Friday Deadline for Indies Introduce Debut Authors

Friday, November 1, is the final day for ABA member bookstores to select their titles for the Spring 2014 Indies Introduce Debut Authors promotion. 

Stores must select eight titles from a list of 20, deemed by adult and children’s booksellers as the best debuts of the season, and agree to market them through in-store displays, in newsletters, and on store websites and social media.

Bookseller reviews of the titles, which publish between January and May 2014, are available to help stores choose their titles, and Edelweiss has posted the list of Indies Introduce titles for easy ordering.

Stores that participated in previous Indies Introduce promotions have been automatically enrolled; those that do not wish to be included this season should e-mail Dallanegra-Sanger by November 1.

Each week BTW is featuring interviews with authors in either the fall 2013 or spring 2014 promotions. ABA member stores are invited to use these Q&As in newsletters and social media and in online and in-store promotions. Here’s a look at the interviews to date.
