Publisher Partners are vital to ABA – they offer support through underwriting, sponsorships, and participation in mailings and events. Publisher support helps get more books into the hands of the vital independent bookselling market, and in turn, helps get those books into the hands of the reading public.
1. Go to: http://www.indiebound.org/publishers and create an IndieBound.org user account.
2. For each book trailer video you’d like to post, enter the ISBN, and the URL for the video on YouTube (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obK4i1oaC70). You can also note whether this book has been selected for an edition of the Indie Next List.
3. Please allow 1-3 days for review & approval. This is just to ensure that unauthorized parties are not able to add content to book pages. You will receive an email notification when your video has been approved.
Traditional publishers of five (5) books or more per year can take advantage of the ABA Publisher Partner Program. You must be an ABA Associate Member for certain Program opportunities.
