The interests of independent booksellers and independent publishers align in many ways. In a time where uplifting Canadian storytelling, its authors, and the industry as a whole are top of mind, these two sectors have the opportunity to come together to help each other thrive. Join us for an opportunity-focused session where booksellers and independent publishers will share insights into how they’ve strengthened the connection between both sectors, as well as case studies and strategies that have proven successful in terms of sales boosts, increased discoverability, community engagement, and more. In addition to this, BookNet’s very own Kalpna Patel will share an overview of the state of the independent bookselling market from a sales data perspective.
This session is presented by BookNet Canada and the Canadian Independent Booksellers Association (CIBA), in partnership with the Literary Press Group (LPG).
