This list of recommendations of our book industry peers has been carefully developed to offer you the best in the booktrade. Our partners respect the high-end books we develop and create for special markets. In turn, we look to our partners to provide high-end book marketing and publicity efforts to our clients for those books we have carefully built....

A well-rounded solution for publisher success. When you are successful, everybody who has helped you is successful.

Here are our A-list recommendations...

BOOKTRADE PUBLISHER REPRESENTATION

Absolute Bookworks

Larry Fox is a highly selective Independent Publisher's Representative. With more than 25 years in the booktrade, Fox's recommendations are revered by the booktrade's major buyers and master distributors. If Larry says a book is worth carrying, then it is. Absolute Bookworks will help independent publishers secure distribution and assist in getting the book purchased by the major book chains and independent bookstores.

Not every book is accepted by Mr. Fox. A book must possess various booktrade standards and be an outstanding commercial book with strong sales potential. Absolute Bookworks relies on Premier Publisher as a screening filter.

We will preview your book and your marketing ideas in order to make a recommendation to Mr. Fox. If approved, we'll recommend it to Absolute Bookworks and discuss your book's potential with Mr. Fox to influence their review. Not all books will be recommended.

If you think your book has commercial qualities with strong retail potential, then submit it to us for our review.
