"I attended the first TAA conference in Las Vegas and was very impressed with the other attendees. It was enlightening to talk with other authors, and share our concerns." — Charles P. "Pat" McKeague, a full time writer and a part time instructor at Cuesta College, he has published over 16 textbooks in mathematics, from basic mathematics through trigonometry. Also a TAAF Board Member

From TAA Conference evaluations:

"The convention was well organized and the topics were relevant. It was indeed a pleasure to be exposed to textbook writing on an international level. The warm greetings and atmosphere was most welcoming."

"Most members attending the convention were very friendly. The presentations were interesting and informative. The knowledge gained at this convention will be quite beneficial."

"I thoroughly enjoyed the convention and the knowledge gained was an eye opener and will be quite beneficial."

"It would be beneficial if TAA could find a way to reach people who are thinking about writing before signing a contract. I learned a lot at this conference, both from the sessions and by talking to experienced authors. Being able to talk to Michael Lennie [an authoring agent and attorney who provided free 15-minute sessions to convention attendees] was very valuable."
