The Winter Children's Indie Next List Preview

The Winter 2009/2010 Kids' Indie Next List can now be seen in preview online [1]. The four-page, full-color flier will be arriving at indie bookstores in the upcoming quarterly Children's White Box.

The list features the top 10 titles for the winter publishing season and 50 additional selections, ranging from picture books to novels for teens, compiled based on nominations from indie booksellers nationwide. All the titles include a bookseller quote and full bibliographic information.

The Winter Kids' Next List will also be featured on IndieBound.org [2] 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. And the list is also available via the IndieBound iPhone app [3], 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, the 2010 Indie Next List nomination deadlines [4] have been posted on BookWeb.org. The next deadline will be on Friday, December 4, for the February 2010 Next List. Title recommendations may be e-mailed to indienextlist@bookweb.org [5] or submitted via the Indie Next List online nomination form [6].
