Getting started
Writing a new book – a daunting but very exciting prospect. I am a co-author of two previous books, and I’ve learned that it’s crucial to get lots of involvement from other people. This time, I’m on my own – so join in:
- Got a great story, tip, idea or example? Tell me about it.
- Tell me about your process. Mine has five steps: too many? Too few? Let me know.
- Did your quest for a quick
answer lead to a breakthrough? Or a disaster? I’d love to hear it. - Know a great resource, online or offline? Share it.
- Can’t wait until the book comes out to get an answer to a question? Ask, and I’ll try to help.

Our Canucks-only contest
UPDATED, August 16: Well, looks like we made entering our contest a tad bit too hard. Perhaps it was unreasonable to assume you Canucks tend to be toting your copies of our books whilst loitering about the Plains of Abraham? So, we’ll make it easier: just email us your photo in front of your favorite Canadian landmark, with or without your Rosenfeld Media book in hand. Please do so by Monday, August 23. Much easier this way…
