Book publishing for Speakers
As a professional speaker without a book, you are leaving money on the table. Your book is what turns a keynote from an event into a career asset. Quartz Press publishes books for professional and keynote speakers who want the full value of the stage they earned, and we would like yours to be one of them.
Book a Strategy CallWhy you should write your speaker book
- Higher fees. As a published author, you will command meaningfully higher keynote fees than unpublished speakers with the same talk. Your book is the justification.
- Better bookings. Event organisers shortlist speakers they can promote, and your book is the easiest thing for them to promote.
- Back-of-room sales. Your book sold after the talk turns every keynote into a product launch. Direct sales via Print Trail make your bulk event orders painless.
- Funnel into business. Your book is the handoff from stage to sales call. Audiences who loved your talk pick up the book, finish it, and book the consultation.
- Bureau representation. Speakers bureaus prefer authors. Your book is the single easiest thing to put in a pitch email to a booker.
The kind of book that will work for you
Your book will be the written version of your keynote, the same framework, the same stories, the same examples, expanded into a form your reader can absorb at their own pace. It is the thing your audience buys because they want more of what they just heard.
The trap is writing a book that is just a transcript of the talk. Your book has to earn its page count. It should give your reader more than the keynote did, not less. We will help you draw that line in our publishing strategy phase, before a word of the book gets written.
How we will work with you
Your book will start from your existing keynote material, slides, recorded talks, audience Q&A. We use that as the scaffolding, then extend it through interviews and drafting until your book is genuinely richer than the talk. When the launch is over we stay on through ongoing support, reprints, updated editions, the next book if there is one.
If you speak frequently, we will plan your timeline around your highest-visibility events so your book launches at the moment you have the most stage time to promote it.
