Speaking Presentations

Charles Sobczak - Sanibel Island AuthorOver the years Sanibel Author Charles Sobczak has spoken to many different groups and organizations on a wide variety of topics ranging from the challenges involved with self-publishing to an entertaining power-point presentation of the flora and fauna of the Sunshine State, based on his latest book, LIVING SANIBEL - A Nature Guide to Southwest Florida.

The list below is representative of some of the organizations Charles has given presentations to. While some of these have offered modest honorariums, the most important aspect of these public speaking presentations is getting the word out on his writings and his views on mankind’s often strained relationship with nature. If you are interested in having Mr. Sobczak speak at your book club, Rotary or Kiwanas meeting, Audubon Club, Civic Association or Writers Group, please feel free to contact him via e-mail at livingsanibel@earthlink.net or call Indigo Press, LLC, at 239-472-0491.

After every presentation Charles invites the audience to participate in what sometimes becomes a very lively question and answer session and after speaking, depending on the circumstances, he signs and sells his books with the help of his wife, Molly Heuer.
