1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes and yes. That is, I have done it and do plan the intro. Do a bit of research. Keep it brief as the audience came to hear him. Include a brief bit of bio on him. In your own words, something like “Our distinguished speaker tonight has been published in 24 countries and won numerous literary awards including the National Jewish Book Award and was named one of Granta Magazine’s 2007 Best of Young American Novelists. He is a talented author and illustrator. etc. Here with a reading for you today from his (insert work type and title), Mr. Jonathan Safran Foer.” What a treat! Don’t be nervous. People are really focused on him. You’ll do fine.
