There is a new book out, and it better be good. Why? Because 237 authors from around the globe have each written one page limited to 400 words. They darned well better be the best 400 words each of the authors had. (Since I had only 200 good words available at the time, I collaborated with the Purple Wren. and we wrote a page with 385 words and one picture and we titled it, If you can’t stand the heat… .)
The book, a second edition is called
- Age of Conversation 2
- the authors have given their best insights into the nature of conversation and communication in a digital world as it affects business, community, and individual
- Several of the authors are local men and women
- You can buy (hardcover or paperback) or download a copy
- All profits (after expenses) go to Variety, the international children’s charity, and the 1st edition raised $15,000
Pricing for The Age of Conversation 2 is:
- e-book: US$12.50 ($10.00 going to charity)
- paperback book: US$19.95 ($8.02 to charity)
- hardback book: US$29.95 ($4.60 to charity)
The venture was overseen by local marketer Drew McLellan and Australian Gavin Heaton. Check the list of authors if you like.

Jim,
The book is a great collection of thought provoking questions and perspectives. Well worth the price…and a way to help children too. Can’t ask for more than that!
Drew
James, thanks for getting the word out about AOC2. What an amazing project with what I expect to be a thought-provoking range of perspectives. I look forward to reading your chapter.
