Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: [New book] Building Belonging is both a practical guide and a collective framework for starting intentional community from a whole systems approach.

[Diana Leafe Christian (diana]

Hi Neil,

I'd like to review Yana's book for Communities magazine, for the fall or winter 
issue. Chris, the editor, and I think I'd be a good person to write it since 
it's in my field. Chris suggested I ask Kim Kanney of Community bookshelf for a 
review copy,  a physical book, not a kindle copy.

Is that what I should do? Or should I ask you directly, if the FIC is the 
publisher?

Thank you. I look forward to reading it.

Do you remember emailing several months ago and asking that we set up a Zoom 
call for a visit? I responded right away saying I'd like to, but I didn't hear 
back from you. I hope you got that email. And would you still like to arrange a 
visit on Zoom sometime? Or by phone?

Diana
