FYI: completing the "Submitting Your Book to be Listed on AALBC" form does not mean it will be included on the site.  If a book is reviewed, then the form may be used, but more likely we will pull the book's metadata from the publisher's website. 

 

The form is primarily used by authors who already have an author profile and are informing us about a new book, authors who have just purchase an author profile, and publishers/authors who have purchased advertising on AALBC.
