On Monday, the Windword collaboration Connected: Building Relationships to Achieve Success and Make a Lasting Impact, by Patricia Bathory, won gold in the Axiom Business Book Awards in the networking category. On Tuesday, the same book was named to the short list in the prescriptive nonfiction category of Gotham Ghostwriters' Andy Awards for books whose authors used a collaborator. In this case, the collaborator was Windword's own Toni Robino. Congrats to both.

Ideally, choosing which way to go and what to focus on is a matter of serving the reader. Are you such an important figure that literally millions of admirers want every detail of your life, career-related or otherwise?
