Free Speech Speakers Bureau
Become a Speaker

There is a one-time membership fee of $25, which covers administrative fees and Free Speech postage. This fee does not guarantee a certain number of talks. That’s up to the groups, but we do make every effort to give you exposure. When ten or so new speakers join Free Speech, we send out a “New to Free Speech” flyer to about 300+ groups. Hopefully, this gets you started with a bang. Then your talk is entered on the master list.

We receive requests for "THE LIST" almost daily from group program chairpersons. After he or she has had a chance to review the list, the chairperson will call Free Speech and request speakers who interest their group. If you're chosen we e-mail you a form that lets you know your talk has been selected and provides the contact person's name and number. At that point, we step aside.

You call the contact person. Go over the details, the date, the directions, etc. Be sure to exchange phone numbers. Frequently, the contact person will request a written bio about you. Send (fax/e-mail) this to him or her immediately. Many of these folks write you up for their organization's newsletter and/or local newspaper.

It is a firm policy of Free Speech that you return a call to the person within 3 days. Even if you have to turn down the talk, please call within three days. You do not need to inform us whether you accepted or declined the talk.
