I have sent a letter much like this one to many of you.  If you are one of the people who received this letter there has been one change.  I now am asking for each submission to be 1500 words or less. Other than that the body of this letter remains the same so you may want to scroll down to the guidelines section of this page.

I am putting together a book.  This book will be a culmination of personal development articles submitted by people who have been included on The Personal Development List.

This is a formal invitation to join me in the creation of this book by submitting articles you would like me to include. I am really excited about this project and I am confident that after you finish reading this article you will be as well.

This book is going to be a much like the “Chicken Soup For the Soul” series, and  Jack Canfields “How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be” in that, it will be a collection of useable techniques, principles, skills, and idea’s collected from numerous people in the personal development field.

I want to make it clear that I am not looking to rewrite either of the above mentioned books, as that would not produce much value to anyone and, to do so would be both legally and morally wrong.  We can however, learn from and model the successful elements of such leaders in a new and creative way.  

Please be as original as possible with your submissions.  The more useful and original your submission is, the more likely it is to be included in the book.

I am sure that with as many people as we have contributing to this project, there will be some overlap in ideas.  This is why originality and practical application is important. Feel free to refer to LOA, EFT, LEAP and other known personal development technologies but, please do not make them your main theme unless you are providing a new twist to them.
 
Once the book is complete you will all be invited to participate in an affiliate program.  I will provide a link that each of you may use to promote and sell the book and,  you will be given a percentage of each sell you make. 

I truly believe that this book will be the next BIG THING in the personal development world both online and off! Inclusion in this book will certainly make your work well known to the public.  Can you imagine the scope and the reach we would have if everyone on The Personal Development List promoted this book?   

Please send your submissions to me (before Nov. 25th 2007) to: priscilla@priscillamcintire.com.
