It's good business for writers to do speeches, says Joanna Penn, author of Public Speaking for Authors, Creatives and Other Introverts: "Speaking enables you to connect directly with people, and they are more likely to become fans of your creative work through seeing your face and hearing your voice. If people listen to you and see you in action, they get to know you better. They can ask you questions and you can demonstrate your knowledge."
