Brian Jenner’s annual publication, A Speechwriter’s Notebook 2025, Jokes, quotations and ideas to help you influence people with words is now available to order.
‘In the age of the internet, everybody swipes and scrolls but it’s very difficult to remember stuff. Sometimes you get the feeling: I read that really good thing the other day, but where was it? And we spend hours going through our internet history to try to find it.
We also occupy a very shallow level of consciousness. What do I really think about AI? What is that business idea I keep having? Why does politics make me so angry?
The art of commonplacing – collecting and ordering your favourite quotations and ideas – goes back centuries. It used to be taught in schools. Having a store of your own personal wisdom is great tool for personal meditation and creativity. As a byproduct, you work out what you really think about things.’ says Brian.
This year’s edition is focused on the emotional discontents that are bubbling under the surface of our societies.
It’s 24 pages and fits inside an A5 envelope. You can send it to someone at the standard postal rate in the UK or Europe.
It costs £8.50 including postage and packing in the UK
If you want to get a copy in Europe the cost is €10, inc p&p
In the US, you can order one copy for $10, inc p&p
These books make good corporate Christmas gifts.
You can order five copies for £35 inc p&p (UK) or €40 inc p&p (EU)
For EU orders, Brian Jenner goes to the Guilde des Plumes conference in Paris on 9 December.
He will send out all the European orders in Paris on that date to avoid post-Brexit custom’s charges.
