We’re thrilled to welcome you to our speaking community.

The HarperCollins Speakers Bureau is the first in-house publishing lecture agency and continues to be the leading speakers bureau for authors. A member of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB), we represent a stellar list of writers and are uniquely positioned to give meeting planners direct access to an array of fascinating keynote speakers, leadership speakers, and business speakers, including celebrity chefs, investigative reporters, famous actors, best-selling novelists, and more. An independent lecture agency, the HCSB has the capability to meet the requirements of any event planner. We work with corporations, universities, schools, associations, libraries, clubs, hospitals, foundations, and other professional organizations, groups, and societies in major markets in the United States and around the world.
