​Speakers on Site

For groups wishing to host a speaker in person we've taken care of all the details.  Speaker fees include a dynamic presentation, but also all travel arrangements and expenses.  So with no time-consuming travel arrangements to chase, your group is free to concentrate on the details of planning and promoting your event, whether it be a conference, luncheon, meeting, book fair, or fundraiser.  

We offer Speakers who can present an energetic keynote address, a motivational one-hour talk, a stimulating afternoon workshop, or an in-depth full-day seminar.  Your speaker may also choose to stay throughout your event interacting with attendees.
“Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens.”
~ Jimi Hendrix

Our speakers are available for libraries, book clubs, literary societies, writers groups, service organizations, community groups, professional organizations, book fairs, trade groups, writers conferences, and corporations.   Each speaker will provide your group with a fascinating presentation followed by a lively Question and Answer period.   Some speakers also offer workshop sessions where your members will learn the craft of writing from the best.  Enjoy your speaker for an hour, an afternoon, or a weekend.  

We make it easy for you - all the expenses are covered upfront, with no tricky financial discussions affecting your relationship, leaving your group to concentrate solely on making your event a success.


Speakers by Satellite

For a surprisingly low cost your group can have an author or industry professional deliver a personalized presentation via the Internet.  Technology has made this so easy using Skype.  All you need is a computer with an Internet connection, a web camera, microphone, and a free Skype account, plus a screen, and audio speakers large enough to accommodate the room.  

Even small book clubs of a dozen can have an hour with an author for the same cost apiece as a good lunch.  For in-depth workshops we also offer 3-hour presentations.
Is your group a literary or literacy charity,
such as a writers conference or library?
Apply for an August Sharing Program grant to cover a portion of your speaker's fee.



WRITE WELL.  DO GOOD.

Each time you take advantage of our resources - like making a speaker connection - we donate to writing and literacy charities such as writers conferences and reading programs. The more you do, the more good we can do, together.
