A lesson for writers, from Stephen Sondheim, Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters that never fails to bring a tear to the eye and to rekindle that elusive "muse." "Anything you do, let it come from you, then it will be new...give us more to see..."
Sheryl Sandberg is probably running the book campaign of the year. From a marketing perspective there is a lot to be learned. The combination of "hot topic", "celebrity factor" and "community" obviously plays a big role. #bespractice #marketing #campaign

#university If you create your own covers then you know how difficult it can be. I have a few tricks that I've learned and wanted to share them with you. This is a site (currently free in Alpha) that allows you to upload a picture and remove the background - http://clippingmagic.com/ I usually have trouble and it takes so long with many of the other products I use, but this one is so easy. I'm not sure when they will remove from Alpha stage, but it's free right now and very easy to use. all you have to do is give a quick swipe to the object you want to keep and then use the red to swipe the area you want to disappear...simple. Try it out for yourself.
