Like the fashion industry, publishing has two seasons each year to “formally” announce forthcoming titles to trade librarians and booksellers. Spring and Fall lists typically revolve around a marketing and publicity blitz for the publishers’ lead titles. These include catalogues and other advance notification mailings, galleys to reviewers, planned marketing, and advertising strategies.

Trade journals normally devote prime editorial space to Seasonal Announcements as well. ForeWord showcases the offerings from the independent press community on the Web. The listing of submitted announcements will soon be updated weekly during the Spring 2009 season. Right now, you may click the link below to view the entire list from the current announcement season (the version published in our July/August print issue was edited to conform to space constraints).

This is a FREE service, but title information from your publicity department must be input electronically to our website.

Register with ForeWord Connections to submit your announcements.
