Is that true for presentations you give at public libraries, or other non-school venues? Writers are popular with kids and teens at my public library, but they don't tend to respond well to motivational-style presentations. They are more interested in the books they have read, what it's like to be a writer, how to get published, interesting tidbits about the characters, etc.
