Contribute to The Age of Conversation 2008

Are You a Business Writer?
If you have a marketing or other business background and enjoy writing about related topics, you might feel right at home participating in this year's Age of Conversation 2008, a second collaborative book project that will bring together writers/bloggers from all over the internet--and all over the world. Even if you simply enjoy reading about business, you'll want to know more about this book!
What Is The Age of Conversation?
To learn more about the collaboration--which is the brainchild of Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton and should be even bigger and better than last year's highly popular version--visit Drew McLellan's blog, Drew's Marketing Minute, and check out his Calling All Authors--Time to Exceed Age of Conversation post! But hurry, because the deadline (which has already been extended once), is February 3rd! (My apologies for posting about the project so late! I only just came on board myself the other day and then was without internet all day today due to computer parts issues. Finally managed to use a part intended for a slightly different use to restore my internet access, though; and now I'm back up and running.)
Become a Project Author or Simply Help Choose the Topic
Even if you aren't able to participate as a writer this year, stop by Drew's blog if you're at all interested in voting on which of three possible topics will become the theme for this year's book. (Again, remember that the deadline is February 3rd.)
Topic choices are the following:
- Marketing Manifesto
- Why Don't People Get It?
- My Marketing Tragedy (and what I learned)
A Worthy Project to Benefit a Worthy Cause
All proceeds from the sale of The Age of Conversation 2008 will be donated to Variety, the children's charity, as they were last year.
This project promises to be an exciting compilation of great writing and one you won't want to miss! So hurry on over to Drew's blog and find out how you can participate. And if you are reading this post after February 3rd, check Drew's blog anyway for periodic updates on the project, because you'll no doubt want your own copy once Age of Conversation 2008 goes to print!
Do check it out!

I actually do have a business background. I'll have to look into this. However, if the deadline is soon, I probably won't be able to do it.
Thanks for letting everyone know about this.

Writer's Notes
Great! I know you'd add a lot to the project! Hope you'll be able to participate! Many of our mutual "blogging buddies" will be involved this time around--even some who weren't last year.
Don't know much about project deadlines--other than the deadline for signing up and/or helping choose the topic--but apparently there will be various deadlines for different parts of the project to help keep everyone on track. Don't know how soon they'll be, though. You can e-mail Drew with that and other questions. His e-mail address is listed in his blog post (linked to above).
I'm hoping others will be able to participate, as well--despite the fact that I'm so late joining and publicizing it, myself.
Take care and thanks for the visit!
