I could have listened to him for at least another hour. It was a fascinating presentation!

Parker Life Senior Living Attendee

Speaker was great! Presentation thoughtfully included enough time at the end for questions, which enhanced the presentation with additional information. Thank you for thinking of such an intriguing topic in the series!

Parker Life Senior Living Attendee

This was one of the best programs you have had. I think you said programs are not taped, but I think you would have given this one a A+++.

Parker Life Senior Living Attendee

I can’t give enough stars. This was wonderful and the questions were thoughtful and answered with the grace and ease of a wonderful presenter.

I thought this program was very interesting. I enjoy my local theater and never knew or even imagined all the ins and outs of putting on a show. I would definitely be interested in any other program by this presenter.”

“James Calaski’s lecture on national, regional, and hyper-local history was professional and highly informative. Our patrons were incredibly engaged, the delivery was well-paced and articulate… We’ll be having him back!”

Brianne Colombo
Director
Glen Rock, NJ Public Library

“Your knowledge of the German American Bund and their history is second to none… Your expertise, both from a historical and research perspective and also in the field, enabled us to capture phenomenal footage for our project… thank you for appearing in our film.”

Annette Baumeister
Documentary Film Director ('The American Führer')

“James Calaski’s gifts as a historian, coupled with his innate skills as a police detective, bring a unique perspective to his work. He is thorough in his research, always going to those places where the facts lead. All that, plus Jim’s personable style and good sense of humor make him an ideal presenter for any group event.”

Arnie Bernstein
Author of 'Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund'

FANTASTIC !!! She is an incredible lecturer. Only wish more time could have been spent on each segment of her presentation. Left me wishing for more. The blend of history and literature was so interesting and informative.

Write And Publish Your Memoir

Can you name your great-grandparents?

Do you know what they dreamed of, fought for, and laughed about?

Rich, full lives vanish after only two generations … unless we do something about it.
• What dreams did you chase?
• What hardships did you triumph over?
• Should your wisdom serve future generations?

No one else has lived your life or seen the world through your eyes.

Whether you sailed oceans, raised a family, built a business, ran the race, or fought for freedom, your authentic story deserves to be preserved.

In this engaging live workshop, you’ll discover a simple way to organize your memories into a compelling book.

Preserve your ideas, experiences, and memories, and leave a meaningful, lasting legacy.

Master The Art Of Storytelling

Why do stories attract and hold our attention like nothing else?

How do the best writers keep us engaged while others fail?

Did you ever finish a mediocre book or movie just to find out how it ended?

Well-crafted stories transport us to distant worlds, convey powerful messages, and keep us turning pages.

In this inspiring session led by author, editor, and transatlantic adventure sailor Dave Bricker, you’ll explore simple strategies for changing hearts, minds, and fortunes with your story.
• Discover the golden rule of storytelling.
• Master the four simple elements of every compelling story.
• Experience how the words we choose connect or deflect.

Find your unique writer’s voice and master the art of storytelling.

Publish Your Story

It has never been easier to publish and share your story. Yet, too many writers spend hundreds of hours crafting a manuscript and less than one exploring how to publish.

This follow-up session—free on ZOOM to attendees of Dave Bricker’s Storytelling and Memoir workshops—reveals transformations in the world of book publishing.

We used to have to print thousands of books to get a good price on printing. Now we can print one at a time.

We used to have to convince a publisher our book was marketable. Now we can publish high-quality books on our own.

This engaging session demystifies the path from manuscript to bookstore.
• Compare traditional publishing, self-publishing, and other options.
• Discover ebooks, audiobooks, and other alternative formats.
• Explore copyright, ISBN numbers, and how to get your book in the Library of Congress.
• Define success and publish with realistic expectations.

Experience the satisfaction of publishing a beautiful book and sharing your story with others.
