Gower Handbook of Internal Communication
It's done. The first draft of the Handbook is up there on the Wiki: 49 chapters by 31 authors - some of the best thinkers in internal comms in the world. I am enormously grateful for the contributions so many people have put into the book. But I'm even more grateful that the first draft is finished.

Very insightful material. Robertson's and Wright's articles were especially helpful for someone like me who is currently in the process of formulating an internal communication plan. Great Job!
