Regretful Book Review: Perspectivas de Mujeres

Title: Perspectivas de Mujeres en Direccion de Proyectos en Latinoamerica

Author: Angelica Maria Larios Arias

Date: "Si bien la ultima decada mostro un aumento constante en las mujeres gerentes de proyectos, todavia hay mucho espacio para que mas mujeres asumen estos roles y desarrollen su carrera profesional." 

When I reviewed the English edition of this e-book I noted that what I'd received was more of a book proposal than a book, and looked forward to reading the rest of the original Spanish version. It is a sad duty to report that what I received in Spanish is still a book proposal not a book. 

The policy of this web site is not to reward writers who promise readers e-books and send us book proposals. It's understandable that, before investing a lot of time and money in researching and writing a book, writers want to know that the book will be published, sold, and read. However, if writers want to enlist reviewers to help market a book proposal to publishers, they need to pay for our time--and frankly they'd be cheating themselves; a reviewer has a different job and skill set from an agent.
