Speaking and Events

Speaking and Event Marketing Services for Authors and Personality Brands

Speaking Opportunities and Appearing at Events Can Help Elevate Your Brand

Black Château’s Speaking and Event Marketing services will help you connect and engage with your ideal followers at public events. Included with the Author Network, there is a speaking event held every quarter to help elevate your brand and expose your book to new readers.

As a leader in bookish livestream events, The Black Château team developed The BookFest® to help authors, publishing professionals, experts, and the literary community come together. The BookFest happens in the Spring and Fall. Many Black Château clients receive invitations to participate as panelists, keynote speakers, in author chats, and in other festivities at The BookFest Adventure. 

Black Château also produces JingleBooks, which is an annual online party held during the winter holiday season, and The Beach Bound Book Bash which, is a literary tea held annually in early summer. See the latest events on the Events Page.

Celebrity Book Signing Opportunities, Conferences, and Industry Events

Black Château aligns with, and frequently places authors and industry professionals at events such as: celebrity gifting suites where authors sign books prior to the Emmys, Oscars, and Golden Globes; book fairs and writers conferences like WriterCon, the Kauai Writers Conference, and the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books;  writers organizations’ webinars including the Independent Writers of SoCal and the Writers and Publishers Network; and at ComicCon and other pop culture conventions. These public appearances and speaking opportunities are either included in the Author Network retainers or are often added-on separately.

Organizations have featured The BookFest and the Black Château team’s ingenuity. The National Association of Broadcasters Show, known as the NAB Show, regularly features round table discussions with Black Château team members. The Webby Awards presented a Webby Talk for the Black Château and BookFest teams.
