How do I manage the title information seen by booksellers and librarians?
Booksellers and libraries will see your title information via two sources: JRB catalogues and order forms, and from the metadata tied to your ISBN. The information you supply at submission will be included in the JRB catalogue, circulated to their bookselling network. JRB creates an Advance Information sheet for your book, which details all the key information booksellers may wish to know before stocking your title. Please find some information on advance information sheets by Jericho Writers here. Many book title databases and retailer websites will upload title information automatically from the metadata of your ISBN. JRB is unable to modify your ISBN information, as they do not have access to your publisher account with Thorpe Bowker Identifer Services. As such, we highly recommend members joining the JRB Distribution arrangement update their ISBN information via Thorpe Bowker’s My Identifiers website, where you originally purchased your ISBN. This way, you can ensure consistency across the JRB system and other title databases that use your ISBN metadata. To learn more about assigning and editing metadata on your ISBN, please read the Thorpe Bowker resource here.
