Professional Speaker
Michelle Hartman is a witty and fast paced speaker who can engage and
inspire your audience. She is available for business, social, educational or
religious groups.* Presentations can be done for 30 minutes to two hours. If
you need a professional and experienced speaker for your next event,
Michelle can help. Presentation topics include:
Writing Historical Fiction
Find out how to plan and build a historical based plot. The audience will leave
with dozens of resources and tips for research and blending of historical facts
with fiction.
Marketing your Writing
Learn the terms of the publishing industry and how to use these to your
advantage. No matter what you write there is a market for you and ways to
break into it. Lectures can be customized to individual fields such as Poetry,
Mystery or Historical.
**Topic Variation:
Starting to Write
Your audience can learn how to stop dreaming and start writing. Everything
from picking a class or workshop to what do you want to write. Even include
tips on free-lance work.
How to start volunteering in your community
Your audience will learn new ways to get involved with their community. Most
citizens think volunteering requires a great deal of time or money. And most
have neither. Learn how to take your own talents and turn them into charitable
success, with little time or effort.
**Topic Variation:
How to build a library on a limited budget
This topic is great for for churches or small private schools.
*Educational institutions contact me for special rate.
**Presentations can be customized to meet the needs of your audience
