Lifescripts was originally published in 1996. At the time, few people thought that there was a market for a book that told people exactly what to say to get what they want in difficult conversations. However, Stuart Krichevsky of the Stuart Krichevsky Literary Agency believed in the project. Lifescripts is just one out of hundreds of confirmations of Stuart's wisdom. His knowledge of the publishing industry is only surpassed by his loyalty and humanity.

Over the years Lifescripts became a cottage industry, expanding into ever wider areas. That required gathering input from a number of insightful and savvy individuals: Michael Caplan, Jonathan Epps, Andrew Frothingham, Erik Kolbell, Deirdre Martin, William Martin, Nick Morrow, Allison Noel, Aldo Pascarella, and Roni Beth Tower. Joining that list of experts in this new edition is Frankie Martin, whose expertise on managing a multigenerational, multicultural, and gender diverse workforce is unsurpassed. Thanks to all of these experts who've helped Lifescripts remain a powerful tool to empower readers to get the most they can out of life.
