About this listen
Have you ever wondered about speakers' bureaus and how they work? Or wondered whether they might make sense for you? Speakers' bureaus can be controversial, with some authors adamant that they are not worth the cost, while others are big believers in the benefit of increased visibility.
Join Alice and Julie as they talk with Christie Hinrichs, the Director & Events Agent at Authors Unbound, a full-service literary speakers bureau that represents more than 300 authors and manages nearly 1,000 events every year. Christie, who lives with her partner and teenage son in Bend, Oregon, managed several Visiting Author Series and worked as an independent booking agent before founding Authors Unbound in 2018. She talks with Alice and Julie about what sorts of authors are a good fit for her company, what authors can do to book more speaking gigs, and what Authors Unbound brings to the table.
