“If any of you are writing a book, go out and get yourself a Ken right away! He held my hand through the doubts and fears, pulled me out of the stuck places, and turned me into a writing ninja!”

“Ken, when I began this class I thought that I would simply learn how to write a decent paper — I was very wrong! Your class has given me not only a newly found confidence in my ability as a writer, but also something much more precious—an understanding and maturity that has allowed me to take the steps necessary to develop a healthy relationship with my mom. Through my I-Search project, I realized how important it is for us to be a part of each other’s lives. Thank you for giving me the ‘nudge’ I needed to embark on this search.”
– Former student
“I’m so glad I worked with Ken to get my book ready for publishing. His edits were thorough and easy to follow and implement. He helped not only with the pesky grammatical stuff, but also with the flow and content to be sure the writing and order made sense for my reader. I was confident when I sent the manuscript to the graphic designer that it was clean, flowed well, and was enjoyable to read. That peace of mind was invaluable for my mindset and for my sales! Thanks, Ken.”

“You’ve Got the Time: How to Write and Publish That Book in You contains a wealth of comprehensive information that will benefit both new and seasoned nonfiction book writers. The section alone on contracts and negotiation is critical for every writer to understand. Ken outlines every issue and benchmark in the writing/publication/promotion process – whether you intend to self-publish or to approach a traditional publisher. Every writer should own this book to best navigate the waters of book creation, publication, and promotion. Highly recommended.”
