"Rick hired me as a publicist when I first arrived in New York fresh from two years as a copywriter for Amazon, and though I spent just enough time at Planned Television Arts to realize I was going to be a much better freelance writer than a publicist, Rick and his team were very patient and understanding about that--and they taught me some valuable lessons about how to call attention to books and writers that have been helpful at every stage of my subsequent career. Not to mention his own handbooks have been helpful as well!" Ron Hogan, publicist, Planned Television Arts
"Okay, this is the guy. I first met Rick Frishman at a publishing seminar in New York about four years ago. We've spoken and interacted many times since. His depth of knowledge in so many diverse entrepreneurial arenas literally blew me away. His stage skills as a speaker, his knowledge of the publishing industry, promotions, advertising, technology and information marketing...he's on the crest of the wave, riding ahead of most. I've had the honor to call him my friend, professionally and personally. Recently I was a guest on one of his teleseminars and we put out more usuable high-content in one hour than most events like this give you in a lifetime. He has integrity and a passion for excellence. If you're considering doing business with Rick Frishman, stop procrastinating and write the check already or drop your credit card in his website now. This man always gives 1000% multiples of value. JIM" Jim Ziegler, CSP, HSG, Professional Speaker, Ziegler Dynamics, inc.
"I met Rick at a conference hosted by Steven E regarding the "Wake Up and Live the Life you Love" book Series. Rick was one of the key note speakers and I was hungry to learn. I took over 15 pages of notes in 90 mnutes and have subscribed to his electronic newsletter now going on three years. His business sense is powerful and suggestions and tips to getting your books out there are very helpful. I would recommend Rick as a "book coach" mentor. Subscribe to his newsletter and get a feel for a truly remarkable man." Kathleen Hudson, CEO, HIS Service Inc

"...I Rick Frishman was outstanding:bright,
funny and very generous with information. I just KNOW I will eventually
get on Oprah! Another reason I know it will happen is that, besides
the fact that I am now armed with plenty of info on how to do it,
I know how to manifest into my life what I want." Mary Beth Spann Minucci
"Usually when I take classes like this, I
leave early because there are so few trains to my town. With Rick's
class, I learned so much about publicity that I forgot about the
trains. I got home real late and had trouble waking up the next
morning. But I didn't care. It was worth it." Paul Kanter
"It was great! I've learned to stop taking
so many notes in classes so I can better absorb the material. But,
in this class, I could hardly put my pen down. Rick gave us so much
valuable and relevant information! I felt I could get started with
my own publicity campaign right away!"
"Rick Frishman is a genuine expert who eagerly
shared vast amounts of practical information, revealing anecdotes
and insider secrets. I worked in a first-rate public relations agency
for nine years and I still learned dozens of new strategies. Guerilla
Publicity is definitely one of the very best Learning Annex classes
I've taken."
"Rick Frishman is a wonderful speaker on
PR. He was very inspirational. Though I was not interested in publicizing
any books or products of my own, he greatly influenced my decision
to peruse a career in public relations. I thoroughly enjoyed it."
"Despite the cold room, the environment was
comfortable. Mr. Frishman is a talented man who is well crafted
in his profession. He offered great advice and if I walked out of
the class learning one thing, then my goal was accomplished."
"...Rick Frishman was great... he shared
practical information... let you know when he thought a particular
area would be a challenge to break into. I thought that was honest.
He appeared to be a great person to work with. He shared information
that a person could use (TODAY), without having to purchase his
book... for that reason, I will buy his book (there is probably
a whole lot more very useful information)...Thanks... a definite
keeper."
"...I got some new ideas that I began to
implement the very next day. I appreciated the handouts and have
since purchased the book. Rick was both knowledgeable and entertaining."
"He gave a lot of good, practical advice
in an entertaining way. He is excellent."
