March Networking Hosted by Back Bay Social Club

Spring is coming (despite the weather in Massachusetts today!), and Bookbuilders welcomes everyone looking for a fresh start in building a professional network.

Our March Casual Networking Event, held at the Back Bay Social Club, included participants from VitalSource, Pearson Learning, Copyright Clearance Center, Symmetry, Brill, and Hamilton Printing. This time around, I learned a bit about some new types of electronic products being produced, as well as an emphasis on "content creation." We have a lot of educational publishing in Boston, and content creation often prevails over the traditional royalty author model. If I were starting new and in Boston, it's something I would explore.

Join us next month for bowling in Davis Square. Details are on the Bookbuilders website!
