We all know Thanksgiving is a time to contemplate the things that we’re thankful for among other activities that involve a mouthful. So here goes. At FSB we’re thankful for the continued support from authors, publishers, editors, and bloggers that have become so tightly knit for one common purpose. The love of reading.
We’re not too sure who to thank for this next one, but we’re grateful for the incredible networking revolution that has formed this phenomenon we call social media. Where would we be in this big wide world without the ability to group together like-minded folks from all corners of the globe?
That brings us to the FSB ambassadors that connect our authors to a world of readers out there. The talented crew here has put more books on the map than previously imagined. We’ve seen big article placements on Business Insider, Monster.com Excelle, and CNN Living in just the last two weeks alone by our three star publicists Anna Suknov, Julie Harabedian, and Leyane Jerejian. We’re pretty sure our authors are going to share in the thanks this week as well. A tip of the hat goes out to all of us behind the scenes including Digital Media Specialist Jaime Saranczak, Office Administrator Ruby Mansuri, and myself for helping set a stage for smooth campaigns and business support. A big warm thanks goes out to our leaders Fauzia and John Burke for their guidance and expertise in bringing the best out of the team here at FSB Associates.
It can’t all be about business though. In fact, I’m truly thankful that there’s a nationally observed holiday for celebrating recognition. A day of gratitude for being able to lift our heads from keyboards and mobile devices to see we haven’t completely lost one another when we surface from our digital mines. With virtual spaces replacing the physical world, it has never been more important to share time with family as now. What with our voices drowning in a sea of algorithms and our vision of the world filtered through ever finer pixillation, it becomes increasingly difficult to hold on to what we know in our hearts is the real world when even our senses deceive us. So, for the sake of preserving our physical surroundings, let’s make an oath to pull the cyber-plug and connect with family this week. In fact, let’s make it a regular thing. After all, while trends in politics, technology, and business come and go, you share them with relatives who, living and resting, are eternal.
Happy Thanksgiving!
