Our Trade Sales Team
With key buyer relationships at major national retailers and relationships with over 1,000 independent bookshops, our sales team goes beyond representation and provides insight into the $28 billion US trade publishing market, informing both acquisition and development.
The Power of Education
Small publishers often consider the education market simply as “school sales,” while missing the larger context that K-12 books and materials sales contribute an additional $8 billion to the US publishing industry. At BBPG, we partner with the largest US education wholesaler, and we have over 100 sales reps carrying our list into the national-school and library market.
