Publishers and authors may quote from reviews in promotional material (including blurbs on the back of a book), by citing Books+Publishing as the source.

Please don’t cite the old names of the publication, such as ‘Australian Bookseller & Publisher’ or ‘Bookseller+Publisher’.

A good example is this tweet from Allen & Unwin promoting one of their recent junior releases.

Publishing books

Books+Publishing does not publish books, because it is not a book publisher. We publish news about book publishers. A good starting point for seeking a publisher is to contact one of the members listed on the Small Press Network website here.
