@fortelabs @MichaelGendler @Montebello @Ultraspeaking @BillyBroas @MayaPLim @mikevardy @MargieBSullivan @artofaccomp Can't wait to learn from so many amazing people (and to share what I know).

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@fortelabs Congratulations! Thrilling news to see your ideas (and brilliant narrative) spread far and wide.

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@fortelabs @lisadimona @FiendishReader @AtriaBooks So great to see you and the crew. It has been rewarding to work with you and to help bring BASB to fruition. I can't wait for everything that's to come!

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@GoldieChan @mikechenwriter 100%. I watched Totoro so many times--my daughter's comfort show as a kid. Time to revisit. Take good care!

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@fortelabs Love this moment. So much to come!!!

@GoldieChan My favorite question...and I have no answer. I'll try: "Finding the Next Sweet Spot"

@jenlouden @Sue_Mitchell @JaneFriedman Haha. Fun thread. Your Why Bother stories are great. Big 5 editors DO want voice-driven how-to/self-help. However, the execution can vary from brilliant (the opening of Atomic Habits) to faux "authentic" and everything in between.

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@jenlouden @JaneFriedman I agree with @janefriedman. Not new. However, self-help HAS become much more voice- and story-driven. In terms of online buzz, people sometimes ask for guidance writing their "hero story." It can be helpful to think of "life lessons" to give a memoir shape and turning points.

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@diamondsf I am. And wondering the same about you. Small world with Tiago connection.

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@fortelabs @simonschuster Hooray!!!

This sociological breakdown by @tylercowen is incredible. He's a master at this. And honestly, it's better than any longform that could have been written on the matter.

In just two months, we were thrust into a different world for an untold period of time.

@GoldieChan We just started Ozark. A good amount of creepiness, danger, and family isolation for these times. Caught up with Homeland and now it's old-fashioned appointment TV on Sunday evenings for the final episodes.

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

@bizbookpr It was a great night. Big congrats and well deserved.

@fortelabs Fun thread. The term "maker" has become an indy shorthand but it also feels insider-y to me. People in organizations don't think of themselves as "makers." Is there something with content (another very un-pretty word)? To be continued...

[Janet Goldstein @janetgoldstein]

Thx @soultravelers3. How nice to see your friendly retweet, since I'm so rarely here. (I think we met on Twitter.)
