NEW YORK, Aug. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For entrepreneurs turned authors, building a successful public speaking career can directly impact your success as a writer. In today's competitive publishing space, authors need to play a central part on their publicity team and public speaking provides the platform for promotion and should be a component of any book marketing strategy.

Penny Sansevieri understands that most writers aren't sure where to begin when it comes to launching their speaking careers, and in her latest PR Newswire Small Business PR Toolkit post, provides four tools needed to help you season your speaking skills.

Website: Before you can begin to schedule speaking events, you need to first ensure your website is in order. Sansevieri suggests if you want to be taken seriously as a writer that your site should reflect that and be error-free and professional. Your speaker page should be clearly marked on your homepage and not difficult to locate.

Speaker Topics: Research conference sites to uncover what speakers are presenting on and how their topics are structured. Your topics should be as unique as theirs. Sansevieri recommends that if you want to increase your bookings focus on a benefit driven speaking topic and not a statement driven speaking topic. Show your attendees by the title alone, "here's what you'll get."
