A Message from Susan Levin


I am off to San Francisco on Thursday to do a presentation for Berrett-Koehler Book Publishers at their Book Marketing Workshop for authors and agents.  I'm listed in the program as an Industry Expert, Speaker Services, supporting authors in growing their business through speaking.  Berrett-Koehler publishes conscious business titles.  I'll be back in the office on Monday to answer all e-mails and phone messages.

I am having so much fun with the AudioAcrobat program. It has sparked my creativity and I am finding endless ways to use it for my website and for my speakers/authors.- it even creates MP3's.

Take a look at the third column on my home page and you can hear a short audio message from me: http://speakerservices.com Some of our speakers have recorded a short message which appears under their speaker photo on our website.  This is terrific because event planners or talk show producers can hear them.

It is such a simple tool to use and the tech support is great. Check it out at http://speakerservices.audioacrobat.com

Do you want more speaking engagements? Do you want to do radio interviews? Or perhaps you want to send a press release to the media. I can help you customize a targeted marketing campaign.  Call me to discuss your needs and allow me to assist you in designing the perfect program for you.
