WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Working with Marcie has been one of the most valuable relationships I have had in my blogging business. Her format for writing guides is flawless, just one of her amazing talents as a content creator. Partnering with Keryn who crushes design and tech is icing on the cake. These two are among the best in the biz.
Lindsay Nieminen, carpediemourway.com
I’m rewatching your [Keryn's] presentation for TBEX Puerto Rico and wanted to reach out and say THANK YOU. Because of your presentation, I went home and published my first Amazon KDP book within a week of getting home. Then, a month later, I just published my second book! All I needed was to know it was possible, so thank you!
Maria DiCicco, alwayspackstissues.com
I have had the pleasure of hearing Marcie speak twice about digital and print travel guides. She really knows her stuff. Keryn also has a lot of design experience and knowledge about the publishing industry. I have been waiting to take a course until one of them released one. Now we get both of their amazing knowledge in one course!
Becca Robins, ourcrazyadventurecalledlife.com
I've seen Keryn speak multiple times. One thing I've learned is that whatever Keryn says she's going to do, she's going to do in spades. Her preparation, dedication, and care that she put into her presentation on diversifying your income through digital and print products was remarkable. But beyond that, she has a natural talent and gift for breaking down complicated topics into actionable insights for attendees.
Chris Mitchell, TBEX North America Director
Working with Marcie made creating my Banff National Park travel guide so much easier. Her awesome advice on writing and marketing took all the stress out of the process. If you're thinking about making your own travel guide, you should definitely check out her course!
