Publisher Picks: Spring Picks from Canadian Independent Publishers

CIBA's Publisher Picks series is back with its Spring 2025 edition! We will bring you to the heart of publisher marketing discussions to discover the season's best bets from Canadian Independent Publishers.

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. 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 each be presenting one book - a highlight from the season!

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