Our website receives nearly 30,000 visits per year and 60,000 page views, where you can advertise to the industry or the general public. Our dedicated title emails go to the owners, management, and staff at our 200 member bookstores. Our weekly Heartland Indie Bestseller List goes to more than 1,500 recipients throughout the industry.
