What People Say About Working With Me
Very Well Structured
“After retiring from my professional job, I looked for other activities that could provide passive income. After two months of searching on YouTube, I was intrigued and signed up for Ken's class. Although English isn't my first language, I was able to follow each module well because it was delivered in a simple and well-structured manner. In December 2025, I ventured out to publish my first book, and the results met my expectations.”
One of the Better Online Programs Out There
“I've invested quite a bit in online courses. Most overpromise and underdeliver. Not Publisher Master Academy.
Within a few months of enrolling, I published my first book onto KDP platform using PMA methods I received exactly the results taught by founder Ken Fornari. What I like about Ken's teaching style is his no-nonsense, straightforward approach. If you do the work, the results will be there. He's not a YouTube influencer; he's a coach/educator. I think that style suits most people in the program.
It's an excellent community of like-minded individuals all working towards building a sustainable business. Ken is a terrific mentor/coach. So if looking for an affordable program that provides soup-to-nuts curriculum on starting and succeeding in KDP Publishing, I'd recommend enrolling in PMA.”
I Wish That I Had Found Ken's Program…
“I wish that I had found Ken's program first before launching two books/planners. While my content was solid, I learned about keyword validation and the nuances in every step of the process from a high-performer ... and I know that I wouldn't have published what I originally did. Save yourself time in the learning curve because Ken is totally hands-on with spot on guidance. The community is also wonderfully supportive and able to offer sound advice from multiple perspectives. Ken should actually charge more than what he does for this course and community. Very grateful to be here.”
I'm Still Kind of New to the Whole…
“I'm still kind of new to the whole thing, but Ken could not have created a better space for this. An engaged community always interacting, answering questions, offering up suggestions, etc… It's a much more conducive environment to learn and grow an online business if that's your goal. On the actual course content side, absolutely brilliant, I'm anxiously awaiting the launch of my first book, but Ken's material, examples, weekly calls etc all help me feel confident in that I've done the work, and I will see success.”
Ken's Community Is Outstanding
“Ken's community, as well as the program, are outstanding. The one course that gives you a proven KDP framework without any fluff and full of practical hands-on lessons. The community feels like a family; everyone is answering questions and the weekly Q&A sessions with Ken are priceless. Highly recommended!”
Ken Is a Breath of Fresh Air
“Ken is a breath of fresh air. He engages fully and his classroom course is fantastic. I am a teacher myself so know how valuable it is to be there for your learners. He is open and honest and pulls you back up when you falter. Love the group, everyone is so supportive and eager to share thoughts. I chose Kens group because he was the only one that gave a genuine pathway journey to success on KDP, no false promises of rainbows, just pure gold advice of how to succeed. If you are willing to put the work in and follow his strategy you will get there! I'm half way through the course and I've learned so much already, stuff that other you tubers 'don't reveal' he puts out there with full transparency. Cost is also another factor, it's actually affordable in small monthly payments rather than a heart stopping big lump that very few people can come up with nowadays. He has made it accessible to anyone who wants to learn KDP. Would also say his templates and techniques are better than any of the chrome extensions I've tried. There are weekly live meet ups for Q&As which you can also watch later if you've missed it and you can meet with him on a 1-1 for a chat. No hidden costs, just an open honest course and support group. I would highly recommend PMA and Ken to anyone wanting to learn KDP - If you want to earn, you have to learn!”
Professional and Competent
“We engaged several consultants but didn't find success. Our goal was to enhance our understanding of KDP marketing and develop a sustainable strategy. Eventually, we were fortunate to join the PMA and meet Ken. Ken is a reliable and competent professional who shares his experience with no secrets, trying to help the entire community.”
Excellent Host and Program
“Publisher Mastery Academy consists of a course and a community – both excellent, especially for a beginner in self-publishing like me.
Ken's course is a very detailed and informative program that guides you step by step through the self-publishing process. Ken has a calm and practical way of explaining his method which I find very engaging, and he offers the opportunity to send intermediate steps such as keyword, book title, book cover etc. to him for approval. You can also book a one-on-one coaching call with him if you need more guidance.
The community keeps growing and is filled with kind, supportive people who actively help each other and encourage one another along the way. Ken is very involved in the community, responding to questions promptly, hosting weekly Q&A calls (which are recorded for those who can't attend), and continuously adding new features.
For the value the program offers it's very affordable. Highly recommended!”
Excellent, Practical KDP Training with Great Support
“I found Ken through his YouTube channel and decided to join Publisher Mastery Academy after spending more than a year trying to make progress with KDP on my own.
What I really like about the course is how clearly everything is laid out. Ken takes you through the process step by step, making what can sometimes feel complicated much easier to understand and apply. The training is practical, thorough, and focused on building a system you can use repeatedly.
The weekly video calls are another big advantage. Ken is very approachable and responsive to questions, and the calls provide a great mix of Q&A and practical training, including seeing him work through things like keyword research and validation in real time.
Overall, I've found the course to be excellent value and the ongoing support has made a real difference. I'm very pleased I joined and feel much more confident moving forward with my KDP publishing journey.”
