There’s lots popping in the offices of Matilija Press and Patricia Fry.
New Book on Public Speaking for Authors
For those of you who don’t know, Matilija Press is my publishing company which I formed in 1983. I’m getting ready to add book number 34 to my list of published books. This one is going to be for authors who want to go out and speak as a way to promote their books. Is there anyone out there who would appreciate some friendly support along these lines? Do you want to know how to conduct yourself while speaking, how to find venues where you can speak on behalf of your nonfiction or even fiction book, how to conduct an in-person interview, how to get involved in appropriate conferences related to the topic or genre of your book, the best way to rehearse your speech, how to create more interesting presentations, etc? What else would you like help with related to public speaking for authors? Let me know so I can include it. PLFry620@yahoo.com.
This will be a rather compact, no hassle ebook. I’ll make an announcement when it is completed.
Kudos for Patricia Fry
While dining with authors Sunday, I sat next to someone who said, “I heard people talking about the presentation you gave at the library Tuesday.” Of course, this statement piqued my interest. I said, “Pray tell—what were they saying?” She said, “All good. They said they could have sat and listened to you for hours—you were such a wealth of information.”
Good to know. Good to hear. Isn’t it heartening to know that you are helping the very group of people you hope to influence with the information and perspective you share? This is satisfying.
If any of you will be near Wadesboro, NC Saturday, I will be speaking at the Carolina’s Writers’ Conference there that afternoon. http://www.ansoncountywritersclub.org
