Note: If you've been linked to in this post, we have an early copy of our book Tuned In ready to send you. Please read below for details!
We have been very fortunate to have so many people care about this project, offering their time and thoughts on how to make it special, willingly and without any expectation of something in return. More than two hundred and fifty people made material contributions. Without their help, we have no doubt the book would stand much less chance of resonating with readers. The people in this list offered keen insights are what make writing the book a special endeavor.
The people below are among those who helped us. Some of you took the time to be interviewed by us. Many bloggers added to the conversations around the Tuned In concept. You all greatly enhanced our view. In particular, the incredible voices of the people listed below made writing this book much easier. Check out their companies and blogs!
In the blog world, when someone writes a great post, you link to it. It’s a virtual pat on the back and acknowledgement that the effort was worthwhile. And it recognizes the original idea. So in that spirit, we wanted to thank all of you in this post and also by including you in the acknowledgements pages in the hardcover book. So not only are you in this post, but you are also listed in the book itself with our thanks.
Our publisher has kindly agreed to supply early copies of Tuned In for each of you. If you're in the list below, just go to this link, supply your contact information, and we will ship you an advance copy of the book before they hit stores in early July.
Alas, you won't get the spiffy hard cover with a dust jacket because it is still at the printer (you can preorder that and get it in early July). Instead you will get an early paperback version ahead of the rest of the world.
And thanks for your help in creating our book.
Oh, and one more thing. We've met some people since the manuscript was due to our publisher. Sorry you didn't make it into the list. And if we forgot someone or made a mistake in the list, which we are sure we have, apologies in advance.
