The NEIBA Book Alert exists to promote regional titles to New England independent bookstores. To be eligible, a book must either be about New England, set in New England, or written by a New England author. Independent bookstores must also be able to easily purchase the title through the publisher or a wholesaler. Titles that are self-published through Amazon.com or only available for sale on consignment cannot be considered.
Book Alerts are sent 6 times a year (in January, March, May, July, September, and November). The NEIBA Book Alert includes a profile on our website for the two-month period, a dedicated post on Facebook and Instagram, and a Book Alert e-blast that is sent to NEIBA’s 950+ contacts.
The cost is $200. Since the goal of this program is to get your book into booksellers' hands (and hopefully, onto their shelves), you must also make least 5 physical copies of your title (ARCs or finished copies) available for our members' requests.
To participate, please complete this form and upload your cover image below. Once your form has been accepted, you will receive an invoice for the $200 fee.
