 machinery in the main process (even though the logging events are generated in
 the worker processes) to direct the messages to the appropriate destinations.
 
+Using concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you want to use :class:`concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor` to start
+your worker processes, you need to create the queue slightly differently.
+Instead of
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   queue = multiprocessing.Queue(-1)
+
+you should use
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   queue = multiprocessing.Manager().Queue(-1)  # also works with the examples above
+
+and you can then replace the worker creation from this::
+
+    workers = []
+    for i in range(10):
+        worker = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker_process,
+                                         args=(queue, worker_configurer))
+        workers.append(worker)
+        worker.start()
+    for w in workers:
+        w.join()
+
+to this (remembering to first import :mod:`concurrent.futures`)::
+
+    with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as executor:
+        for i in range(10):
+            executor.submit(worker_process, queue, worker_configurer)
