Hello from Kyoto!

I hope that you had a great rest of your summer.  My September has been filled with talks with different publishers about possibly working together to publish The Value Plan, but as of yet, aside from one clear rejection that I just received this morning, I'm still not yet at the point of reviewing a publishing contract.

On the very positive side, Lee and the Publishizer team are taking The Value Plan proposal to the Frankfurt Book Fair (https://www.buchmesse.de/en) next week, which is one of the world's largest book industry gatherings.  I've just sent them the final contents that they requested on Tuesday, so hopefully more good news will be coming from there!

Although I really would like to move forward quickly to publishing the print version so that I can send you the book or books that you ordered, it seems like the keyword for this month is patience.  The Publishing world moves at its own pace, and even 567 pre-orders and my strong desire to get The Value Plan published as a printed book, I can't make anyone move more quickly than they are comfortable doing.

Thank you again for your huge support throughout my campaign.  It definitely has put me in a very good position in my conversations with publishers.  I'm looking forward to updating you all with exciting news as soon as I receive it.

Of course, if you have any questions, please feel free to email me anytime!

Best,

  Philip
