New Books

If you have a newly published book, please send me the 10–digit ISBN (I cannot use the 13–digit), a copy of the cover, the text on the flap (description of book), and the date of release (month/year) for our new books section on the home page. You can send this by e–mail (.jpg or .gif plus text—see Photo File Specifications below). Please make sure that the flap text is in a format that I can copy and paste. Type it directly into an e–mail or send a Word or text document as an attachment. You may send me release updates throughout the year. If you have a photo of your cover prior to its release, you may send me the information early.

I will list your new book(s) on the home page with the link to both your feature page and amazon for approximately 6 months. I will place the photo and information on your feature page for as long as you want it there. I will leave it until you send information about another book or until you tell me to delete the information. Thanks!
