NEW YORK & LONDON -- (Business Wire)
NOOK Media LLC, a subsidiary of Barnes & Noble, Inc. (NYSE:BKS),
the leading retailer of content, digital media and educational products,
today announced that NOOK Press (www.nookpress.com)
has partnered with The Bookseller on a new preview section for
self-published authors in the UK named ‘The Bookseller’s Independent
Author Previews.’
NOOK Press will sponsor the new section and will be the exclusive source
of self-published titles for preview consideration through April 2015.
Each month, beginning in October, The Bookseller will select
approximately 10 NOOK Press titles to feature on the new section.
Authors simply have to be published on NOOK Press, or sign up and
publish their works, to have the opportunity to be featured in The
Bookseller’s Independent Author Previews.
“Our goal with this new section is to discover the best new books
published independently and made available to customers in the UK and
we’re thrilled to have partnered with NOOK Press, one of the leading
self-publishing platforms, to exclusively deliver this content through
next April,” said Philip Jones, Editor at The Bookseller. “This
is a new spin on what we have been doing for more than 100 years, and
recognizes that some of the best new writing now comes through
non-traditional channels. The Bookseller’s job remains the same,
however, to shout about these books and bring them to the attention of
our audiences. I know we’re all excited to read some of the great new
publishing being made available through NOOK Press in the UK.”
“We are constantly looking at new ways to help NOOK Press authors get
the exposure they deserve, which is why we’re thrilled about this new
partnership with The Bookseller. It will give our self-published
authors a new outlet to showcase their work, while giving NOOK customers
another resource to discover their next great read,” said Colin Eustace,
General Manager, Barnes & Noble S.à.r.l. “We also encourage
self-published authors who are not yet on our platform to sign up today
to be considered for this great opportunity and discover all of the
great promotions available to NOOK Press authors.”
In addition to being featured online at www.thebookseller.com,
authors included in the Independent Author Previews section may also be
promoted through The Bookseller’s sister consumer books’ magazineWe
Love This Book, including online placements and customer
emails. NOOK Press will also help promote titles featured in the
Independent Author Previews through unique merchandising opportunities
like NOOK First and NOOK Press Presents, as well as customer emails,
social media and more.
NOOK Press is an innovative self-publishing platform offering authors a
fast, easy and free way to write, edit, collaborate and publish the
highest quality eBooks and make them available to millions of avid
reading customers. Titles that launch through NOOK Press are available
on NOOK devices and Free NOOK Reading Apps™ in the US and UK,
