Great list! Thanks. I just recently found an author who's new to Twitter: @oppmi - Clark A. Campbell. He wrote the books, One Page Project Manager, and One Page Project Manager for IT Projects (OPPM). The first book is often the #2 book on project management on Amazon and we use it for tracking our projects here at work because it's so simple/straight-forward.

After being in business for 20 years many at a senior level including the CEO of a stock listed company and then an Executive Coach for the lat 9 years I previously used Coveys 7 habits & Goldsmiths what got you here but recently via Twitter came across @DrMollieMarti 's 12 Factors of Business Success and is now the book I use for clients. The key - self-discipline which is the major differentiator between average and success. It's simply THE book for business success and have read many - see http://www.mindtram.com

Thank you for this great resource. I found your original list very useful; this segmented list is even more valuable!
It's fun to see so many familiar names here, many of whom I consider to be my "writing heroes."
Your categories within nonfiction are appropriate. However, as always, it's easier to categorize my software-specific computer books than my graphic design books like Design to Sell and Looking Good in Print.
Best wishes on your efforts. Roger

I'd like to recommend Julia Rogers Hammerick @EasyWorldJulia Julia tweets inspirational messages to help people raise their vibration and experience the joy of living in "Easy World." She's written an energetic, life-altering book called Recreating Eden and her newest title Choosing Easy World will be out in early 2010.
What a great list! I love to connect with other non-fiction authors. Thanks for compiling these individuals from twitter! Best wishes, Carolyn (@clrsimple2)
To the Career section, I'd add Kathryn Marion, author of GRADS: TAKE CHARGE of Your First Year After College! She also tweets lots of great advice (@Tips4Grads) and the book also has a website full of resources that's always growing, www.GradsTakeCharge.com. I've found all these things to be *very* helpful!
