I have had the opportunity to hear Lisa Tener speak on several occasions, at business conferences, inspirational events, workshops and in her 8 week book writing class.  She is one of the most engaging, dynamic speakers I have ever met.  She imparts on her students a strong sense of the writing process and current state of the publishing industry.  But perhaps more important, Lisa had the ability to engage me in each session, so that I always left with a clear plan of action – an understanding of the next steps I needed to take my dream of writing and publishing my book to the next level.  Her insight into the publishing world is extremely helpful to first time authors.  Lisa Tener would be an excellent choice for any panel, conference, or speaker series.
