Has it ever occurred to you that a book launch is like giving a speech? It is the culmination of lots of hard work and use of the imagination. An author, like a speechwriter, has to be professional in his or her writing. Some writers are asked to write certain books just as some speakers are asked to give certain speeches. Their topic is chosen and all they have to do is write the book or the speech and deliver it on time. Other writers, of course, choose their own topics just as other speakers do. Both of them have to do their research, put their ideas in order and start off their work in a way that will appeal to the audience or to the readers. It helps, of course, to know their audience. If a writer is writing heavy tome about economics he will not be addressing it to the man in the street. If he is writing a thriller he will have a much wider potential readership but he will also have much more competition. A speaker, on the other hand, won’t have that competition but will have to know his or her audience. The subject he or she chooses has to be of particular interest to that audience. A speaker has one advantage over the writer. His or her audience is captive and usually there because he or she is interested in the subject matter of the speech. Even those who are there because they are in a certain club or association and who have no interest in the topic can become enthralled. It’s up to the speechwriter. If the speech is humorous enough or captivating enough even the most disinterested listener may sit up and take notice. Writers have book launches and television or radio interviews to sell their work. A speechwriter does not have these advantages. If he or she writes a good speech, practises it and delivers it he or she won’t have to wait to see if it gets into the charts. If he or she gets a hearty round of applause he or she will know that their speech was a winner.
