PW Select for Kobo Authors
Kobo has partnered with Publishers Weekly and its BookLife website.
KWL authors have special access to the power of Publishers Weekly.
Have you self-published an amazing novel? An inspiring memoir? Are you looking to get your book in front a wider audience—an audience that includes publishing industry insiders and taste-makers? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
Every month, Publishers Weekly and BookLife, its website for indie authors, publish PW Select, a supplement dedicated to covering the self-publishing industry that features interviews with authors, book announcements and listings, news, features, analysis, book reviews, and more.
PW Select is a great way to help your book stand out in a crowded market. When you sign up to participate in PW Select, you’ll be reaching Publishers Weekly’s readership of book and film agents, booksellers, editors, distributors, librarians, book reviewers, and national and international media--just the kind of people who can take a book and make it a bestseller. We’ve helped launch a few writing careers already. Maybe you’re next.
How Does PW Select Work?
When you register, your book receives an announcement listing in PW Select--which is bound into issues of Publishers Weekly and appears online at publishersweekly.com. Every announcement listing includes bibliographic, marketing, and editorial information about your book--so you can promote it to booksellers, publishers, agents, and industry insiders.
In addition your book will receive promotion on:
- the home page of PublishersWeekly.com
- the home page of BookLife.com
- BookLife's weekly email newsletter to 24,000 recipients
- BookLife's Twitter and Facebook channels
Plus you receive:
- a six month digital subscription to Publishers Weekly
- a one year digital subscription to Publishers Weekly's PW Select monthly supplement
- a free copy of the Publishers Weekly print issue in which your listing appears
