NEW EBOOK SHOWS HOW TO BUILD A COWORKING COMMUNITY
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, 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 its core values of community,
collaboration, openness, accessibility, and sustainability as it grows. This book will help new
catalysts incorporate these values into their spaces and create a life-affirming economy to replace
the destructive one we have today.”
