Crowdsourcing and Patti Digh -- Unintended Attention

Looking in the MEMOIR SECTION for Life is a Verb, Patti Digh's essay collection? Check SELF-HELP, instead.

Me? I'd put copies in REFERENCE, with writing books, and BUSINESS/ECONOMICS, alongside Jeff Howe's Crowdsourcing: Why the Power of the Crowd is Driving the Future of Business.

The book's back-story is a fascinating study in social media meets literary market -- one person’s need to give voice to life-changing epiphany and the growing crowd that keeps ramping up the volume on her microphone.

Details? Start with EllouiseStory's Digh interview, today’s stop on the book's blog tour.
