"I thought the conference was great...and after 17
years of Conferences, Seminars, Trade Shows and
Training Programs, I'm a tough customer! I'm
usually not a "Panel" fan, but yours worked, also
thought your speakers gave enough content without
giving too much "Commercial". I've attended similar
seminars where this wasn't the case. Thanks too for
running a "Tight Ship", I really appreciate that you
held the speakers to their time slots and didn't let
them ramble on. :-) But thanks the most for the
inspiration and kick in the butt to get my book
done!"

"Just wanted to let
you know how absolutely blown away I was with the
21st Century Book Marketing event in San Diego. You
assembled an all-star roster of the best in the
business, and they held nothing back. Not only was
the content of the event unbelievable, the
networking opportunities alone were invaluable!"
Kyle Widner, Wild Divine
"I
was amazed at the amount of valuable take away data
and networking that I got from the event
that I could contact or implement immediately and
have impact on my business. It is rare to get this
and I got a lot!
Anyone who wants to try drinking from the book
marketing fire hose this is a great spout!"

"Thanks so much for
the eye-opening, mind-blowing 21st Century Book
Marketing conference this weekend. I've already made
significant steps to change the way I think and work
with Social Media. While the wealth of information
presented was at times overwhelming, I came away
with the realization that the writer now has more
power than ever before. The predominance of keywords
like authenticity, passion, enthusiasm, building
relationships and community partnerships gave me
great hope, not only for publishing, but for our
world."

"The 21st Century Book Marketing Seminar was a
magical weekend, beyond my
wildest dreams! Your event changed my life. The
consistent message of each speaker and panel member
triggered my personal power.... I truly left your
seminar believing for the first time
that I was writing a bestselling book and I could
successfully market it and earn a good income."

"Just a quick note
to say thank you again for such a splendid
conference. I am still digesting the fountain of
information and following up on all the valuable
contacts. Contrary to some of the conferences I have
attended, yours was content rich, stimulating,
practical and inspirational. Thank you for a WOW
experience. Much success,
Leonard"

"Arielle, I just
wanted to thank you so very much for having the
Huffington Post editor at your conference!
Because of you, I made a pivotal introduction. At
long last, I am blogging over there. I'm very,
very excited! Thanks so much!! I'm also really
excited -- my very first op ed piece ever that I've
been working on for days was just accepted in the
Newark Star-Ledger! I used your feelingization
technique--that and submitted the piece to 31
publications! I really tuned into how great I'd feel
if it was accepted, and it was! I'm thrilled."

"Hi
Arielle, I loved the Weekend ‘Marketing 21’
Fabulous info and speakers – the best in the
field. Got lots of things to put into motion. Again
appreciated the Soft Sell – made it more conducive
to me to buy – which I did.
Many Blessings"

"I am so grateful I attended the 21st Century
Book Marketing Event. I went from working on a
manuscript, to fully stepping into the role of
author and writer! I took advantage of sending in
an article to Huffington Post, which was published.
I feel that really opened doors for me! Since then,
I have been interviewed on Unity.fm, and published
on Associated Content. I recently was given my own
column in a locally based, quarterly magazine, The
Rising Magazine. I also just found out an article I
submitted to Aspire Magazine is going to be
published on their site, with a request for 5 more
articles! I have utilized much of the social
marketing ideas, seeing much success
in growing my on-line communities and presence.
Because of the opportunities presented at the 21st
Century Book Marketing Event, I have seen more and
more doors begin to open. I have beengiven the
tools to make a book contract absolutely possible!"
