New Book Helps Coworking Space Catalysts Build Community

Coworking: Building Community As Space Catalysts

Note: For the past few months I’ve been full to bursting with news about this book, and now it’s finally here!

Coworking: Building Community As A Space Catalyst is the first book ever written specifically for those who want to start a coworking space in their town, but aren’t sure how to get started.

Co-authored by Angel Kwiatkowski of Cohere and Beth Buczynski of GoneCoworking (that’s me!), this book is useful, hands-on and thought-provoking resource for coworking space catalysts based on the proven principle of “community first, space second.”

Starting any business is hard. Starting a business when the concept has only been around for a handful of years is even harder. This first of its kind book guides wannabe space catalysts through the most important phase of coworking: building the community.

“Coworking: Building Community as a Space Catalyst is a timely and much needed book about the most important movement for independent workers today,” said Neal Gorenflo, founder of Shareable Magazine. Coworking spaces are one of the crucibles from which a new economy will emerge, but it’s essential that the movement hold on to it’s core values of community, collaboration, openness, accessibility, and sustainability as it grows. This book will help new catalysts incoporate these values into their spaces and create a life-affirming economy to replace the destructive one we have today.”

Check out a preview of the book here, and learn how to purchase your own digital copy at a discounted price (limited time only)!

First-Ever Coworking Unconference Dates Announced!

Post to Twitter

Coworking is changing the way people think about work and it’s time we all got together to talk about it.

The Coworking Unconference is a collaboration of people who are leading the charge in the growing coworking movement and are passionate about the future of work. It’s the first event of its kind in the U.S., but the premise certainly isn’t new.

Register for the 2011 Coworking Unconference HERE!

The goal of the unconference is to engage coworking space owners, creative professionals, entrepreneurs, developers, researchers, marketers, educators, and other thought leaders to collaborate and realize smarter and more sustainable work environments. Therefore, the organizers are leaving it up to you, the coworking community, to determine the program content! Contribute ideas for a panel, keynote, or breakout session here.

If you’re trying to decide whether or not to open a space in your area, you’ll be happy to know that the Unconference will coincide with the launch of the first-ever eBook written specifically for coworking space catalysts (co-authored by yours truly and Angel of Cohere Coworking Community in Colorado!)

On the unconference’s registration page, you’ll see an option to pre-order a copy of Coworking: Building Community as a Space Catalyst, the only ebook designed to answer a catalyst’s most common questions when starting a space. It’s available to unconference attendees for just 14.99 (normally 19.99)!

And yes, you can pre-order the book by itself if you can’t make it to the unconference.

See you in Austin!
