Penguin Launches Book Country Writing Community

Penguin Group (USA) has launched a new writing community dedicated to genre fiction called Book Country. Readers can review books, post their own writing, and meet other readers at the new site.

Right now the site offers articles from publishing professionals and discussion boards. Later this year, the company plans to offer self publishing services.

Here’s more from the website description: “Our free community is a creative and supportive space where fiction writers and readers can give and receive constructive criticism, discover new and entertaining books, discuss and share tips and experiences, and learn about the publishing industry. Book Country aims to be useful, egalitarian, and merit-based while fostering an atmosphere of encouragement and creativity.”

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.
