My publisher sent a lovely email to tell me my book, Making Mediation Your Day Job, is a finalist for Book of the Year in ForeWord Review’s annual awards. It was selected from 1,400 entries.
My smile at the news grew wider when my sister pointed out that there was a typo (now corrected) that initially listed the title as Making Medication Your Day Job. More than a few friends had some fun with that one. Winners will be chosen at BookExpo America in New York in late May. My deepest thanks to everyone who’s purchased the book and helped it earn my publisher’s Editor’s Choice, Reader’s Choice and Publisher’s Choice awards in 2008 and 2009.
I’ve also just taken the editorial reins for the Association for Conflict Resolution’s ACResolution Magazine, a quarterly magazine for dispute resolution professionals. I’m chairing the new Editorial Committee and want to thank ACR President Michael Aloi and the ACR Board for inviting me into this role. If you’re a Conflict Zen® reader who is also an ACR member, I welcome your input about topic themes for future issues.
