Merien Grey has been teaching professionally for fifteen years and been a paid speaker on the literary scene for five. She believes all aspiring authors can bring something to the teaching table and build their reputation by teaching what they already know or what they are willing to learn, even if they aren’t published yet. She will be teaching authors how to find relevant and interesting material in their own backgrounds, how to build engaging one hour presentations, how to present them in a dynamic manner at meetings, conferences and online to build an author’s reputation, and if they are good, even make some money. She will also cover how to promote and market yourself effectively as a speaker.
