Well for those of you not in the know, when one becomes a professional speaker, it is best generally to be managed by a pro speaker bureau, as they are in the business of developing the contacts with folks who hire speakers. They also have the business savvy needed to do the contracts etc. Speaker bureaus, like literary agents, are indundated with requests to be "taken on" . . . as so many people want to be professional speakers. Like me.
Anyway, after much travail, I am at last "on the list" of Eagles Talent in NJ, a real live speaker bureau:

I am quite thrilled. This is a huge milestone in my journey of being being a professional author/speaker. As Groucho said, let there be dancing in the streets, drinking in the saloons, and necking in the parlor.
