More about Ken

  • "Ken Wytsma's book Create Vs Copy was recommended to me nearly a year ago by Parker Hathaway, one of our Brain Trust members. After reading it, I was convinced that his message—the robust and yet accessible theology of creativity that it contains—was a perfect one for the publishing professionals who attend ECPA's PUBu, regardless of the discipline they work in. I'm grateful for the support of Moody Publishers and the vision that Stan Jantz of ECPA had to integrate Ken for the opening and closing plenary sessions. If you've never heard Ken or read his works, you're in for a treat! And if you have, you already know what you will get—winsome wisdom and a compelling charge for your work in publishing."
