What previous attendees have to say:
“Brian’s the real deal. He isn't just an inspiring teacher – he's
plugged into the publishing world! He got me an agent who sold my first novel,
to publishers around the world. My 13th novel, The Awakening, hit number 1 on the New
York Times bestsellers list. To date I’ve published 28 books,
and thirteen of them have been turned into a TV show with the same name as my
first novel, Bitten.”
