Published Book Yields Public Speaking Opportunities

My husband, R.J. and I are quite excited to have our book, "Together in the Dream" published. But, as writers, our work has just begun. After all, no money can be made from all our efforts if no one knows about our book, or buys it!

As actors, we have no problem "selling ourselves" to the public. The good news on that front lies in all the social media sites that allow us to promote our new book. That is exactly what has kept us busy for the last week. Facebook posts, Linked In notices, emails, phone calls, etc., are the first focus for promotion.

Beyond that, we are seeking to book speaking engagements, and not just to tell people we wrote a book, and that it's a fun read. Within the pages of "Together in the Dream" are, we believe, motivational and inspiring moments. Our current lives, as basically self-employed entrepreneurs, would not be a reality if we hadn't experienced the first steps toward those goals through our careers at Walt Disney World. In speaking to large groups, be they students or business people, we hope to spread the word, in our own unique way, that believing is doing.

So, bottom line: if you know of a group who'd like to book us as public speakers, please contact me through my email: srogren@gmail.com to discuss details and fee. We're as excited about this aspect of our "published" lives as we were about getting this book out there. We hope to share our stories and pursuits to inspire others.
