The Racine Public Library will host a one hour presentation on publishing tips for new authors, and a book-talk by Doug Story, author of the 2007 book, "The Blood of Soldiers Makes the General Great: Preparing for the Business Wars to Come." The program will be held on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in the library's Lee Room.
In his presentation, Doug Story will discuss the evolution of his book from idea conception through the publishing process. He will touch upon how he put his ideas into book form and the process he went through to locate a publisher in tough economic times. Discussion of Story's current publication will also be offered.
Douglas Story has been working nationally and internationally in business for over 20 years. During this time he kept journals on his activities, the business programs he participated in, and the people he met. From his journals, he began to see that a primary indicator of the future success of a business was apparent in the way that business handled its employees in times of crisis.
In 2007, the information Doug Story collected took the form of a published book, "The Blood of Soldiers Makes the General Great: Preparing for the Business Wars to Come." Since that time, many of the concepts put forth in his book have made it into mainstream media and are being witnessed in the way businesses are dealing with the current economic downturn…through the elimination of many of their most experienced and knowledgeable employees via layoffs and forced retirements. These companies may be able to survive today, but what will the future hold?
Douglas Story was born in North Carolina and was raised all over the world. He graduated from Western Carolina University with degrees in Biology and Chemistry and from Loyola University with an MBA.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. Seating will be available on a first come/first served basis. Call the library at 262.636.9217 for more information.
