Speaking & Author Event Hosting
I love chatting... if you've met me, you'll know this. And it's something that comes in very handy for live events, bookshop events and literary festivals, as I don't mind (in fact rather like) talking in front of a crowd.
I can also use my experience as a journalist and podcast host to ask the right questions, in the right order, whether I'm hosting an author interview, moderating a panel or leading a live conversation. My aim is always to create an enjoyable, relaxed and memorable event.
I also speak at events and on panels about identity, ageing, beauty standards and reinvention, themes explored in my novel Turn Back Time.
I bring insight, humour and personal experience to conversations about midlife and how we can rewrite the ageing narrative in unexpected ways.
Recent speaking topics have included beauty culture, tweakments, midlife invisibility, generational divides and the pressure women face to stay relevant as they age.
I host book events and have interviewed many well known authors and public figures, most recently Caroline Quentin, Patrick Grant from the BBC's Great British Sewing Bee, Sarah Turner, Lauren Bravo, Cecelia Ahern and Dawn O'Porter.
From author interviews and in-conversation events to festival panels and live discussions, my background in journalism helps me create relaxed, engaging conversations that audiences genuinely enjoy.
To book me to speak at, host or moderate your next event, festival, panel or author conversation, email me at elletucker@me.com or contact my speaker agency, Speaker Buzz. I''m available for literary festivals, bookshop events, panel discussions and speaking engagements across the UK.
