Nothing makes you an authority like being an author. The highest speaking fees and the best consulting gigs go to people with books. With a book, you can reach people who will never have the chance to hear you speak.

If you’re a successful speaker, you already have what you need to become an author: expertise and a compelling way to present it to an audience. You’re already doing one of the best things an author can do to promote a book: speaking in public. Every presentation you give is an opportunity for back-of-room sales. Publishers love this.

Author-izer and Collabowriter Sallie Goetsch shows you how to take your presentations, trainings, workshops, and keynote speeches and turn them into a book. If you can speak, you can write. What are you waiting for?

Join the Business Speakers by the Bay on November 4, 2005 to learn:

  • How to overcome the obstacles to writing
  • How to write without writing
  • Why publishers want authors who are speakers
  • New ways to use speaking to promote your book

Because the venue is a bit noisy, I may not be able to record the presentation. Besides, it’s so much more fun to do these things in person. And we want everyone to benefit from the experiences of other Bay Area speakers with authoring and promoting books.

Sponsored by Business Speakers by the Bay. Please RSVP to Craig Harrison (craig@craigspeaks.com). Hope to see you there!

Comment policy

Comments are moderated to prevent spam. If you’ve never had a blog, you have no idea how many spambots are out there posting bogus and generally offensive comments. If you don’t see your comment right away, don’t panic. I’ll get to it as soon as I can. Remember that I do sleep, generally between 9 PM and 6 AM Pacific time, and I’ve been known to go on vacation or be offline because I’m working with a client.

  • Please provide your real name and e-mail, unless you think you would get fired for leaving the comment. And if it’s something you don’t want your boss to see, you probably shouldn’t be putting it online.
  • Be polite. You’re welcome to disagree with my opinions, correct my errors, and so forth, but do so in a civilized manner. Personal attacks and obscenities are not permitted. (I shouldn’t have to say that, but there are people out there who get their jollies trying to provoke a fight. They’re referred to as “trolls.”)
  • If you’re a vendor, you can plug your product in a comment, but make sure it’s relevant to the discussion at hand, and disclose your relationship with the company. If you can’t meet those criteria, just pitch me instead. You’ll probably get better coverage than you would from the comment anyway.
  • Be reasonable about linking. If what you write is interesting, people will follow the link you fill in at the top of the page. If you want to refer us to a related article, great. Beyond that, restrain yourself.

Comments that do not adhere will be deleted or marked as SPAM.
