Each month, we email over 1,000 independent booksellers with news of galleys, reading copies or finished books that publishers are offering for review. After receiving a free review copy from you, stores will read and decide whether to carry the title. We make no promises, but the Advance Access program has proved to be a very effective way to get the word out about titles. Stores will email you directly, and generally, you can expect requests from 25-50 booksellers.

All book descriptions must be sent to Pete Reynolds at peter@bookweb.org with title, author, publisher, ISBN, subject category, publication date, the number of free copies you have to offer, a maximum three-sentence description, and an email address to which the booksellers can write to directly request a copy.

An example follows:

***************************
TITLE XYZ by David Smith, (Publisher, ISBN: 0-000-00000-0, $23.95, hardcover, September 2008, Mystery/Thriller). A three-sentence description of the title here. No more than 70 words, please. Number of galleys available.
mailto:yournamehere@emailaddress.com
***************************

(Please do NOT include website information or attach press releases or jacket images.) Due to high volume, it may take us 2-3 weeks from your first writing until word of your book offer gets emailed to the stores.

IMPORTANT: Due to the volume of offers and the staff time it takes to process and aggregate them, we must charge $150 per title for this program. Please send your check for $150 per title offered, payable to American Booksellers Association, to ABA, 200 White Plains Rd., Tarrytown, NY 10591 ATTN: Sadie Evans. If you prefer to pay by credit card, please call Sadie at 914-591-2665 x 6622 or email her at sadie@bookweb.org to make those arrangements.
