BISAC Code Bible: A Book Category Reference For Writers (How To Work From Home)

THIS BOOK CAN HELP YOUR CAREER AS A WRITER! The Book Industry Study Group, Inc. (BISG) is a U.S.-based trade association for policy, technical standards and research related to books and similar products. The mission of BISG is to simplify logistics for publishers, manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, librarians and others engaged in the business of print and electronic media. Book Industry Standards and Communications (BISAC) Subject Codes are gradually replacing the Dewey Decimal System, which was introduced in 1876. That means that increasingly, the BISAC number of your published work determines where - or if - it is placed in libraries and book stores. When submitting a work for publication, you will often be asked to select a BISAC code and category. Now you can have a better understanding of your THOUSANDS of choices, and select the best category for your book. This can be a very important decision for your sales success. Merely browsing through the thousands of sub-categories can spark ideas for focusing your work to a specific target audience, re-working existing pieces for a new target audience, and making your work attractive to a new market. Not quite as much fun as browsing through a library or bookstore (and you have to make my own coffee), but it€s the next best thing!
