Re: Re: Lecturing over Writing?

Hello Jessie,
    My name is not Melanie, but I would like to jump in here if you do not mind.
    Lecturing and writing should play off of each other. Nothing sells like success. First thing a garden club or organization wants to know if the name of the gardening magazines you have written for, or books published, to use in introductions to the audience and in the publicity given out on you and your lecture. Use your articles to sell your lectures. I am in the process of organizing a new presentation or two for next year to match up in content  with up-coming articles for magazines.
    If you already have the background of being successful as a writer, the door is already open to you as a speaker... if you can follow through. Not everyone is cut out to be a good speaker. But, then, I have been to pretty terrible presentations at symposiums and the speakers keep on getting invited back... so perhaps you do not even have to be good at it......;-)

Lecturing is indeed loads of fun, Melanie, but have you figured out how to make any money at it? Are you using it to publicize books or other products? Do you sell anything at the event? Or is it just for the enjoyment and rewards of teaching?
