Last week’s two-day, virtual BK Authors Nonfiction Book Marketing Workshop kept up its tradition of providing high-quality information and networking opportunities. As in previous years, I will write in a future post about my takeaways and a-ha moments.
The event was open to non-BK authors, a number of whom have published books elsewhere, but here I’m concentrating only on books published by Berrett-Koehler. In addition, some of speakers, including closing keynoter Pamela Slim, have books with other publishers. The authors below were speakers, facilitators, and participants. Because of the highly participatory nature of the event, I’ve widened the list to the latter category, though I’ve noted below the roles of the most-featured authors.
While a number of these authors have published more than one book, I’ve limited my list to one per author, with their most recent book. If their most recent book was published by a different publisher, I defaulted to their latest BK book.
Stay tuned for my future post with more reflections about the workshop. In the meantime, I hope you will add some of these books to your summer reading list!
