Why Every Speaker Needs to Write a Book: Unlocking New Opportunities, Income, and Influence
If you’re a professional speaker, you already know the power of your voice. You’ve felt the energy in the room shift as you share your story, your expertise, and your passion. But what if I told you that your greatest tool for expanding your reach, boosting your credibility, and increasing your income isn’t just your voice, it’s your book!
The Book: Your Ultimate Business Card
In today’s competitive speaking industry, having a published book is more than just something that’s nice to have. It’s a game change and here’s why:
Instant Credibility - A book positions you as an authority in your field. Event organizers, corporations, and conference planners are always looking for experts who stand out. When you’re an author, you’re immediately seen as someone with depth, commitment, and expertise.
Expanded Reach - Your voice can only reach so many people in a room. But your book? It can travel the world, opening doors you never imagined. Readers become fans, fans become clients, and suddenly, your message is making an impact from beyond the stage.
Higher Speaking Fees - Speakers with published books command higher fees, period. A book is tangible proof of your knowledge and experience. It’s a value add for event organizers, and many will purchase books in bulk for their attendees, putting more money directly in your pocket.
New Revenue Streams - Beyond speaking, your book can generate passive income through sales, licensing, and even spin-off products like online courses, workbooks, or coaching programs.
Deeper Audience Connection - A book allows you to share your story in a way that’s lasting and intimate. Readers get to know you on a deeper level, building trust and loyalty that translates into more speaking engagements and long-term relationships.
But What If You’re Too Busy to Write a Book?
Moment of honesty, most successful speakers are busy professionals like yourself. Your calendar is filled to the rim. The thought of sitting down to write a book or go through the publishing process of your completed manuscript can feel overwhelming or even impossible.
This is where Figure of Speech Literary Services comes in.
How Figure of Speech Literary Services Can Help You Become a Published Author
I first began my publishing career in 2007 with a novel that went on to become a Walden Books bestseller. Since that time, I have published 10 books (4 anthologies, 2 novels, 4 self-help books) with 2 of the anthologies becoming Amazon bestsellers. In addition to being a published author, I’ve been speaking on stages and selling my books at conferences (without purchasing a table as a vendor) for 16 years.
Behind the scenes I’ve taken my knowledge and helped other speakers and indie authors to craft their great ideas into published manuscripts and generate new streams of income. From the accountant who wanted to publish the manuscript for a novel he’d written years ago, to the mental health therapist who had a great idea for a time management workbook but didn’t know where to start, I’ve assisted a variety of professionals to bring their literary work to life.
Now through Figure of Speech Literary Services, I am continuing to help busy professionals like you become published authors without the stress, overwhelm, or endless rewrites.
Personalized VIP Intensive: I guide you through every step, fm brainstorming your big idea to outlining, drafting, and polishing your manuscript.

Publishing Support: I handle the logistics - editing, book cover design, layout and formatting, and publishing, so you can focus on what you do best: inspiring others.
