Publisher Picks: Books for Adults (Independent Publishers)

CIBA's newest events bring you to the heart of publisher marketing discussions to discover the season's best bets – the books you might not (yet) know you need to stock, but will definitely be glad you have on hand. 

The goal of these sessions is to give booksellers an insider look at seasonal releases you need to be aware of, and why these books are going to have buzz this season. The focus is on titles that may be flying under the radar, not on the big-name bestsellers. You'll learn both the why and the how from publishers – why they predict these books will be talked about and how you can best put them in customers' hands. 

Publishers will be presenting highlights only, the books that unexpectedly caught their attention, in a speed-dating format. The lineup of publishers will be announced in early January 2022. 

Who should attend? Bookstore owners, managers and staff to find out upcoming publisher highlights and how to sell them.
