Who do you represent?
The authors we
represent are listed in the Speakers
section of this website. However, the Knopf Speakers
Bureau also acts as a gateway for you to reach other Knopf
authors (please visit www.aaknopf.com for a full
list of those authors) whom you might wish to invite to
speak at a function. Just send us an e-mail with the name
of the authors you are seeking and we will make the
connection.
Can you give me speaker suggestions for my event?
If you are looking for inspiration, we are happy to
provide recommendations. We can help put you in touch with
any Knopf authors, some of whom may be represented by other
lecture agencies. Just send us an e-mail and we'll be in
touch to discuss your needs.
How much will it cost to invite a speaker to lecture at
my event?
Cost really depends upon the speaker and
his or her travel time, as well as the work involved in
preparing for the event. Please contact us and we'll be happy to
discuss costs in more detail.
How are travel arrangements made?
Either KSB or
the host can make the travel arrangements. Travel costs are
usually considered separately from the speaker's fee and are
borne by the host.
At what type of events do your authors speak?
All sorts of events—as diverse as the speakers
themselves! Some examples are: as part of a lecture series, at luncheons, at conferences as keynote
speakers, at university commencements or other
university settings, at community "One-Reads," as keynote speakers to groups with a
particular interest, as lecture programming on cruise
ships and even at wine-tastings.
How do I promote my event?
We can help you with promotional materials. For example, if you need author photographs, jacket images, and press materials, please contact us. And we are happy to liaise with your press department.
