Best Agent and Mentor Ever

I met Author M. L. Ruscsak a year ago and we just clicked. M.L. is one of the main reasons that I rediscover my passion for writing and being an author, taking the next big leap to send my book to a publisher. Having Cerebral Palsy myself, she helped me with her story of being a stroke victim. To me, M.L. is a Rock Star!!!!

M. L. Ruscsak is my Hero!

This lady has done it all! You would Never believe she's recovered from a stroke!

M. L. is an author with an amazing book series (Of Lite and Dark). In it, a woman of fae blood has to prove that her world is not truly lost. She seems cruel at first, but stay tuned! M. L. Ruscsak brings to life a vivid world of fantasy with loss and perseverance. She has a great hook, and you won't want to put the book down!

M. L. Ruscsak is an agent for Wild Dream Publishing for books-turned-into-scripts for movies. Yes, she also writes the scripts! She contacts all the big dogs and sets up everything. Her hands are in so many pots, I don't know how she does it.

I really look up to this amazing woman. Hats off to you, M. L. Ruscsak!

What to expect

As a seasoned corporate speaker, I excel in facilitating enlightening and engaging discussions that leave an indelible mark on my discerning audience. Embracing my unique perspective as a person with disabilities, I eschew the glitz and glamour of high-impact presentations with flashy lights and deafening music. Instead, my hallmark is the delivery of authentic and captivating sessions, reminiscent of town hall-style gatherings.

I firmly believe in the transformative potential of audience interaction and tailor my presentations to harness this power effectively. Depending on the topic and the nature of the event, I may incorporate subtle props, employ compelling PowerPoint videos, or even use my trusted old wheelchair and cane to vividly illustrate key points.

The setup for my presentations is characterized by its efficiency, with the entire process requiring no more than a swift 30 minutes. My expertise spans a diverse spectrum of subjects, encompassing crucial areas such as anti-bullying initiatives for educational institutions, sharing profound insights derived from my experiences as an accomplished author and filmmaker, and imparting wisdom on the intricate domains of marketing, entrepreneurship, and the art of running a thriving business.

Furthermore, I approach the sensitive and vital topic of domestic violence with the utmost care and sensitivity. My approach creates a safe and nurturing environment for audiences to delve into this deeply impactful issue, fostering meaningful dialogues and learning experiences.
