Join WNBA-San Francisco for a fun and informative conversation on the importance of public speaking for authors. 

Bobbie Carlton, founder of the Innovation Women speakers platform, will be in conversation with WNBA-SF networking ambassador Debra Eckerling. 

Public speaking is a powerful – and necessary – tool to help authors build their audience and boost book sales. In this lunch n learn, you’ll discover how how speaking—whether in a bookstore, on stage, or on a podcast—can help you connect with more readers and make a bigger impact. It doesn’t matter if you write fiction or nonfiction, short or long-form. Speaking helps bring your message, experience, and/or characters to life, and gives people a reason to want more. 

Learn:

  • Why speaking is essential for authors
  • Tips for crafting a compelling author talk
  • How to use speaking to grow your author platform
  • Ways to get out of your head, so you are more likely to get onto the stage 
  • And more!

Whether you are a new or seasoned author, there is a lot to gain from this conversation.
