"Mary Rose Remington's seminar about how to become a columnist was terrific! I have listened to many seminars, and I consider this one the most worthwhile seminar yet. Her presentation was exceptionally well organized, and covered the vital points aspiring columnists need to hear. She comes across as a competent, caring professional. I took thorough notes, and will design an action plan right away. Thank you, Dan, for sponsoring this worthwhile event. Thank you, Mary Rose, for your commitment to helping us achieve more success as published writers. Bravo!"

"Great teleseminar! It was chock full of information, unlike some others which talk all around the points and then offer a very expensive service at the end. I will now attend more teleseminars by Dan, as well as follow up with Mary. Thanks!"
