/lit/ - Literature

I entered a contest at my local university where the best speeches win and get some money, I want to hype up and inspire people at my speech but have never actually given one, so I want to be at least theoretically prepared, any books that tell you about techniques, the how to, and some tips? I do have time to prepare so the book length doesn't matter.
