Julie Broad (recorded live from an airport) gives a practical primer for authors who want to use speaking engagements to promote books or grow their business. She defines three talk types—keynote (big-idea, often paid), breakout (tactical shorter sessions), and workshop (longer, interactive)—and explains which book content fits each format. She also covers where to find gigs (libraries, associations, meetups, submission forms), tips for standing out (don’t read your book verbatim, bring new stories, create chapter-outcome talks), and tradeoffs of virtual vs in-person events. The video includes audience Q&A, examples from Julie’s experience, and live prize giveaways.
