Since it's short notice, my suggestion would be to choose a subject your interested in discussing, and just prepare the chapter(s) that is dedicated to it.
The events are free, but you can pay as you please, which would be much appreciated. I donate 10% of the revenue, as I do with all of my income, to effective charities that are recommended by the Effective Altruism Movement (see: https://www.effectivealtruism.org/).
