For Corporations

We would love to work with your company! We will match your corporate culture to the talented authors coming to our communities on book tour, and plan events that will educate, entertain and inspire your employees! Our work with the Microsoft Visiting Speaker Series won the Smart Money “perk of the month” award and we have created events in many companies that range from “lunch and learn” events to workshops, wine tastings, “breakfast with the author” and full conferences. Here is what some of our current clients have to say:

“Bringing such a prominent author, with expertise in our field, right to our door gave us all an opportunity to brush up on our own skills and think creatively about ways we can better do our jobs.”

—John Porcaro, Microsoft

“Real Networks has always encouraged an articulate environment, where people of diverse backgrounds and experiences can express their ideas and create innovative products. The “Real Authors" program reinforces our creative culture and provides a platform for discussion and community. Having authors on-site has been such a success that I often tout it as a selling point to potential employees.”

—Toni Unrein, Real Networks.

“Through Kim’s depth of resources, we have presented a diverse offering of speakers to our membership, and an author brought to us via Kim Ricketts/Book Events always elicits excitement and interest from our members.”

—Emmy Jordan, Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce

How It Works:

  • we meet with you to determine your company’s needs and wants
  • we will work continuously with major publishers to define and schedule appropriate authors for you
  • we will work with your key employees to schedule and promote the events
  • we will handle all aspects of the event, with trained bookselling/event staff on site the entire time.

We look forward to creating some author events for your company!
