I believe the answer is:

mention

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'speak' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'of myself not in the revised version' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'myself' becomes 'I'.
'in the' is an insertion indicator.
'revised version' becomes 'men' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'i'+'not'='inot'
'inot' with letters rearranged gives 'ntio'.
'ntio' put inside 'men' is 'MENTION'.

(Other definitions for mention that I've seen before include "Remark" , "Briefly refer to (something)" , "Make reference to" , "Cite; quote" , "Speak of - refer to" .)
