New Book Coming Soon
I’m excited to announce that Book 2 of our series, My Job: More People at Work Around the World, is in production. Having met hundreds of people in fascinating jobs, I faced an enormous challenge in selecting the stories to include in Book 2 . . . but I believe this collection will surprise and delight you. It covers a range of jobs in the following sections:
- Health and Recovery
- Education and Finance
- Agribusiness and Food Processing
- Arts and Culture
- Activism and Diplomacy
The book allows you to experience what it’s like to be an addiction-recovery counselor trained as a clown in London, an art teacher working with gang members in Chicago, a midwife working in rural villages in Guatemala, or a mobile-banking agent making her first million in Zambia.
Book 2 will take you places you’ve never been, from the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia to a serene beach in Tel Aviv, Israel, and take you deep into the true stories of what it’s like to work at jobs as disparate as teaching a grieving widow to dance, to negotiating with a terrorist.
New Publisher
Books take a long time to incubate before they’re ready for the world. My Job Book 2, conceived just after the birth of Book 1, endured a full year of rigorous fact-checking and seventeen rounds of edits on my desk, before I signed with a publisher whose standards (I tell you this with a huge smile of delight) are far more stringent than mine.
Greenleaf Book Group, an independent book publisher dedicated to empowering authors, is known for its far-reaching ability to convene audiences and create bestselling books. Beyond their deft handling of editing, design, and distribution, their Austin-based team deeply believes in the power of stories to connect people, and the meaning of work as a core component of our shared human experience–a reality we can all relate to, with a range of experiences as unique as each one of us.
