Listing your book on our database

Once your book is close to publication, list it on our database with its basic bibliographic information. This ensures that both retail and library customers have pre-publication information for your print and e-books as soon as possible.

Information can be supplied in the following ways:

• Title Editor: Recommended for independent publishers and self-published authors. This free online service allows you to view and edit your book information, upload new titles, and add cover images. Register or login to Title Editor
• ONIX (Online Information Exchange): Our preferred format for receiving rich product information, suitable for publishers of all sizes. Contact our Testing & Integration team to start testing an ONIX message: testing.book@nielseniq.com 
• Structured Electronic File: Ideal for larger publishers with a catalogue of more than 200 titles. A development fee may apply.
