Speaking engagements during 2014
During the years in which I have been a writer I have spoken on many occasions about my life as a writer and how it all came about, and am still doing do so in a wide variety of places and to an even wider variety of audiences. Rotary clubs, Women’s Institutes, Church meetings, U3A meetings to mention but a few, as an after dinner speaker, an after lunch speaker, in libraries, at writers’ tutorials, university meetings, in fact just about everywhere to just about everyone.
We always have a good laugh about incidents that have occurred and my opening line is often “When I was born I was not expected to live. . .” I usually follow my talks with a reading from my latest novel and a question and answer session. I also have had bookmarks printed with all my novels, in the Turnham Malpas series and in the Barleybridge series listed in chronological order and distribute them to everyone. These are wonderfully handy when visiting the library or bookshop!!
I never undertake to promise more than one talk a month. Delighted as I am that my readers invite me to speak I am usually shattered by the time the meeting concludes and need time to recover, to say nothing of needing time to write the current novel (!) and time to fit in family life too!
So if you like the idea make contact with my publisher Orion Books or dash off an e-mail to rebecca@rebeccashaw.me and we’ll see what we can arrange.
