Take the Stage

Speeches

Is your keynote or TEDx ready for the stage?

After years of working with dozens and dozens of speakers, I've learned what makes a good speech: It should feel though you've just thought up brilliant stories and points and then delivered them in a conversational tone, like you’re holding court at a cocktail party and you can do no wrong.

That starts with good writing.

Whether you’re planning a keynote speech, TEDx speech, or webinar, I can help you develop your idea or messaging, choose a viable structure, infuse emotion and empathy, and leave your audience wanting more of you and your ideas. I can ghostwrite your speech in your voice or coach you to write it yourself, editing as needed, until it’s ready for the stage.

Let’s meet in a complimentary Zoom call to determine if we’re a good fit for each other. Contact me.

Testimonials

Jen wrote a proposal for me that landed me a top agent and a book deal with an imprint of a Big Five publisher. She's the person you want in your corner to help you tell your story, manage the lift that is finishing a book, and do so in a way that feels authentic to you.

What I needed was a translator who could turn a decade of advocacy and lived pain into a field guide people could use. If you ever need a ghostwriter, editor, or story surgeon, stop searching. Call Jen. She’s the only person who can walk through the fire with you and still hand you clean copy on the other side.

Jen helped bridge the research-based writing with relatable stories and make sure the book was entertaining and cohesive. I highly recommend Jen and will definitely bring her along for my next journey if I have another book in me.

Jen's editorial guidance has made my work stronger without ever making it feel less like mine. She’s an exceptional business partner—on time, on budget, and a true professional. I recommend her without hesitation.

I sought a coach to help me articulate my experiences as a disabled speaker navigating life after a transformative trauma. Jen's understanding of health struggles allowed her to empathize with mine, enabling me to communicate my insights through a shared lens. We collaborated swiftly and effectively, producing a compelling product for diverse audiences.

Jen Singer has collaborated with me on my books, speeches, articles, and more. She is always able to capture my voice and put into words the lessons I've shared for years at Heroic Public Speaking. She works fast, processing information at lightning speed. In fact, she's such an exceptional editor, we even call her "Machete Jen."
