How to Price Your Scribal Ministry Speaking Engagements Theresa Harvard Johnson

In How To Price Your Scribal Speaking Engagements, Theresa Harvard Johnson outlines a realistic and practical plan for aspiring or emerging Christian speakers to price their speaking engagements. While this book is written specifically for an overlooked group - prophetic scribes and writers, the insight provided is practical to anyone desperately seeking wisdom to launch a successful speaking business. Her insight IS NOT guru-based. Instead, it focuses exclusively on her personal, practical experiences navigating speaking engagements as a poet and seasoned speaker who has stood in high-demand in the 21st century.

She speaks from a ministerial and entrepreneurial perspective.