Finally—A Course That Connects the Dots
“Since starting my publishing business, I've watched countless YouTube videos and taken a paid program. Some were helpful and I learned a lot, but my business results didn't reflect the time and effort I put in. I often wished I had someone who could oversee the entire process and guide me in the right direction. Then I found Ken's PMA course.
This training is incredibly practical and walks you through specific challenges and solutions step by step. Ken is also very responsive to questions. What I appreciated most was his honest, insightful feedback on every key stage of the publishing process. It gave me clarity on what to fix and how to improve before moving forward. Being able to apply what I learned directly to my own journey made all the difference.
If you're feeling lost or unsure whether you're on the right path, this PMA course could be exactly what you need.”
The Only KDP Course You'll Ever Need to Take
“I joined PMA on November 2, 2024, after watching Ken's videos for several months on YouTube about being a self-publisher with Amazon KDP.
I got a lot out of Ken's YouTube videos, liked his style of presenting, and wanted to see if I could further my self-publishing journey by joining PMA. I wasn't disappointed.
Ken presents everything naturally and clearly, without any fluff. There's no selling - just straightforward, cut-and-dry information. The course includes everything you need: a full curriculum, tools, and templates, all focused on what works on KDP, why it works, and how to implement it. And Ken is there to guide you through the entire process.
He's approachable and available when needed, and on top of that, being part of a like-minded community, who also provide valuable insights, is an incredible bonus I hadn't really considered before joining.
The most valuable lesson I learned from PMA (and directly from Ken) when I first started going through the material was knowing what books not to create and publish. Before joining, I wasted too much time creating dead books (ones that wouldn't sell). Removing this inefficiency and focusing on books that actually have sales potential has transformed my approach and given me clarity and direction.
I now fully understand what makes a book successful on Amazon KDP, and I'm on my way to achieving my ultimate goal: becoming a full-time self-published author.
I highly recommend joining PMA to anyone serious about success with KDP. I don't think you'll find better value - or more importantly, better information - anywhere else.”
I Definitely Recommend PMA
“I definitely recommend PMA by Ken Fornari to anyone who wants to dive into the world of publishing High-Content books. The academy offers incredible value, providing practical tools and strategies not only for writing but also for effective publishing. The knowledge Ken Fornari shares with participants is clear and easy to apply in practice. I really appreciate that before every step, you can learn exactly what to do, which is extremely helpful, especially for beginners. It's an investment that is definitely worth it!”
The PMA Program Is One of the Best…
“The PMA program is one of the best currently available. Ken's coaching is on point - as well as coaching guidance of wisdom. Teach that to win with publishing it's simple data & numbers that win the day with success”
Ken's Program Has Been Incredible!!
“Ken's program has been incredible! I have been following his YouTube channel for a while and find his lessons jam-packed with fantastic information. He is honest and forth-coming and will give you his opinion when asked. It is great to be a part of a group that genuinely cares about one another and has such valuable wisdom.
I would recommend his academy to ANYONE interested in learning about self-publishing. Five stars, hands down!”
Publisher Mastery Academy: 5 Stars All Day!!!!
“I have really enjoyed learning all about the publishing process from Ken. He is such a great teacher! His videos are very thorough, and he always makes sure to answer any questions that we may have. I have also taken another course to learn about publishing, but this course has thousands of people in it, so it's hard to get a real grasp on all of the information in an efficient way. Ken breaks the whole process down, A to Z, without any fluff!! He shows the exact process to become a successful new publisher. I am so thankful that I came across his course and am happy to support a fellow publisher who is also a great human!!”
Publisher Master Academy is Step-by-Step Training That Delivers Real Results!
“I discovered Ken through his YouTube channel and decided to join Publisher Mastery Academy after struggling with my KDP journey for over a year. I had already tried three other paid programs with little success, but Ken's course stands out as a well-structured, repeatable system designed to help others achieve real results.
What I appreciate most is the step-by-step approach that makes complex concepts easy to follow. The training is methodical, detailed, and practical, addressing common challenges along the way. Ken is highly responsive to questions, and his weekly video calls are a fantastic resource—whether you attend live or watch the replays later. Some calls are open Q&A sessions, while others provide in-depth training where you can watch him work through tasks like keyword validation in real time.
This program delivers exceptional value, reinforcing key lessons and providing ongoing support. I'm really glad I joined and confident it will help me reach my publishing goals!”
Love the Course and the Community
“Ken is more than a mentor, he is somewhat of a magician. He magically transforms the complex into easy and practical steps.
If like me, you need a clear path to follow, then you are in the right place, because that is what Ken offers with his unique and logical approach.
Not only is he a great teacher, he is also genuinely invested in your success and gives generously of his time to help you achieve that. He may start out as a mentor, but will surely end up as a dear friend.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, or stressed, and believe there must be a simpler way, then Ken's course and mentorship is the gift you give yourself!”
I'm Not One to Typically Do This
“I'm not one to typically do this, but I want to give a shout to Ken for the personal assistance he provides. His help has been invaluable in the process and recommendations he has made. It actually feels like I'm his only client. His response time, detail, and going the extra mile is becoming difficult to find anywhere. Let alone from a guy you've never met and a Canadian at that! I'm beyond pleased to be a member.”
