Questions

How do I book a author speaker?
Send an enquiry with your date, audience size and theme. We confirm availability and the exact fee within one business day, then you book directly through us. There is no bureau markup, and cancellation is free up to 14 days before your event.
How many author speakers are on SummonSpeakers?
77 author speakers are listed. You can filter them by location and gender on the roster, and every speaker with a full profile publishes a fee band rather than quoting on application.
Where are your author speakers based?
Most are in VIC (26), NSW (17), International (15). Travel and accommodation outside a speaker's home state are quoted separately at cost, so booking locally is usually the cheaper option.
Can author speakers present virtually?
Many can. A virtual keynote is usually priced at roughly half to two-thirds of the same speaker's in-person band, because there is no travel and less time away. Say in your enquiry that the session is virtual and we will confirm who is set up for it.
How quickly will I get a shortlist?
Within one business day. The shortlist names specific author speakers, states each fee, and says plainly when someone sits outside your budget rather than letting you find out later.
