Opening up New Space with BK Community
From the very beginning of our company we've taken the notion that Berrett-Koehler is a community seriously. We've always looked for ways to build that community, to connect with those who feel a connection to us, and to connect members of our community with each other. It turns out this Internet thing is just the ticket!
Over the years we've gradually added features to our main website to make it more interactive, but it just wasn't enough. We didn't want community-building to be an add-on, we wanted it front and center. But there wasn't enough room on one web site, so we created a new one: BK Community.
Officially launching TODAY (June 10th), BK Community is a virtual meeting place, our own social networking site. There are all kinds of ways to interact with your fellow BKers. You can join ongoing conversations or start one of your own. You can join or form topical groups. Members can share photos and videos, blog, announce and register for upcoming events. There are polls and surveys you can participate in, a place you can add links to your favorite apps, and even a map showing where the members of the BK Global community live and read books!
It's all happening at BK Community. We encourage you to get in there and get networking! The site represents an unprecedented opportunity for you to converse with your favorite authors, ask questions of BK staff, find out what other people think of the BK books you like so much. It's a way to break down the old barriers between readers, writers, and publishing company staff.
Enjoy!
