Praise for Michael Jecks as a Speaker

“Mike was an absolutely delightful and amusing (to say nothing of charismatic) speaker, whether addressing the conference attendees at the closing banquet, participating in a panel, or being interviewed and fielding Q&A from the audience.”

“… but what amazed me – although it probably shouldn’t have – was the outpouring of positive feedback from conference attendees who told me Mike was one of their favourite guests of all our Bloody Words guests of honour.”

“I’d invite him back in a flash”

Cheryl Freedman, BloodyWords Conference 2014, Toronto

Guest speaker at the Society for Editors and Prooreaders 2014

‘Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to Michael for helping create such a wonderful event!’

Heather French, Scarborough Libraries.

‘Please could you pass on to Mike our thanks for his talk on Wednesday; it was so well received, and we’ve had people coming in especially over the last couple of days to say how much they enjoyed it.  His encyclopaedic knowledge of mediaeval history is phenomenal (maybe he should turn to quiz shows to supplement his impoverished author’s income?!) and his humour and warmth made the evening a pleasure for all of us – we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a speaker.’

‘This is just to say thank you very much for all your efforts yesterday. I have received special commendation for your contribution from the participants in your workshop, and enthusiasm for the event overall. I hope that you enjoyed it too, and that your journey home was trouble-free.’

Nicola Royan, Nottingham University

Another use for paper. No email marketing, just good, old-fashioned methods. They work, you know!

‘Many thanks to Michael for a fab evening – with very positive comments from the 39 people that attended! We had a great time too – hope you eventually got the brittle toffee out of your teeth! Would heartily recommend Michael’s talks to anyone out there. Lots of fun, informal and very informative!’

Rachel Gallehawk, Thurrock Libraries

‘Thank-you for your message, I’m glad you all had an enjoyable evening.  We have had lots of feedback from people saying how much they enjoyed the event,and how
interesting they found it.’
