When booking an Author to speak at your event, be sure you have your event details (date, time, location, topic, etc.) and budget lined up before you contact the Author. Next up, you should book well in advance. Some speakers are booked months or years in advance. However, in some situations you might be able to book less than 60 days in advance.
