Knoxville Writers' Guild Speakers' Bureau: Professional & Technical Writing

Speakers selected to represent the Knoxville Writers Guild are not paid by the Guild, but have agreed to donate 10% of all honoraria, compensation and book sales to the KWG. Neither the Bureau nor the Guild acts as an intermediary or agent in recommending individual speakers. How to use the Speakers Bureau: You may either search the list of speakers or select a particular category such as Poetry or Regional Writing and chose a writer with expertise in that category.  Return to list of all speakers.

Once you have selected the speaker who best suits your organizations needs and the interests of your members, contact him or her directly using contact information on the Speakers Bureau web site. You and the speaker can then set program content, compensation (if any) and logistical arrangements. Since the Speakers Bureau is a community service of the Knoxville Writers Guild, we are anxious for your feedback. After the program, we invite you to fill out the exit survey, either on-line at this website [link] or in hard copy provided by the speaker.
