Comments about Marvin Wolf

“A passionate and articulate teacher who can impart the techniques and attitudes required for others to begin operating at a high level.”
Robert Moskowitz, Magazine and book writer

“Marvin Wolf’s seminar … went far beyond the crucial particulars to provide a dynamic view of how the publishing industry functions and how writers can use this knowledge to their advantage.”
Michele Zack, author, journalist, Asia Week correspondent

“A wit and a wizard who makes learning both enjoyable and magical!”
Gerald Everett Jones, Writer-Producer, La Puerta Productions

“He provided me with more knowledge about the writing life and how to live it than any one person I have met, and did it with a humor, wisdom and grace that never failed to hold my attention and ignite my imagination.”
Roberta Edgar, Author and Screenwriter

“One of the most comprehensive and clearest presentations I’ve ever attended a font of information.”
Susan Karlin, award-winning journalist

“A patient, well-organized, knowledgeable teacher.”
David Drum, health and business writer, author of 4 health books including this year’s Alternative Therapies for Managing Diabetes.

“An exceptional teacher. Disarming and affable, he establishes an easy sociable atmosphere in his workshops — and thereby makes learning a pleasure rather than a chore.”
Aram Saroyan, poet, author and filmmaker

“As knowledgeable and articulate on the craft of writing as anyone I know, and a gifted and inspiring teacher.”
James Dalessandro, author of “Citizen Jane,” “Bohemian Heart,” “1906,” and the screenwriter of same, as well as a dozen others.

“His seminars are a must for writers at any stage in their development.”
Andrew Bird, Marketing and Communications Consultant

“A consummate professional as an editor/teacher. He never fails to leave me with practical suggestions and ideas.”
Richard Nemec, Independent Writer/Consultant Los Angeles

“His tireless enthusiasm, expertise, and delight in the writing life – his current project and yours – is an important source of support for my writing. When I needed help for one of my most important projects, I offered to pay him for an hour of his time. It was money well spent. Freelance writing is tough work; I couldn’t imagine doing it without a resource his caliber.”
Lynn Kamm, Writer/editor Rolling Hills Estates

“Marvin Wolf changed my life. When my writing career was at a crossroads, he was the first person I turned to. He guided me through the business in the manner for which he is known: straight to the point, but not without humor. He remains a friend and mentor.”
Ed Robertson, Pop Culture Writer/Television historian, co-author, The Ethics of Star Trek

“His sage, well-considered and to-the-point guidance really brought our project around. His comments and analysis were consistently correct.”
John Merryman, co-author of “Six Steps to Ultimate Self-Healing,” Ballantine, 2002.

“Wolf’s thoughts and input were an important foundation… an insightful and entertaining speaker worth seeing.”
Robin Quinn, Los Angeles book writer and editor specializing in health topics

“His information is solid and deep, rare in a business where so many self-labeled experts, dispense sketchy, often inaccurate pronouncements that blithely mislead those who want to learn.”
Les Boston, Ph.D. Teacher, Editor, Consultant

“The first person I call when I have questions about the business of writing. I don’t think I’ve ever had to call a second.”
Libby Slate, freelance journalist

“There are few with his particular combination of attributes – longevity and diversity of experience, practical success, engaging presentation, desire to teach, and, best of all, good-natured humor.”
Laurie Collister, Staff Writer, Self-Realization Fellowship
