The Public Speaking Playbook - Softcover

“Gamble and Gamble’s Playbook is an incredibly thorough overview of the public speaking process.” (Paul T.M. Hemenway)

“The concept from Gamble and Gamble of presenting classroom material in a manner that many students are familiar with, a playbook, makes it stand out in the field. When students are overwhelmed and don’t know where to start on choosing a topic, choosing an organizational structure, finding research, my go-to answer is to check the playbook – there’s a section on that problem. It’s not a textbook to be read, memorized for a quiz – then put aside – it is there for the full “season” as a playbook.” (Brigit K. Talkington)

 “Eminently teachable because of its uncomplicated and jargon-free approach to Public Speaking” (Satish Kolluri)

“No other playbook is needed. SAGE’s “Public Speaking Playbook” is the perfect tool to help students." (Kristyn Hunt Cathey)

"A useful textbook for speech that covers several topics you don’t normally find covered in detail like language usage and also has great exercises for in class activities." (Dr. Christy Mesaros-Winckles)
