Berrett-Koehler Authors Cooperative

Creating Together What We Can’t Create Alone

Berrett-Koehler Authors’ Cooperative Retreat
October 8-11, 2009
Sequoia Retreat Center
Ben Lomand, California

A world of community, connectivity, and inspiration awaits.

This is your opportunity to get focused, get centered, and get productive. The program we have planned this year is focused on your needs—the need to slow down and rest deeply, the opportunity to learn from your fellow BK authors, and the time to practice the skills that are emerging as critical for successful authors. All this and more is at hand at a magnificent location that has been held sacred since 1949. Prepare to be inspired.

The events will include Forums for Collaboration:

Open space forums

Networking time, including welcoming the first timers

The view from Steve Piersanti on the shifting tectonics of publishing

Tested ideas from Berrett-Koehler staff on marketing success

Processes that build community

Opportunities to improve your writing, your marketing, your presence

Unstructured time for meditation, walking, and rest

And some fun!
