Author Speaker Conferences
Real stages. Real audiences. Real book sales.
Published authors take the stage at Global.Media's Author Speaker Conferences to inspire audiences, sharpen their speaking expertise, and sell books in the room. We produce the events in venues across the UK, US, Caribbean, and Africa. You show up and deliver.
A professional keynote slot in front of a built audience. You leave with footage, photos, and testimonials for your speaker one-sheet.
Pre-event speaker coaching to tighten your talk, your hook, and your sell. First-time speakers welcome.
Signing table, purchase flow, and promoted pitch from stage. We handle logistics so you can focus on your audience.
How it works
Step 1. Application
You apply for a speaker slot at an upcoming event. We review your book, your intended talk, and your audience fit. Not every applicant becomes a speaker. We curate for quality.
Step 2. Coaching and prep
Once you're in, we work with you on the talk itself: structure, hook, signature story, and the soft book sell at the end. Most speakers benefit more from the coaching than the stage time, at least the first time out.
Step 3. Event day
You deliver your talk. We handle the venue, the audience, the tech, the photography, the video, and the book-sales flow. You inspire. We produce.
Step 4. Post-event assets
You leave with professionally recorded video of your talk, photographs from the stage, and attendee testimonials. Those become your speaker reel, your LinkedIn content, and your next pitch.
Why most authors struggle on stage
Most first-time speakers make the same three mistakes. They open too slowly, they over-explain their book, and they close without a clear call to action. The result is a good talk that doesn't sell any books and doesn't lead to the next invitation.
Our event production exists to fix this. The coaching isn't optional fluff. It's the difference between leaving with a speaker reel that opens doors for the next twelve months, or leaving with a nice memory.
Who this is for
- Published authors who want to build a paid speaking career on the back of their book.
- Entrepreneurs and coaches who have a book and want to turn it into recurring stage income.
- First-time speakers who want a supported environment, not thrown into a cold room.
- Authors and speakers from across the UK, US, Caribbean, and Africa, particularly those serving African-diaspora business and faith communities.
Frequently asked questions
Who speaks at the Author Speaker Conferences?
Published authors who want to build their public-speaking expertise and reach a new audience in the room. Both first-time stage speakers and experienced authors use our events to sharpen their craft and sell books.
Do speakers pay to be on stage?
Yes. Speaker slots are invested positions. Authors commit a professional-development fee that covers stage time, coaching, event production, audience building, and the right to sell their books from the room. This model keeps attendance free or low-cost for audiences and keeps the content quality high.
Can authors sell books at the event?
Yes. Every speaker is supported to sell their book in the room. We handle the venue, the audience, and the purchase flow. You handle the speech and the signing table.
Where do the events take place?
Venues around the world. Past and scheduled locations include the UK, US, Caribbean, and Africa. We select venues based on audience density, author mix, and market fit.
I'm not a published author yet. Can I still participate?
Typically you need a published book to take the stage, but if you're close to launch we can sometimes fit you into a later event. If you don't have a book yet, start with our book-writing-and-publishing package or our Guaranteed Amazon #1 Bestseller campaign.
