PREFERRED READING GENRE & ARC REQUEST SURVEY
Fill Out our Preferred Reading Genre and ARC Request Survey We created this program for booksellers to let publishers know what genres they prefer reading and to help the right ARCs and Galleys get to the right booksellers. We also intended this program to help prioritize ARC shipping and cut down on waste. This info is shared with all GLIBA member publishing partners. |
