16 October 2026
Laurey Buckland
Registration from: 11:45am
Lunch: 12:30pm
Facts inform. Stories persuade. This month, Laurey Buckland explores why meaning matters more than information — from ethos, pathos and logos to the role story plays in buying decisions, how your own story builds authority, and why a book remains one of the strongest authority assets you can own.
Join us at our usual monthly event of networking, two-course lunch and a great speaker as always.
We look forward to seeing you at the event!
(Booking deadline - Midnight Monday prior to the event)
Event Details
Laurey Buckland
Laurey Buckland is a former journalist and English teacher turned editorial partner and book developer. She helps female founders, coaches and consultants get the book that's been living in their heads onto the page, often in as little as 60 days.
Most people she works with don't lack ideas. They have years of experience, stories, opinions and expertise, but no clear way to shape it all into a book someone will want to read.
Laurey helps them untangle it, find the structure, preserve their voice and create a book that builds authority, opens doors and keeps working for them long after it's published.
You don't need a huge platform first. Your book can help build one.
