North Texas Chapter: Let’s Get Speaking: How to Create Presentations as a Professional Editor

Join the North Texas chapter on March 29 at 2 p.m. CT to learn how to present at writers’ conferences.
You’re an editor, which means you’re pretty smart. Whether it’s a colleague you casually advise or an author you professionally support, you have knowledge worth sharing. Not to mention what it can do for your business when you start sharing your expertise on a larger scale.
That’s why we’re going to get you speaking! In this presentation, you will
- Determine what you already know that can become a presentation
- Discover a system for taking a presentation from concept to final product
- Garner tips for creating presentation assets such as slides and handouts
- Receive practical advice for timing and practicing your presentation
- Get tips for finding and applying to speaking gigs (as well as what to expect when it happens)
- Learn best practices for presenting your final product
Don’t hoard your editing knowledge. Share what you know when you learn how to become a creative and confident speaker.
