PW Calls for Bookstore and Rep of the Year Nominations

Publishers Weekly is seeking nominations for its 2013 Bookstore and Sales Rep of the Year awards.

Nominees for PW Bookstore of the Year should operate a professional storefront retail bookstore in the U.S. and should excel in buying, vendor relations, marketing, handselling, customer care, community involvement, management-employee relations, merchandising, and business operations. Candidates cannot nominate themselves, nor can family members nominate them. Nominations should indicate what makes this bookstore stand out.

The PW Sales Rep of the Year award is open to both telephone and in-person sales representatives, who booksellers can rely on for information, guidance, and support. As part of their nomination, booksellers should include a story or example of their rep’s commitment to excellence.

The deadline for nominations for both awards is March 1 at 8:00 a.m. EST.

Nominations should be submitted to Donna Paz Kaufman or Judith Rosen at PWawards@publishersweekly.com [1], or by fax to (904) 261-6742. Nominations, which will be used by the judges who select the 2013 award winners, should include the name, phone number, and industry affiliation of the person submitting the nomination.
