New-order selection is limited to Small Group & Bible Study, Waiting Room Reading and Bookstore Discovery. The six other audience guides are coming soon. Original CBB editions are examples only. An available catalog topic does not mean an edition is open: check the selected edition’s confirmed status and offer.

Four quarter pages, two half pages and one full page: seven individual author slots using three catalog pages. The bundle is optional, uses current per-placement rates without a separate discount, and can be added again while sufficient space remains. It does not change the applicable custom-order minimum or edition pack rules.

Your publishing company is responsible for selling and filling its inventory by the edition’s submission deadline. You may choose one purchased slot for your own publisher advertisement per company, per catalog edition, before that deadline. Any remaining unfilled placements are forfeited. Unused placements do not roll over to a later issue or another catalog.

Yes: one purchased slot may be used for a publisher advertisement per company, per catalog edition, selected before the submission deadline. It uses the original purchased space; it is not a free additional page. Provide the publisher materials and follow the proof process. Other unfilled placements are forfeited.

Open Selling coach for suggested replies, follow-up questions and relevant FAQs. It can help explain value, price concerns, distribution and royalties. Provide only the context needed for the question and check the edition’s confirmed details before making a promise. The coach does not verify your purchased inventory or guarantee outcomes.

The book retail price is what a reader pays for one copy of the book. The placement resale price is what your publishing company charges an author for the catalog advertisement. Keep these amounts separate. Verify the exact book edition and current retailer price; an example author-ad price is not the book’s retail price.

Your company buys advertising placements in a specific catalog edition at the displayed wholesale price. You can resell those placements to authors at your own price or include them in your publishing services. Published coordinates the catalog’s layout, proof process, printing and mailing as described in the edition’s offer. This is advertising space, not a purchase of your authors’ books.

Quarter pages are ordered in packs of four: one pack contains four individual quarter-page author slots, two packs contain eight, and so on. Each edition also lists its minimum total order. After payment and availability are confirmed, you assign a book to each allocated slot. Check the edition’s minimum, prices and format availability before submitting.

The launch menu focuses on quarter-page, half-page and full-page placements, with author spotlights where an edition offers them. Three-quarter-page placements are not part of the launch menu. Available sizes, quantities and specifications appear on the edition’s order page.

Card payments are not connected yet. Payment pending means Published has not yet confirmed the payment and allocated inventory in your workspace. If you have already paid externally, provide the payment reference through your support conversation. Do not promise the slots as confirmed until the order status shows payment and allocation are complete.

Only when the specific edition lists that product and its availability. A book feature on a shared cover, an exclusive cover ad and an author spotlight are different products. A cover-and-interior bundle must explicitly describe both parts. Do not assume a cover is included in a full-page purchase, or promise a cover position before it is confirmed.

You do. Your wholesale purchase price is the amount you pay Published. Your author price is the amount your company chooses to charge. Example resale prices are illustrations, not mandatory prices. Any earnings illustration assumes the stated slots sell at the stated prices and excludes expenses unless the calculator says otherwise.

Refund requests must be made within 24 hours of purchase. Purchases are nonrefundable after that window. Unused inventory does not roll over. Ask Published about other requested changes before making a promise to an author; the edition’s availability and deadlines still apply.

Open Get help in your publisher workspace and start a question, or reply to an existing conversation. Include the order or placement reference and explain what you need. Published’s replies appear in that conversation. A resolved request can be reopened by replying, subject to the workspace’s limit on open requests. Do not include card details, passwords or sign-in codes in a support message.

Check Workspace updates for saved order, proof, production and support activity. Open the relevant order, placement or conversation for its current status and next step. An update in the workspace does not mean an email was delivered, a book was sold or every recipient received a catalog.

Upload JPG, PNG or WebP images, or a PDF for book-cover artwork. Author photos must be JPG, PNG or WebP images. Each file must be nonempty and no larger than 20 MB. Follow the edition’s artwork requirements for dimensions, quality and layout specifications; an accepted file type alone does not mean artwork is ready for print.

When editing is still allowed, saving changed book details invalidates the earlier proof approval. Submit the updated placement and review the new proof before approving it again. Content and proof deadlines still apply, and editing closes when the edition is released to production. Your approval applies to the specific proof version you reviewed.

Prepare the book title, author name, a concise description, a valid ISBN, a working book purchase link and original book-cover artwork. Some formats also need an author photo or additional copy. Follow the fields and specifications for the placement you bought, and use materials your company is entitled to provide for the ad.

Yes. A valid ISBN automatically starts a lookup in an editable book placement. Book-data sources receive the ISBN; when AI is enabled, OpenAI receives the ISBN and public book information to research details and prepare draft ad copy. Available title, subtitle, author, publisher, description, cover, retail price and verified purchase link can fill untouched fields. Your manual edits stay in place. Check the exact edition, source, price and cover quality, then save the draft. A search-results link is not an exact purchase page; confirm the product URL before submitting. You can enter details manually or choose Look up again. Lookup does not save or submit the placement; a valid ISBN is still required to submit a book ad.

