KAREN FELD Public Speaker from New York City, NY

After doing political dish on-air with Joan Rivers for years I confidently engage, inform and entertain audiences. An award-winning print and broadcast journalist, I've been widely published on a range of topics from politics to entertainment to health and media topics. I do workshops, emcee gigs, talks and conversations. You name it. I'm there, versatile, and amusing. I offer unique spin and back story on Wash. DC and Hollywood. I've advised politicians, spouses and the diplomatic community on style, dress, and "politcally correct" conversation. I've spoken to spouse groups, business groups, schools, arts groups, and hospitality industry. Versatile, clever, fun, facile, enthusiastic and motivating! I uncover the authentic back story on political personalities and bold-named celebs. This is behind-the-scenes info — what the pols and stars say over cocktails at State Dinners or in the gym. I report the irreverent insider gossip that might be embarrassing, but never vicious. I chronicles history. I've been writing about political strategy and celebrity antics for 4 decades. When others stand behind the rope line, I have direct access. That translates to firsthand material you won't find elsewhere. I hobnobs to gain an insider's perspective of the private figure behind the public fasçade. Based in Wash, D.C. and NYC, Karen is the ultimate editorial maven.
