Hello

First of all – Happy New Year to all our lovely members!

Apologies if that’s the 235,078th time you’ve heard those fateful words, but it’s obligatory.

BOOKMACHINE UNPLUGGED

We are very excited to announce that TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE for the Unplugged events series. We are officially launching tomorrow, but as a member you can already use the promotional code UNPLUGGEDMEMBER for your free tickets.

[Just click here, choose your Unplugged events and get yours]

We want to thank Suzanne Kavanagh for curating such an incredible variety of events. The series sets to answer the simple question: what is happening in the world of publishing right now? We want to encourage a sense of cohesion and collaboration between departments so there will be 5 events throughout the year, focusing on Editorial, Production, Design, Marketing & Publicity and Tech, and they are for everyone, no matter what department you’re working in.

TRAINING

If you would like to sign-up to Understanding Ebooks or Understanding InDesign, then use the code 25MEMBER for your £25 discount. There are only 5 discounted places available of the 10 total places on each course.

MEMBERSHIP

Memberships have been upgraded and are now better than ever. The cost of BookMachine membership is now higher, but your membership will be automatically upgraded and the price will stay exactly the same. With our individual membershipyou get:

• a BookMachine profile
• a ticket to each BookMachine event
• free entry to the London Book Fair and Frankfurt Book Fair
• discounts on training courses and with BookMachine partners

And with our promoted membership you get all that plus a promoted profile and now THREE tickets to every BookMachine event, so your friends and colleagues can reap the benefits too. (please don’t share the code, but book the multiple tickets under your name so that we can cross-reference bookings with members)

THE NEW WEBSITE

It is here, it is live, it is snazzy and we very much hope you like it. The new website gives you an overview of upcoming events, upgraded membership options and access to the newly designed Knowledge Base.

We’d love to know what you want to see more of and we look forward to seeing you at some of the upcoming events in 2018.

Have brilliant January!

See you soon!

Claire & the BookMachine Team

PS We’ll share the codes for the TLS events when they are finalised!
