In mid-January, Gavin Heaton and I announced we were ready to take on the sequel to the incredibly successful Age of Conversation.
We put out an author call and in a new twist, asked everyone (authors and readers) to vote on the theme of this year’s book.
The votes are tallied and we’re off to the races! The winning theme was “Why don’t they get it?” To add dimension to the book, we’ve added a new layer — topics. So each author was asked to select one of eight topics that falls under the “why don’t people get it?” theme. We’ll share those with everyone down the road. In the meantime, while we’re getting everyone set on their specific writing assignment…
We thought it was time to introduce you to the 275 (yes…275!) authors of Age of Conversation: Why Don’t People Get It?
