Testimonials

  • Very thorough!…[Pariah] clearly knows a ton about the whole world of eBooks. The InDesign work will help me produce my first eBook with the “enhanced” features that I didn’t know how to do.
    —Tali, Astrostyle
  • Pariah is a great speaker and so much fun to listen to. He has a great way of giving both overviews and specifics.
    —Aimee, The Creative Slant

I liked that a wide breadth of content was covered…I gained a better understanding and more ammunition on how to explain that creating ePublications, both interactive and for eReaders, isn’t just a magic click of a button like management seems to think.
    —Paul, St. Mary’s Press
