Speaking Engagement Pitch Deck
$149
Show event organizers the speaker, message, and audience experience behind your book.
Receive a professionally written and designed Speaking Engagement Pitch Deck that transforms the ideas, expertise, and experiences behind your book into a compelling presentation for event organizers, conference planners, organizations, and other potential hosts.
Use your deck to pursue keynotes, workshops, panels, author talks, virtual presentations, community programs, and other appropriate speaking opportunities.
Turn Your Book into a Speaking Platform
Your book can do more than introduce readers to your ideas. It can become the foundation for presentations, conversations, workshops, and other programs that allow you to share your message directly with an audience.
Give Them a Reason to Put You on the Program
Potential hosts need more than an author biography or book description. They need to understand what you can talk about, who your presentation is for, what audiences may take away from it, and why you are the right person to deliver that message.
Present More Than Your Book
Your custom presentation positions you as the speaker while using your book as the foundation for your message, expertise, topics, and potential audience experience.

Example: So Now You're a Widow by Bonnie Merryfield demonstrates how a Speaking Engagement Pitch Deck can transform a book's subject matter and an author's experience into a speaking platform, highlighting relevant presentation topics, appropriate audiences and organizations, and ways the author could contribute to conferences, events, and other programs.
Think Beyond a Traditional Author Talk
The ideas behind one book may lend themselves to different types of programs. Your deck can help potential hosts envision how you and your message might fit their particular audience and format.
Your Book Is the Beginning of the Conversation
A book can establish the ideas, stories, research, expertise, or lived experience behind your message. A Speaking Engagement Pitch Deck takes the next step by showing potential hosts how those elements can become a presentation designed for an audience.
Make It Easier to Envision You on the Program
A pitch deck cannot make an organizer's booking decision, but it can give that organizer a clearer picture of your message, potential topics, audience fit, experience, and possible presentation formats in one polished resource.
Creation or use of a Speaking Engagement Pitch Deck does not guarantee speaking engagements, event acceptance, paid appearances, audience size, book sales, publicity, or other outcomes.
