Publisher Details

Publisher: The person or organisation that is responsible for producing the publication — it is normally NOT the printer.

Address: Please supply a postal address, and a street address if separate.

Contact name: This is the person who will be responsible for receiving notification of the ISBN/s. If you are applying for a block, it is the person who will be responsible for the allocation of ISBNs to publications and for notifying the ISBN Agency of these allocations.

Title details: To be completed by those publishers who require a single ISBN. As some details may change between issuing the ISBN and publication, amendments can be made at any time after the ISBN is issued.

Subtitle (if any): a secondary title that appears after the title and usually is of an explanatory nature. In the following example, the subtitle is after the colon.
Olympic Fever: A Study of the Australian Mood in the Year 2000.

Contributors: We can only list up to two of each type (e.g., authors, illustrators); if there are more than two of each type (e.g., 3 authors), one will be listed along with the term ‘Others’. Editors should only be listed if they are mentioned on the imprint page; for example, in an anthology.

Multi-volume works/editions: see Frequently Asked Questions

Number of pages: The number of actually numbered pages; eg, a book has 83 bound pages, with an introduction paginated in roman numerals, and only 60 numbered pages from 1 to 60. The number of pages in this case is 60.

Illustrations: does not include the cover.

Price: recommended retail price, including GST

Envisaged date of publication: an estimated time (month & year) for when the publication will be made available.
