June 9 Signup Deadline for Summer/Fall 2017 Indies Introduce Promotions

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

American Booksellers Association member stores that are new to the Indies Introduce program must sign up by June 9 to take advantage of publisher specials on 10 adult titles and 10 children’s titles chosen by panels of booksellers from across the U.S. as the top debuts of the upcoming publishing season.

The Summer/Fall 2017 Indies Introduce program features titles for adults and for middle grade and young adult readers, all publishing between June and November 2017.

Stores that have taken part in past Indies Introduce promotions do not need to sign up again to take advantage of publishers’ Summer/Fall offers.

To access the list of titles with bookseller blurbs and full details on publishers’ offers, booksellers will need a BookWeb.org login name and password. Booksellers can sign in or create a new password here. The Indies Introduce logo is available for download in BookWeb’s DIY and sell sheets will be included in the June Red Box mailing.

Booksellers will have the opportunity to hear from authors of the Summer/Fall Indies Introduce picks at BookExpo. “Booksellers Present Indies Introduce Authors,” to be held on Thursday, June 1, from 11:15 a.m. to noon, on the Downtown Stage on the trade show floor, will feature the bookseller panelists who curated the diverse list of upcoming titles and many of the authors, who will each read a short passage from their debuts and answer a question posed by a panelist.
