ABA Publisher Survey for Bookstores
ABA has meetings with publishers to advocate on behalf of bookstores throughout the year. Once a year they have official, longer meetings with publishers and their teams, including key decision-makers. This survey is an opportunity for booksellers to help inform the agenda for those meetings. The deadline is April 7.

Applications are open for the Susan Kamil Emerging Writers Prize
The Susan Kamil Emerging Writers Prize was established in 2024 by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter and bestselling author Charles Duhigg and his wife, Dr. Liz Alter, a professor of biology at California State University Monterey Bay. In 2024, five $10,000 prizes were given booksellers and comic retailers, providing emerging writer-booksellers the financial support to focus on a full-length manuscript. In 2025 two $12,500 prizes will be awarded.
