Response from Valerie J Lewis Coleman:
Hi, Trish. Thanks so much for your feedback on my relationship presentation at Warren Correctional Institution's women's conference.
She's awesome! Her presentation is not only informative and power-packed, but hilariously funny and engaging. She keeps you on the edge of your seat, begging for both more knowledge and humor. You won't want to leave her class when it's over!
Recently I attended two of Valerie's writing workshops and they were both amazing & informative. I greatly look forward to working with her in the future!!
Ms. Lewis Coleman has a true knack for the entire process from writing to publishing. She interjects flavor, excitement and her own experiences which allows you a personal look into her journey. And she also provides many realistic and teachable moments and gives information, praise and guidance with no limits. This woman's a winner!
After attending a networking event for my daughter, Kristina, my family and I met 3 authors to which two of them told us about Valerie Coleman - she wasn't at the event, but they spoke highly of her. Later, we received an email from her introducing herself and offering to help us on our journey. She came to my daughter's first official book signing at Kroger and gave us tips that have proven to be extremely helpful. In addition, she believed in my daughter's so much that she sponsored her as a featured author at the upcoming event, the Dayton Book Expo. And she has told others about her. Valerie is a great role model, mentor, and teacher! We look forward to working with her and we highly recommend her.
You came with a great deal of information that was very helpful. You were funny too which made the workshop very lively.
The writer's workshop class facilitated by Valerie, was the most informative workshop I have attended. The information was invaluable in that it provided a clear vision into the not so clear world of publishing. I purchased the series on publishing from beginning to end. I have witnessed the pit-falls she spoke about and it helped me to steer clear of rip-off publishing companies. Thanks Valerie for empowering me!
Valerie Coleman was hired to present editing at our annual event this year at the 2011 A Writer's Vision Literary Symposium. She was absolutely outstanding and all the attendees were attentive and found her presentation full of energy and useful information. Several of the attendees commented that we must bring her back next year and give her more time to speak!
Response from Valerie J Lewis Coleman:
Thanks, Nawassa. I appreciate the opportunity to equip the attendees of A Writer's Vision to become bestselling authors.
Valerie J Lewis Coleman spoke at a writer's symposium I attended. I enjoyed every speaker, but she was my absolute favorite. I could have easily listened to her twice as long. Her information was interesting, useful and timely. She kept me enthralled the entire time she spoke. She was witty and her presentation was full of humor. I think I had a smile on my face the entire time. As a teacher, I kept thinking how my colleagues would enjoy and benefit from Ms. Coleman's presentation. I felt fortunate to be in attendance and hear her speak. In all honesty, if I ever have the opportunity to hear Ms. Coleman speak again at an event, I will be there and make sure I invite others.
God has definitely given Valerie J Lewis Coleman a great gift of presentation. She turns hours of what would be a boring Powerpoint presentation into a laugh fest! With concrete examples and fresh, innovative ideas, she is definitely a great publisher and presenter. I've seen her present in numerous venues and the results remain the same: authors walk away empowered, enlightened and ready for success in the industry.
