Spring 2015 Announcements
Needed: Information on adult and children's trade titles (new titles only, no reprints) being published in all general trade formats (hardcover, trade paper, mass market, audio, e-book) between Feb. 1, and July 31, 2015. Publishers are invited to enter their data online at publishersweekly.com/spring2015submissions.The submission period opens on November 6 and closes on December 8.
Publishers can use the site to enter the following information for each book: title, subtitle, imprint, series, author/contributor, price, pub date, print run, and format, along with a synopsis, author bio, and jacket or interior art. For each title, the publisher must submit a 50-word “PW Pitch"--a concise description of the content or plot of the book (no hyperbolic catalogue copy or taglines please), as well as a BISAC category.
Note to Edelweiss clients: Even if your catalogues are hosted by Edelweiss, you must submit your titles through the PW/Edelweiss portal, at the address above, prior to the December 8 deadline in order to be eligible for our listings.
There is no limit to the number of titles that a publisher can submit, but each must be scheduled to publish within the date range specified above in order to be considered for inclusion.
PW reserves the right to edit entries for consistency, coherence, and concision; submission of titles does not guarantee inclusion in print.
This information will form the basis of our print announcement issues. The adult announcements issue will focus on the highlights of the upcoming season in several genres and categories; the children’s announcements issue will feature a comprehensive presentation of the season’s new titles.
For questions regarding adult announcements, contact jsegura@publishersweekly.com. For questions regarding children's announcements, contact Natasha Gilmore at ngilmore@publishersweekly.com. For technical issues with the online entry process, please contact support@abovethetreeline.com.
The adult announcements listings will be accessible to PW subscribers on the PW website around Jan. 26, 2015; children's listings will be available around Feb. 16, 2015.
