Mic Drop: Author Event Masterclass with Dave Rudden

Whether you’re a nervous debut, a poet or writer hoping to branch into school events, or simply wish to expand your event portfolio, this four-hour masterclass with Dave Rudden covers everything you need to know about being a gigging author, including but not limited to;

– Your ‘event menu’ – what you can do, what you’re willing to do, and how much you should be charging

– Being yourself on stage – how to build an event that matches your personality, energy and writing style

– Audience interaction – introducing yourself, managing crowds and the dreaded Q & A

– Practicalities – venue management, tech requirements and book sales

– And most importantly, how to manage the life of a gigging author, protect your headspace, and make sure you are only doing the events you want to do.

The workshop also includes a template on putting together your own event menu and a sample presentation allowing you to build your own for use in schools.
