Denver, COLO. February 3, 2020 – Judith Briles, the Book Shepherd, will be holding her annual Speaking Unplugged Bootcamp for local authors looking to up their game in public speaking to promote their books. This two-day intensive will be held from March 27-28 at the Hilton Denver Inverness Hotel at 200 Inverness Drive West, Englewood, CO 80112.

Dr. Briles has organized this event to feature various activities and tips to help authors with their public speaking. From how to build a portfolio of main topics, how to structure a speech, and how to keep the audience engaged, the intensive will cover every aspect to building a successful speaking platform for various authors. There will also be sessions focused on the pitfalls and blunders of public speaking and how to avoid them, along with how to bounce back from an unsuccessful speaking engagement.

The event will also dive into the business side of speaking, from negotiating contracts to setting fees.

Why hold an event such as this? Dr Briles has stated "Speaking is the number one way to build influence, support your branding, and for authors, to sell more books than they ever will in a bookstore."

"I'm honored that my book How to Create A $1,000,000 Speech has been honored with nine national book awards," she continues. "The genesis of the two-day Speaking Unplugged Bootcamp is that book. All recipients will receive a copy."

Judith Briles has published 37 books and has over 35 years of experience in public speaking. Her lifetime within the publishing industry exposed her to the pitfalls and benefits of both self-publishing and traditional publishing. She is the president of AuthorYOU, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping authors navigate the publishing world and give self-published authors access to publishing resources.
