The Cicero Speechwriting Awards are sponsored by Vital Speeches of the Day and The Executive Speaker — the leading publications in the speechwriting field — to " celebrate the talent so crucial in helping the great leaders in the public and private sectors achieve prominence."
See the full speech and other winners here.
Also, on Friday I got to share the stage - albeit briefly - with one of the lions of the speechwriting world, Ted Sorenson, at the Ragan Speechwriters' Conference in Washington. JFK's counselor and speechwriter presented me with an Honorable Mention (third place) in the inaugural Theodore Sorenson Speechwriting Awards. Yes, for the same speech.
All in all ... not a bad week.

Nicely done. Down to earth but no less informative for it all. Typical Fletcherian speech.
Congratulations, Fletch! A dream week --

Anne ... always the tactician.
Short Answer: Yes! An agent requested the whole proposal about a month ago but I hadn't heard from her since I sent it. I used it as an opportunity to update the file, so to speak, and see if there's anything else I could send her.
Congats Fletch. Kudos to you!!
