Reporting hours are Saturday, 3 PM ET to Tuesday 3 AM ET.  

It is important to keep in mind that the vast majority of titles listed on IndieBound.org, and on our IndieCommerce member websites come from Ingram Book Company's iPage database. Generally speaking, if a title is listed with them (even if they don't actually carry it), it is listed with us. If you are a publisher, you'll want to contact Ingram to inquire about listing your catalog with them. You can find publisher-specific contact info here:

Booksellers provide recommendations for books they have enjoyed reading and look forward to handselling in their stores. In turn, ABA produces three types of Next Lists at different intervals throughout the year. Member stores receive a quantity of the physical Indie Next List fliers printed in four-color. For participating e-newsletter stores, the lists are distributed electronically to their customers as store-branded e-newsletters with buy buttons linking back to the stores’ websites.

Indies Introduce was developed with the goal of discovering new voices and building relationships between independent booksellers and authors who are at the beginning of their careers. Due to quantity limitations and at booksellers’ request, ABA limits the number of publishers it solicits, and the number of submissions per publisher. Decisions regarding submissions are subject to ABA's discretion.
