Biography

Regina Riney Williams is more than just a keynote speaker--this "publisher" cares about writers and helping them understand the ins and outs of selling books and getting published.

Regina is a rare hybrid of publisher, editor and speaker. Her research, passion for the printed word and ability to engage audiences sets her apart as a standard "publisher/speaker."

Publishing books have changed drastically over the last decade and continues to change on a daily basis. Regina works with writers to help them understand those changes and what it takes to be a best-selling author.

Regina isn't a "guru," she's a writer herself who has the same problems and concerns as her audience. But because she's "been there--done that," her message is to give hope that anyone can write and make a living at it, if they understand what's required of them. She hopes to help others avoid the pitfalls and disasters both she and other writers she's come in contact with avoid those same mistakes.

Deanna Webster, Hemingway-Pfeiffier Museum and Educational Center, retreat coordinator | Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center

I wanted to tell you how much the participants enjoyed your presentation last summer because you gave them many concrete examples and not just "words of wisdom." You are a very organized presenter and I'm sure you're in demand to give workshops. I would like you to come back next summer. Dr. Lamm was very impressed with your presentation as well. His words were, "She's better prepared than some of my colleagues when they go to class. Her presentation was very well planned and delivered.

Barbara Huddleston, president | Ozarks Romance Writers

I just wanted to thank you for speaking at ORA (Ozarks Romance Writers) this month. You have an excellent program. We had such an excellent turn out for your presentation and people still mention what you talked about. In fact, my critique group quotes you on several things, "Our last speaker said..." has become VERY familiar.

Toby Lynn, conference attendee | Heartland Writers Conference

(After my keynote speech), Mr. Lynn said, "Thank you. Your presentation was worth the entry fee alone.
