The Spring Children's Indie Next List Preview

The Spring 2010 Kids' Indie Next List can now be seen in preview online. The four-page, full-color flier will be arriving at indie bookstores in the upcoming Children's White Box.

The list features the top 10 titles for the spring publishing season and an additional 51 selections, in all age groups. The Indie Next Kids' List is compiled based on nominations from indie booksellers nationwide, and all the titles include a bookseller quote and full bibliographic information. The flier is replete with jacket illustrations.

The Spring Kids' Next List will also be featured on IndieBound.org in a user-friendly, interactive format that gives consumers access to all of the discerning bookseller recommendations and lets them purchase online from their favorite indie bookseller. The list will also be available through the IndieBound iPhone app, which lets users browse Next List selections; search for new titles; find local, indie bookstores (and other indie businesses); buy books online from indie booksellers; and more.

Looking ahead, Friday, February 19, is the deadline for the Indie Next List Poetry Month 2010 nominations. The deadline for the May 2010 Indie Next List is March 5.

Title recommendations may be e-mailed to indienextlist@bookweb.org or submitted via the Indie Next List online nomination form.
