ABA members can report weekly to the Indie Bestseller Lists.
Click here to enter the Bestsellers Reporting System.
Reporting Tip: To gain access to the reporting area, each user must have a BookWeb.org account. (You’ll need your ABA ID number to set that up, but there can be endless numbers of accounts per ID number.)
Reporting Tip: The reporting period opens each Saturday at 3 p.m. ET and closes each Monday at 3 a.m. ET. Sometimes periods are extended for holidays. Try and report the same time each week, and send in a full weeks worth of sales data.
Reporting Tip: If you are using the manual entry method, remember that the fields self-populate each week, so you can add new titles over time.
