It's so very exciting! I've received a letter that I am being considered for inclusion in the "Honors Edition". Whoopee!
Having received these letters occasionally, I know a scam when I see one. I did do a search to see if others have written about this. You can look at http://annoyedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2006/08/ala-sells-me-out-to-scam-artists.html to read an annoyed librarian's thoughts.
What these publishers do is send thousands of mailings to people and hope that some of them want to pay extravagant sums to see their names in print. Doesn't mean a thing.
My letter is now in the recycle bin.

About Me
- Marcia Stein, PHR
- A Recruiter, HR Consultant and professional speaker, I'm interested in interviewing people, learning life stories and sharing information and resources. My experience as a parent provided the inspiration for writing about parenting difficult teens, and "Strained Relations: Help for Struggling Parents of Troubled Teens" comes from my heart. I'd like parents to know they're not alone, that there are resources and you can learn how to cope with the situation. I interviewed top Silicon Valley recruiters for their vocational journey and an explanation of what they do, tips for newbies and job seekers, and compiled this information into a book, "Recruiters on Recruiting". Book and article links are listed at www.tellmeaboutyourself.info. I am the founder and organizer of the Silicon Valley Women in Human Resources...and Friends group, a networking, mentoring and educational group and have been recognized by the HR Symposium with the Partners in Innovation Award.
