Happened to see the other day, pretty much by accident, that my upcoming book (due out April 2009), Tell Me About Yourself: Storytelling to Get a Job and Propel Your Career, is now listed on Amazon.
This book is special to me and to the life of A Storied Career. I started this blog as part of my PhD program, and one of the prime interests of the blog — and of course, me — is an exploration of storytelling and career. Tell Me About Yourself is the nonscholarly companion to my dissertation.
My editor at the publisher, JIST, had told me that JIST was considering bringing it out first in hardcover, but I hadn’t heard the final decision until I saw on Amazon that it is indeed coming out in hardcover. It’s my first hardcover book, and it must therefore be really serious.
Congratulations, Kathy!
I’m usually coaching new filmmakers and students in how to break into the business. I’ve stressed the importance to them how their stories can help them create new contacts and get someone interested in their work. Looks like I’ve got great book to recommend to them.
And it looks like I’ll be placing an order on Amazon. :-)
Best of luck with it.
That’s very cool, congrats! I’m looking forward to getting this book, and agree with Tom that the story is where it’s at!
