Services For Authors

 

Bowker Publishing Services provides you with the resources you need to publish, distribute, and promote your books – and help readers find and purchase your titles. After you’ve written your book, you’ll need to buy an ISBN for each format of your book and a barcode for each printed book. You may also want to create an ebook version to distribute to major online retailers. MyIdentifiers.com.au serves the Australasian market and offers ISBNs, barcodes, QR codes and the full range of other services Bowker offers to help connect publishers with book buyers.
