Shape Your Story. Share Your Book. Shine on Stage.
Turn your published book into a short, powerful talk that moves hearts, builds your brand, and expands your reach.
You’ve published your book. Now it’s time to share your message.
Limited spots. Early bird ends July 5.
You want to share your message… but something’s holding you back.
You know your message matters. But turning it into a short talk? That’s where things get murky.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
This isn’t about winging it, guessing, or going it solo. You’ll have two experienced coaches guiding you every step of the way — from shaping your story to stepping onto the (virtual) stage.
✍️ Melody Owen – Book Coach & Story Strategist
As the founder of Author Nation, Melody has helped hundreds of nonfiction authors clarify their message, organize their ideas, and write books that truly matter. She specializes in helping experts translate complex ideas into accessible, impactful stories — and now she’s here to help you distill your book into a talk that connects.
🎤 Danielle Benzon – Speaker Coach & Voice Specialist
Actor, director, and certified Meisner trainer, Danielle brings deep performance experience and a passion for authentic voice work to every client she supports. With a Master’s in Acting from E15 Acting School (London) and over a decade of coaching experience, she helps speakers move past fear and into confident, embodied communication. She’s voice behind Inspired Coaching.
Together, we’re here to help you craft a talk that sounds like you, feels aligned with your message, and makes an impact — without the stress or performance pressure.
From Book to Talk, Without the Overwhelm
Think TED Talk and Blinkist had a baby: short, meaningful, unforgettable.
This isn’t a long-winded keynote or a pitchy book trailer. It’s a tight, story-rich talk — 3 to 5 minutes — built from the heart of your book, delivered with clarity and confidence.
You’ll shape it, refine it, and share it — all with expert support.
Live Planning Workshop
Uncover the core message and structure it into a powerful, audience-ready talk. You’ll leave with a solid draft and a clear direction.
1:1 Content
Coaching
Work privately to refine your message, polish your outline, and build a flow that feels natural and aligned with your voice.
Live Delivery Workshop
Learn how to bring your story to life through vocal presence, pacing, and connection. You’ll get techniques you can use in this talk — and beyond.
1:1 Speaker Coaching
Practice your talk in a safe, supportive space. You’ll fine-tune your delivery and gain confidence before you go live.
Book Talks Showcase
Deliver your talk live at our virtual showcase. You’ll reach new audiences and gain a video you can use again and again.
Imagine walking away with more than just a talk.
You pressed “leave meeting” after your showcase… and you’re glowing.
Why? Because you now have:
- A short, powerful talk that distills the heart of your book
- A professional video you’re proud to share + social media posts to share
- A stronger author platform — with speaking experience to prove it
- More confidence for podcasts, panels, and stages
- A supportive team who helped you bring your voice to life
- Collaborative promotion with other nonfiction authors to elevate everyone
This is more than speaker training. It’s your next bold step as an author, expert, and messenger.
Everything you need to craft, polish, and share a talk you’re proud of.
This isn’t just a workshop or a stage. It’s a full journey — with coaching, community, and creative support at every step.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being powerful.
Most speaker trainings teach you how to deliver someone else’s script.
This experience helps you find your story — and share it in your voice.
