Sign Up to Take Advantage of Special Offers on 20 Indies Introduce Debut Titles
Printer-friendly versionPublishers are once again offering specials on 10 adult titles and 10 kids’ titles chosen by panels of American Booksellers Association member booksellers from across the U.S. as the top debuts of the upcoming publishing season.
The Summer/Fall 2020 Indies Introduce program features titles for adults, young adults, and middle grade readers, all publishing between June and October 2020.
This year, the Indies Introduce panelists and authors will take part in two special events to present the chosen titles. The virtual events will take place as follows:
- Adult titles: Thursday, June 4, at 3:00 p.m. ET
- Kids’ titles: To be held during the virtual Children’s Institute program, July 15-16
Watch Bookselling This Week for more news about these events.
For stores that have taken part in past Indies Introduce promotions, there’s no need to sign up to take advantage of publishers’ Summer/Fall offers; however, stores that are new to Indies Introduce must complete the Indies Introduce sign-up form by June 15 in order to participate in the program.
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 (email [email protected] for login information). Titles are also listed on Edelweiss. The Indies Introduce logo is available for download in the Marketing Assets section, which is located under BookWeb’s “For Booksellers” tab.
