Penny Wincer is an author and non-fiction book coach based in London, originally from Melbourne. After 15 years as a freelance interiors photographer, she began writing about her experiences as a single parent and unpaid carer while managing a creative career. Her work has appeared in Red Magazine, iPaper, BBC Radio 4, and The Telegraph.
In 2020, Penny published her first book, Tender: The Art of Imperfect Caring, which The Times described as urgent and timely. Her work often reflects the challenges of caring for others, a reality faced by millions in the UK and beyond. In Tender, she shares her journey as a carer for her mother and her autistic son, emphasising the importance of self-care in the caregiving process.
By blending personal stories with research on resilience and self-compassion, she offers a hopeful perspective on the often-overlooked experiences of carers. As a certified writing coach, Penny also helps writers develop compelling non-fiction book proposals. She hosts the podcast Not Too Busy To Write, which was a finalist in the 2023 Independent Podcast Awards. Penny has extensive experience speaking about unpaid caregiving with various organisations, including Omnicom Group, Scottish Power, Carers UK, and Hachette.

Email penny.wincer@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Penny's availability and fees. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and a bit about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
