Here are some ways that posting an article on our website helps you.
- You get a platform . . .
. . . to show potential employers what you can do. When a potential employer "googles" you, they'll see you're part of a professional speechwriters association and that your ideas are featured as a resource for other communicators. - You can be listed in our public directory.
We're creating a directory of speechwriters who are available for hire. You'll put your services in front a whole new stream of potential clients. The only way to get listed is to submit an article. - You get a venue to exchange ideas.
Speechwriting can be a lonely profession. Our Roundtable only meets a few times a year. This website can be a continuous resource for ideas - and an antidote to writer's block. - You get credit.
In our day jobs, we don't get any credit for what we write, but one this site, we finally get credit for our ideas. - You get some control over how your work is used.
When you hand a speech to your boss, you have little control over how he or she will use it. On this site, you get some control over how your work is used. Anyone that wants to reprint or excerpt your article needs to get your permission first. - You get access to the Members Only section.
What is there depends on what our members submit.
- You can catch up on meetings you missed.
Our Members Only section will include transcripts of Roundtable meetings. Currently we have recordings of three meetings. See what you've missed. - You can stay anonymous.
You don't have to reveal who you are or where you work. (Hey, we know how it is). - You get fame and fortune.
Well actually, we can't promise fortune, but you will be known publicly as someone with wisdom to share. You can include a short "about the author" note with information about yourself, whether you're available for hire, etc. - You can brag . . .
that you helped build the best speechwriting resource on the web.
