Here's what people are saying about Nina Amir's ability to speak before an audience:

"One of the best parts of Nina Amir's speaking style is that she makes the audience feel that what she does is something that they can do. As she shares her way towards finding a common ground with her listeners, her clarity and easy pace depicts her as a considerate and confident person; the kind of person that you want to listen to. In sharing the ups and downs of her own process, she makes the journey to success seem less bumpy. By mixing story telling with process, she helps the audience share her point of view, and capture a vision of what they can accomplish with her advice." -- Dr. Ralph DeAmicis, Professional Speaker and Author of Feng Shui and the Tango in the Age of the Smart Phone
 

"I liked the five bullet points in 5 Things Every Nonfiction Writer Needs to Publish a Book, which made it simple.  Good content.  I knew a lot of this due to having worked on a proposal for a while, but it was helpful for others. Things I didn’t know: Knowing what’s most and least important to agents/publishers. I thought it was interesting that one needed a proposal even for independent publishing (and I let someone else know this). The need for “chutzpah” was the most surprising thing. Also, Nina also seems to have a fun personality when speaking. I came up to discuss coaching because she seems to know the industry and to have had some success with getting people agents/published." -- Georgia Platt


"I attended your presentation on March 9, 2010, at the monthly meeting of the South Bay Writers chapter of the California Writer's Club. Your talk was titled "5 Things Every Author Need To Publish a Nonfiction Book." It focused on tips for nonfiction authors like me. I enjoyed hearing your principles and will be putting them to use. You stressed having an idea that solves a problem, developing a solid pitch to market it, establishing a platform of techniques to promote it, writing a winning proposal to the the book published, and to be bold in pursuit of your passion...Thank you for a great presentation." -- Rick Deutsch, Professional Speaker and Author, President of Carpe Diem Experience
