You could also try contacting writer Richard Todd c/o Inc Magazine.
He?s a writer who has this listing in this month?s issue:
?Richard Todd has written about the intersection of finance and
culture for The Atlantic Monthly , Preservation , and The New York
Times. Todd brings social history, modern case studies, and his
own experience to bear in his story about handshake deals (page 98),
which reveals how dangerous it has become to close a deal in America
without a written contract.?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Newsweek, or Newsweek?s ?The Tip Sheet?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Newsweek, of course, does book reviews, but your book might fit
better into The Tip Sheet, described below:

and International Affairs, Business, Science & Technology,
Medicine, Family and Arts & Entertainment. Additional coverage
is provided through ?The Tip Sheet,? a how-to newsletter for

books on unemployment by Jennifer Barrett, of Newsweek. You can see

I know that you want business publications slanted toward
your type of book, but I?m also including three of the biggest
circulation general business magazines. You owe it to yourself
to try and get the biggest exposure possible. Even if they?re
not pre-disposed to seek out progressive books on management,
with the right pitch letteryou might entice them. After all, they
want to appear eclectic and with it.
First I did a Google search for Top Ten Business Magazines
Found: Top Ten Links at:

Popularity to find the largest circulation.

Business Week does carry book reviews. A recent one, by Thomas D.
Sullivan , ?Why Design Matters: Two new books illustrate why good
design is crucial to keeping modern technology working safely --
and also makes people feel better.?
Another is:
"A Lifeline for Those Jobless and Adrift
Much-fired author Michael Laskoff learned the hard way how to

Here?s another I?d suggest because they?re most likely to be
interested in North Carolinians:
-------------------------------------------------------------
North Carolina Magazine- circulation 16,200
----------------------------------------------------------
?North Carolina magazine has served as "The Voice of Business,
Industry and the Professions" since 1943. As the official
publication of NCCBI, the monthly magazine covers management,
foreign trade, public policy, legal and judicial issues,
economic development, legislative and regulatory issues,
and other topics.? Since you are in North Carolina, they
might be interested in talking with
you, as a native son author.
They?re at:
http://www.nccbi.org/north.htm
The August issue will have a small business focus, so if you
pitch your ideas and book before June 30, someone could interview
you about how your management techniques would work in small
business for the August issue.
Here are three editorial contacts:
·Editor Steve Tuttle, 919-836-1411, stuttle@nccbi.org
·Managing Editor Mike Lancaster, 919-836-1408, mlancaster@nccbi.org
·Senior Editor Kevin Brafford, 919-836-1412, kbrafford@nccbi.org
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The Journal of Management, Spirituality, and Religion
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This is is an academic journal, perhaps too academic for your
purposes. It?s intended to be a venue for academic research and
ideas.It is new this year, and does do book reviews. I?m including
it because the combination of management and spirituality is such
a close match thematically with your book. The editorial board is
comprised mainly of academics. Perhaps they?d like to use your book
to teach their courses?
The editors and editorial board can be found below. If you know,
or know of, any of these individuals, perhaps they?d like to
review your book for the magazine or assign it to a reviewer.
http://www.jmsr.com/editor.html
http://www.jmsr.com/board.html
You can contact the editors at the e-mail addresses on the top
address above. If you?d like to contact the editorial board or
submit an article yourself, you can through : editor@jmsr.com
------------------------------------------------------------------
The Workplace Spirituality Website
------------------------------------------------------------------
topic, althoughit is a website, not a magazine. You?d have to provide
your own article for no money. The Workplace Spirituality Website
is at:
http://www.workplacespirituality.info/index.html
The Editor is Nancy Smith, she is a minister and writer, and is
looking for perspectives other than Christian, since she offers
the Christian one.
There?s a section in the site called ?Applying Spiritual Values
on the Job,? which sounds right for you.
To contact her, e-mail : webmaster@workplacespirituality.info
Anyway, this should give you a good start toward marketing your
book. If there is anything incomplete or unclear, please hit the

Good luck in getting some dynamite reviews!
