Community Values and Guidelines
The BookMachine community is an open and accessible online space for those in the publishing industry to share, collaborate and discuss whilst developing their careers, growing their networks and learning new skills.
To achieve this we welcome members to engage with each other as much as possible to encourage new connections, inspiration and opportunities. We hope that people will leave the BookMachine community feeling positive and uplifted. We value collaboration over competition.
Wherever you are at on your journey, whether you are an intern, designer or editor-in-chief, everyone can be a leader and instigate change. We ask you to participate and be sociable – this community is for you to connect with other professionals, to make the changes you wish to see.
