A list of recommended books for those who write and give speeches. Compiled by Pat McNees and Joan Detz.   more »

As a speechwriter, I try to remain keenly aware of two things at all times; voice and perspective. In an effort to keep our speakers lively and our audiences engaged, aren't we all interested in finding a new voice? . . . That's what Hunter S. Thompson did for me.   more »

Dear Friends -

We're in the process of building our website. 

We've just switched to a new host (blogharbor.com), which will allow us to provide interactive features.

Please bear with us while we improve the design and create helpful content.

"Members Only" Sections

A few sections are listed as "members only."  They require a username and password.  We have not issued passwords to anyone yet.  (But don't worry - there isn't much content in those sections yet, so you're not missing anything).

Get Notified of Site Updates

You can register to be notified when new content is added to the site.    See: Get Notified Instructions

Please note:  Subscribing (or creating a reader account) will not provide access to the members-only area and will not allow you to post comments or articles on the site.  It will just send you an email when new content is added to the site.  (If that new content is in a restricted section, you won't be able to read it).
