Honorarium
Writing books and preparing lectures takes a serious commitment of time, energy, resources, and resolve. As we've traveled throughout the state of Tennessee and beyond its borders, we've determined that placing a value on our time and work is important. It is a statement about the quality and professionalism that we deliver to each speaking engagement.
While we do not charge an appearance fee for meet-and-greet book signings, we typically receive an honorarium for delivering formal presentations. Our speaking fees are affordable and priced fairly for budget-conscious organizations and groups.
