 In today’s episode, host Karen Williams is joined by Matty Dalrymple – author of the Lizzie Ballard thrillers and the Anne Kinnear suspense series, indie publishing consultant, and campaigns manager for the Alliance of Independent Authors (ALLi). Matty shares her journey from aspiring fiction writer influenced by her father, to building a dual career in fiction and nonfiction, and establishing herself as “The Indy Author.” We dive into how authors can turn their books into speaking opportunities that grow their businesses, exploring the evolving landscape of author speaking gigs, the importance of building meaningful connections and community, and key strategies for landing and delivering high-impact presentations. Plus, you’ll get practical advice on organizing your ideas for your next book and navigating the changing world of event pitches in the age of AI. Whether you’re a nonfiction or fiction author, this episode is filled with insights to help you write, speak, and connect with your audience in powerful new ways. ** Upcoming Events ** If you’d like to find out more about how we can support you with your book, come along to one of our free monthly online networking events, the Coffee and Connect Café, held on the first Tuesday of each month. You’ll get learning, ideas, and the chance to connect with other authors. We also run an annual writing retreat and our next event in Spain is from 25 April to 2 May 2026. Join us for a week in the sun writing your book! You can find out more about all our upcoming events at https://www.librotas.com/librotasevents. Or contact Karen Williams to find out how she can help you via www.librotas.com. Key Takeaways Be a Community Member First – Matty emphasizes the importance of engaging in the communities and events related to your topic before you pitch yourself as a speaker. Understand the audience, listen to other speakers, and build authentic connections—these are the seeds of future speaking gigs. Intentional Goal Setting – Not all speaking opportunities align with your goals. Is your aim to travel, earn revenue, or grow your network? Define your priorities and let them guide your decisions, whether it’s accepting virtual events, requesting fees, or selecting topics. Serve Your Audience and Organizers – The presentation doesn’t end when you step off the podium. Stay available for conversations, answer questions, and make organizers look good. The relationships you nurture can lead to more opportunities and truly expand your impact.
