If Earth Could Speak, The Book

It takes a village…

 

Many thanks to all those who were instrumental
in making this book project successful
 
David Kostiuk – Editor

 

When I started working on the book 10 years ago I thought that I could simply write it myself. Having never written a book before, I tried for years to get it finished. After being introduced to David I submitted to him what amounted to a raw jumble of ideas. He objectively held me accountable throughout that early version but gave me a very precious gift after all of the edits within that version. He said, “This will be a great book when you rewrite it.” It was another 3 years until he received the final version. What you read in this book are my ideas and his skillful smoothing and guidance of the words. Many of the items that are at the front of the book were previously at the end. It is his insightfulness that helped design its fluidity. I cannot say enough about his professionalism. Never once has he commented on how he feels about the content. Instead he remained objective as an editor must do. It is by his guidance that I have successfully navigated the journey from ‘Corporate Technologist’ to published author. If David is working with you on your book then be assured that he will deliver you to its refined finish.

 

Starck Design / Cynde Starck – Web & Graphic Design

 

I have been working with Cynde Starck for almost 20 years. In those early years of the commercial Internet most marketing was done by traditional layout design and printing presses. Cynde has such a feel for design that it’s a fascinating process to watch. Her eye for layout of her designs could not be more exacting. I trust her completely with my projects and I’m always thrilled with the results. Unfortunately Cynde passed in 2018.

 

Nuvolum – Social Marketing & Media and Video Recording

       

Nuvolum has been a treasure of a find for me. They initially recorded the videos for the book release event and edited them. I’ve seen their results firsthand and they have a very successful approach to their client’s endeavors. I’m looking forward to building out a unique approach to the entire social network structure with them. Nuvolum is the company that can partner with me to help achieve these goals.

 

Scott Lueders – Audio Book Recording

 

I have recorded some voiceover segments in the past. Making an audio recording of your own book that took 10 years to complete is quite a bit different. Scott worked with dedication and precision. He was so patient during the entire project and was extremely focused on the quality of the final product. As we worked through the chapters we were able to come up with a great system for editing out the errors. His results were exactly what I was looking for and I will certainly look forward to recording my next book with him.
