The Book Has a Title!

As my writing journey takes more focus, I decided to come up with at least a descriptive title, so I can refer to it specifically, rather than just "the book." I did this realizing that my publisher will change it anyway. For the better I'm sure.

Here goes: "Rebuilding the Performance Review: the Key to Job Satisfaction & Top Performance." Now you can see why I've labeled this a "descriptive" title; it is obviously too long, but it serves its purpose for now.

Speaking of my publisher, I have received some very nice support from Arthur Chou of Velazquez Press in Southern California. He has assured me his help which, as a first time author, I dearly need. If they don't publish it (because of the topic/discipline), he will assist me in getting it published elsewhere. This is a nice favor given the way our economy and electronic books have adversely affected the marketplace for new books.

Meanwhile the background work continues. I am in the middle of interviewing H/R Professionals, as well as middle and upper management. This will help me several ways: First, it will effectively solicit opinions on the PR as a whole, while gathering data and field material, which will allow me to document why I take some of the positions I do. Secondly, it will allow for some story telling, which I believe is a great way to make a lasting impression. Finally, it will also provide a sort of bibliography which will help the book be well grounded.

Thanks to all of you who are contributing!
