While in the Natchitoches, LA area, Von Kanel led a “Get Published Seminar” sponsored by the Natchitoches Parish Library. With 40 writers in attendance, Hope Fergusen of Natchitoches said,

“I came away informed, organized, and inspired with a renewed zeal for writing. The conversations I heard as people were leaving were positive in regard to what they’d just heard. I think people were realizing they could write in more than one style / venue and that they should write more. Overall, I believe they were encouraged and pleased that they had learned how to go about submitting their writings to publishers. Many thanks for putting forth the effort to assist aspiring writers.”

Von Kanel has two books published, “Built by the Owner’s Design” (The Positive Approach to Building Your Church God’s Way), 2003 and “Building Sunday School by the Owner’s Design” (100 Tools for Successful Kingdom Growth), 2005 by CSS Publishing.
