Pride in Publishing: ‘A great conference!’

In the words of attendees:

“The conference was FANTASTIC.”

“I could use typically British understatement and say, ‘Not bad. Not bad at all.’ However, reality compels me to say how very outstanding it was.”

“[I] am the only publisher in town, so I often feel VERY alone working here at my desk, staring at this computer screen. Connecting with you all and hearing such great speakers reminded me I’m not the only struggling publisher in Northern Calilfornia.”

“The handouts were a terrific bonus, too (I’ll be mining Dan [Poynter]’s and Bud [Gardner]’s handouts for ideas and reminders for some time to come).”

“To be with other publishers & writers with the same concerns & questions & focus on books made me feel home-sweet-home. Starting off with funny take-charge-guy Karl Palachuk, we were off ’n running to a knowledge-is-power GOOD time. ALL the presenters were entertaining even as I was seriously taking more notes than in grad class. Industry stats & slides & pro/con experiences didn’t escape me despite speakers’ quips & wit & cartoons flying by. The whole day was fun!”

A big thank-you to the sponsors of the NCPA 2008 conference, Pride in Publishing:
