Testimonials

"I've been working with Brian Schwartz and his team since 2013. He first assisted me in setting up The Gracie Diet (and the various translations that followed) on Kindle. Over the years, he's expanded his value and stepped up to assist me in whatever technical challenge I faced - whether it be Amazon, web domains, or any other glitch we ran into. He also identified significant opportunities to save us money and helped reduce our annual tech spend considerably. In 2019, he helped us launch GracieMuseum.com, a website dedicated to preserving the history of Jiu-Jitsu. I'd highly recommend Brian and his team for your next project. He is trustworthy, loyal, has high integrity, and I know that anything he recommends is always in our best interests." ~ Rorion Gracie

The book business is changing dramatically and exponentially and Brian is ahead of the curve. He was very generous in sharing his expertise and he alerted us about pitfalls to avoid. As an author and publisher he is a shining example of someone who knew what he wanted to do and then did it, expeditiously, successfully and efficiently. Nancy Mills, Past President, Colorado Independent Publishers Association

I received very positive feedback from all who attended Brian's Indie Publishing workshop at the Colorado Christian Writers Conference. I look forward to having him join us again at an upcoming conference.. to further arm attendees with the latest technology related to independent and eBook publishing. The face of publishing is rapidly shifting and we need more experts like Brian to lead authors safely down the ever changing path... to avoid the many minefields and arrive successfully. Marlene Bagnull, Litt.D. - Director of Colorado & Greater Philly Christian Writers Conferences

Based on the overwhelming popularity of the topic of eBooks, and given the fact Brian delivered a solid program for us last year, we are glad to welcome Brian back for a second year at the 51st annual Cape Cod Writers Conference. I would highly recommend Brian to other writer's conferences seeking to add an element of independent publishing to their curriculum. Nancy Rubin Stuart, Executive Director, Cape Cod Writers Center

Thanks to Brian Schwartz, the Kindle Expert, for helping me publish the e-book of Loose Change. I worked on getting this done for a year, and Brian finally took me across the finish line. Sara Davidson, N.Y. Times best-selling Author

More Endorsements ★★★★★

"I teach an entrepreneurship course as an Adjunct Professor at a pretty high end B-School. I invited Brian to share his own entrepreneurial experience as well as his insights from 50 Interviews with Entrepreneurs with my students. His ability to not only deliver content, but adapt it to the audience in real time was impeccable. I use guest speakers quite a bit in this particular setting, and Brian is an all time favorite over several years of this particular course. I will always beg him to share some of his insights with any collection of entrepreneurs that I might assembly, and would recommend him as a speaker on the topics of entrepreneurship, self publishing, and franchise creation to anyone interested in getting great content presented with humor, knowledge, honesty, and an awareness of who is actually in the room." ~ Les Makepeace - Source

"Brian is always popular with our clubs. We do not usually have speakers to our national Convention that have already spoken to our local clubs. In Brian's case, we made an exception. Our members love his story, his speaking style and the way each presentation is personalized to the group." ~ Sales Professionals International - Source
