The moment when the final printed proof of your book is in your hands is pretty special. The months of effort to revise and expand the material, researching and writing the new chapters, the multiple revisions, the back and forth with designer and editor . . . it all becomes worth it when the finished product arrives.
A trip to the post office this morning brought the page proofs for the 2nd edition of The 8 Essential Skills for Supervisors & Managers nicely bound in its new cover. The new chapters and additional information brings the page count to more than 420.
There is still more to do, of course. There’s the final review with my editor, Jan Andersen of Beyond Words, Inc., getting the word out to previous purchasers and organizations who adopted the 1st edition for their management development programs, marketing and promotion, as well as the upcoming eCourse.
Savoring the moment is wonderful. Now, back to work.
Stay tuned!
Paul

Thanks, Gretchen. We found a few formatting items that are being fixed and then we’ll be ready to go live. Stay tuned!
