From the author of The Art of the Handwritten Note, a sophisticated guide on how to glide through conversations at work, at cocktails and just about anywhere.
MARGARET SHEPHERD is a noted author, calligrapher, and
teacher, who writes about civilized communication in many forms. In
addition to The Art of Civilized Conversation, she has
written fourteen books about calligraphy. Advocating for better and
more civilized communication, she has appeared in programs on
television, forums at MIT, and news articles around the country.
She lives in Boston.
SHARON HOGAN writes books on topics that range from aging to
dog training. She enjoys civilized conversations with other authors
about book concepts, and she leads workshops on nonfiction writing
for physicians. She lives near Boston.
"Just as a civilized conversation can get the morning off to a
great start, it can enhance your work life all through the day and
invigorate an evening of social life. If you enjoy the art of
conversation with your family and friends, you will also shine at
breakfast with a client, lunch with coworkers, and dinner with your
boss. It's the Swiss Army knife of social skills that anyone can
learn to use. Take it with you wherever you go, and you'll be
equipped to turn a seatmate into a confidant, an interviewer into
an employer, and an acquaintance into a friend. As an accomplished
conversationalist, you'll be welcomed everywhere; everyone loves
good conversation because it is fun."
