with it!" - Katie Whiffen "Geoff really was engaging, funny and knowledgable. I got more then I expected to get in a two hour period. The seminar was very good and I learnt a lot. It is also enabled me to think about new ideas and possible new angles for my own book idea." - Tim Lassig "It had all the right information and it was delivered in a very professional, no-nonsense manner. I can now formulate a step by step plan with regards to writing my book." - Kevin Harper "I learnt several important factors about ways to approach publishers for publishing. I'm really glad that I went to the seminar as now I will save myself weeks of time." - Amber Hamam "I really enjoyed the seminar.