Open the allocated author placement and save its book purchase link. The Book QR & link opens section provides PNG and SVG downloads based on the saved placement. Review the QR in the actual ad proof. The link becomes active when the approved edition is released for production; earlier opens are not counted. Do not print artwork labeled Development link, and use the final public website address when preparing print files. After release, contact Published to correct a purchase destination without changing the printed code. Keep the printed Published domain and link active even if the website moves; mailing and display-until dates do not expire the code.

No. A draft lets you gather information before it is complete. Submit the placement when its information and artwork are ready. The Published team then reviews it and prepares a proof. Check the placement’s status rather than assuming that saving a field or uploading an image submits the ad.

Check the title, author name, description, ISBN, images and purchase link. Test any QR code against the intended destination. Review the proof with your author as needed, request corrections through the placement workflow, and approve the final proof only when it is ready. Book submission alone is not proof approval.

Use the dates confirmed for your specific edition; until then, deadlines are to be confirmed. Order cutoff, materials, proof approval and mailing may have different dates. Your publishing company must sell and fill its inventory by the submission deadline. One purchased slot may become a publisher ad per company per catalog edition if selected before that deadline. Remaining unfilled placements are forfeited, with no rollover.

The priority audiences are Waiting Room, Small Group / Bible Study and Bookstore. Waiting Room is for relevant organizations with customer or patient waiting areas; Small Group / Bible Study is for relevant church and ministry audiences; Bookstore is for appropriate bookstore locations. The specific recipient types, geography and circulation must be stated for each edition. A catalog name alone does not guarantee every type of organization is included.

Use only the circulation published for that edition. Research records, directory totals and sample addresses are not a confirmed mailing list or delivered reach. If an edition does not yet state a confirmed circulation, do not invent a count or use the total size of an unrelated dataset when selling the placement.

Source research can include public organization datasets, business directories and organization websites. Records then need audience screening, duplicate review, address checks and selection for the edition. Finding an organization online is not the same as verifying its postal address. An edition’s distribution information should explain the actual sources, recipient categories, geography and checks completed for its selected list.

Use the edition’s distribution summary and any recipient examples Published supplies. Those examples explain the intended audience without implying that every source record is on the final mailing file. This guide does not promise delivery of the complete recipient list or permission to reuse its contact details for other marketing.

Yes. While editing the placement, you can optionally suggest up to three organizations with their complete mailing addresses. Save them with the book details so Published can review them. Suggestions are not verified addresses, confirmed additions to an edition’s mailing list or a delivery guarantee. Leave any unused suggestion blank.

Publication frequency follows demand and edition readiness. There is no fixed twice-yearly or quarterly commitment. Use the confirmed order cutoff, material deadline, proof deadline and planned mailing date for the specific edition you buy; dates remain to be confirmed until the edition publishes them.

If an edition uses one, it suggests the intended shelf life of that issue. It is not a commitment from recipients to keep or display the catalog for that period. It also does not extend the ad-submission deadline or promise a particular number of views.

Check the edition’s offer. An author copy is included only when it is explicitly listed, with the quantity, delivery arrangement and any cost explained. Buying an ad does not automatically create a separate shipment to the author. Confirm the copy arrangement before including it in your author-facing package.

Original CBB editions are historical examples of catalog advertising. CBB is not part of the new-order selection. A historical edition does not establish new circulation, availability, prices or a delivery schedule.

Describe an advertising placement in a named catalog edition, including the format, published audience, stated circulation and applicable dates. Explain what artwork and approval are required. Book sales, bookstore stocking, library acquisition, catalog display and a particular number of readers are not guaranteed outcomes of an ad.

The book’s purchase link takes readers to the specified bookstore, retailer or publisher sales channel. Royalties and sales reporting follow the author’s publishing agreement and that channel’s terms. The catalog advertising purchase does not establish a new royalty rate or payout schedule. Your publishing company should explain its own royalty arrangements to its authors.

No. The placement shows recorded QR/link opens after production release, including daily totals shown in UTC. Repeat visits and automated traffic may be included. These are not unique readers, book purchases, catalog deliveries or views of a printed ad. Sales evidence must come from the retailer or purchasing system; the open count does not establish a sale or a royalty payment.

Start with the revenue you expect from placements you actually sell to authors. Subtract the wholesale cost of all the placements you purchase, including any that remain unsold. Then subtract your own sales commissions, payment fees, refunds and other service expenses. Resale revenue minus wholesale cost is the amount available before those additional expenses; it is not guaranteed profit.

Examples can help explain page sizes and presentation. Identify historical editions and sample layouts accurately, and use approved materials for your sales conversations. A sample book, cover or recipient count does not establish what will appear in a future edition. Describe the actual placement your author would receive.
