About booking Authors

An author brings more to the table than just a good book! These folks are often leaders in their field, industry, or topic of interest. Booking an author as a speaker allows them to give your audience education and insight to the topics of their book or about their field. The authors listed bring all kinds of topics to the table from children's literature and fiction novels to political and religious experts. No matter the subject of interest, you're sure to find an author to match your needs to give a great speech and possibly a book signing.

An insightful and articulate speaker at a corporate event can help individuals, groups, and companies to achieve their potential through a dynamic and insightful speech, seminar or consulting session. Authors/Speakers on GigSalad have written Children's Books, have been Bestselling Authors of Local Interest, Fiction, Religious, Political, Health and/or Nonfiction Titles. GigSalad has premier affordable motivational speakers available to speak to educate, inform, inspire and motivate.

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. Lastly, pay attention to detail in the contract. What are the traveling expenses? If the traveling expenses are too expensive, consider partnering with another organization to host the same speaker during the same time frame.
