THE CHALLENGE: People have been asking me about how to get autographed copies of
"WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW" after its June 5th publication. I love signed books myself, and I really want to sign books for folks, wherever they are and wherever they may have purchased the book. But -- shipping books back and forth seemed to be a pretty cumbersome endeavor. I was determined to come up with a practical way to do this. And then I thought of it...
T
HE SOLUTION: I came up with an idea I hope will work well for anyone who has purchased a book, no matter where they might be:
Customized bookplates.
"Bookplate" is really just a fancy name for a sticker -- something that's applied to the inside cover to identify the book's owner. I've had custom bookplates made for "WORK HAPPY: WHAT GREAT BOSSES KNOW
." If readers would like to have their book signed, all they have to do is send me an email request. I will sign and send a bookplate via good old snail mail.
The bookplate instructions are simple:
- Address your request to jgeisler@poynter.org
- Put "Bookplate Request" in the subject line
- Tell me the name of the person(s) for whom I'll be signing a bookplate
- Include any other info you might want me to include in the signature (i.e., "Congratulations on your promotion" or "To an already great boss!")
- Include your mailing address
- Be patient, please, since I'm often on the road teaching -- but I'll respond as quickly as I can!
Thanks!
Jill
