About Allen:

Just on the strength and uniqueness of his ideas, Allen Fahden has gotten the attention of people in groups of up to 50 million.

His One-Book Book Store, ReadDundant, appeared in People Magazine, on ABC News, the BBC, National Public Radio and in major city newspapers. The store featured only Fahden’s book in 13 different departments.

His promotion for the Portland Beavers, during the Enron scandal (Arthur Andersen Appreciation Night) got him on CNN and ESPN. “It costs $5 to get into the ball game, but we give you a receipt for $10 for tax purposes.”

Fahden has worked with clients Paul McCartney on his food venture and Bill Murray on his professional baseball teams.

As a speaker he appeared for 20 of the top 100 companies in the world, ranging from Amazon.com to Coca-Cola, GE and Disney. Shell Oil reported that using Allen’s techniques saved them a million dollars per team. Allen’s systems gave Qwest a 38% sales increase and division sales grew from $20 million to $60 million over the next two years.

Allen’s profile that streamlines innovation has sold more than a million copies worldwide.

He has written several books, including chapters on strength-based work for the best-selling book The One Minute Millionaire by Chicken Soup for the Soul author Mark Victor Hanson.

Allen spoke at the first Fortune Magazine Innovation Forum alongside Warren Buffet and the CEOs of the top Fortune 500 corporations. He has trained and entertained audiences in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany, and Spain.

ABOUT The Nonfiction Authors Association - Sacramento Chapter:
We meet on the second Wednesday each month to discuss the business side of writing, publishing and promoting nonfiction books. First-time visitors to an NFAA local chapter are not required to be members of the Nonfiction Authors Association, however, if you’d like to return to a second meeting and beyond, we do ask that you join us online (free membership level is available): http://NonfictionAuthorsAssociation.com .

Experienced and aspiring writers of nonfiction are welcome to attend! Attendees are also invited to participate in our unique Mastermind Group Spotlight where three to five participants can present an issue, question or challenge related to the publishing journey and receive feedback from the rest of the group. This is a wildly popular feature of our meetings!

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT a leads group. If your primary objective is to sell something, this isn't the group for you. We are here to support each other on the publishing journey.

Please be sure to tell a friend who might also enjoy our group!
