Rights at Berrett-Koehler: May 2016, another stellar month (featuring Devora Zack!)

May 2016 was another great month for the rights department, and Devora Zack had a lot to do with it. Her books Networking for People Who Hate Networking, Managing for People Who Hate Managing and Singletasking have brought 45 licensing to deals to BK, and in May we added 4 languages to the list for her latest book Singletasking (making it to a total of 15 languages!) So it was very fitting that we would receive a visit from her the Friday before Memorial Day. As it is usual on Fridays (and especially this one), many staff members work at home, but Charlotte Ashlock and I were around, and happy to pose for a photo taken by Devora's adorable 12 year old son Asher. Congratulations, Devora, and all our other BK authors who had sales this month. Here is the list:
