Praise for Mark Leslie Lefebvre
––––––––
Mark was a critical hire at a critical time for Kobo. We knew independent publishing was a growing phenomenon in eBooks but needed the right person to create that all-important bridge with the author community. Mark performed that role perfectly, winning authors over to Kobo Writing Life with his combination of energy, lived experience as an author, genuine enthusiasm for how technology could extend a writer’s reach. A truly valuable person.
—Michael Tamblyn, CEO at Rakuten Kobo, Inc.

Mark was a regular guest speaker for our students in the Creative Writing Program, at SFU Continuing Studies. His talks balanced providing encouraging information with the business realities of publishing. Our writers went away feeling excited about the publishing opportunities available to them, but also understood that though it is simple to publish through KWL or Amazon, success requires hard work. I personally enjoyed each one of Mark's presentations and would learn something new each time.
—Andrew Chesham, Simon Fraser University

His broad knowledge of publishing provided me with valuable contacts, reference materials and a couple of great ideas to move my writing and publishing projects forward. I highly recommend any way you can find time to spend with him - great value at half the price you'd expect! new each time.
—Mark Jones, Author

Mark is a pro. His decades of experience and continuing relevance (staying on the leading edge of publishing is no small feat in this climate) is a major asset to anyone looking to improve their position in the market...and not drive themselves insane in the process. That is gold. He is genuine, innovative, smart and seriously easy to work with. Highly recommend booking his 20-minute free consult, it can change everything.
— Sarah Kades, Author
