Book+Main, a social media company that enables readers to engage with their favourite authors and discover new ones, has announced a partnership with Bowker to connect them with metadata to enhance their business. Bowker is a ProQuest affiliate and acts as the retail agent for ProQuest's renowned metadata.
Book+Main's unique platform, called Book+Main Bites, is designed to connect authors and the reading community. Via Book+Main Bites, authors and readers communicate, interact and network with each other via an author's content, developing organic, authentic connections. More than a social media platform, Book+Main Bites is a discovery tool for readers to find books that match their needs, the moment they want it. It is also an effective sales and marketing tool for authors to increase their visibility and find new readers.
Bowker's Global Books in Print® database and its Enriched/Value Added Content data - which includes cover images, New York Times and Publisher's Weekly detailed bestsellers citations, over 100 years of Bestsellers - will help facilitate author/reader communication, interaction and networking.
Bowker collaborates with thousands of publishers, retailers, libraries and search engines worldwide to make their media collections - whether print or digital - easily discovered, evaluated and selected by users. The seminal Books In Print® database is used by customers to enhance their collections, embedding them with rich details and real-time updates that capture new title releases.
