The Contract and Fee Setting Guide by Howard L. Shenson is much more focused on a particular aspect of consulting. You are welcome to go more or less specific in what your self selected text addresses. There are excellent resources on marketing, making business plans, etc. The American Association of training and Development also published a number of books on how to be a consultant. I have several appropriate books you would be welcome to borrow if you had the time and opportunity to visit my office and make a selection.
Libraries have some very valuable options as well.
The deadline for choosing the self selected text is October 14 . Let me know if you need any assistance on selection. I can help you make certain the selection is appropriate and credible for use in the course. Post your written response to the reading no later than midnight, Sunday, October 15. I am looking for meaningful content.
