As a presenter, teacher, author, and Toastmaster, I am always delighted to find someone as talented, graceful, and professional as Cristen Iris. She exudes confidence, displays high organizational skills, while being able to deliver each person’s needs in a training setting. She’s a gem in our community, and I’m thankful to know and work with her.
Looking for a Podcast Guest, Workshop Leader, or Panelist?
Cristen's "DIY Editing & Developing Strong Author-Editor Relationships" presentation at the MMM writers' group was super, and the handout is terrific—clear, concise, and utterly useful.
