Wie ich durch dieses Interview mit dem Gründer Jeff Rivera erfahren habe, ist vor ein paar Tagen die Seite The Gatekeepers Post mit einem hohen Anspruch gestartet:

Well, that’s just the thing, there isn’t another site for the book publishing industry like ours. The Gatekeepers Post is the first relevant social media book publishing community on the web. To have this level of top-tier professionals in the industry all band together under one roof, tells you that the industry was ready for something like this.
