Author (Adult)

To reflect current publishing trends and better meet the needs of public library collections, the following formats will now be included on the Author (Adult) standing order program for new titles published after January 2025:

  • novellas
  • single-author short story collections
  • novella anthologies

Forthcoming Popular Nonfiction (Adult)

The Forthcoming Popular Nonfiction (Adult) Standing Order Program offers hand-selected titles customizable by Dewey® range from Ingram's nonfiction collection development librarians. The number of titles in each Dewey range will vary according to the season and will reflect what the librarians would purchase for their public library collections. The Basic selection has small libraries in mind, while the Expanded selection has medium and large libraries in mind. There is also an option to receive only the top 25 titles per month.

Inspirational Fiction

The Inspirational Fiction (Adult) Program identifies forthcoming trade paperback inspirational fiction titles by the most popular adult inspirational fiction authors. Large Print titles are also available as an option and will be included when they are a large print, quality paperback title that is released within six months of a title that has run on the program in regular print.

Mass Market Genre Fiction

The Mass Market Genre Fiction Standing Order Program provides the top five new titles each month in the fiction genres you select. For high-interest genres, you may also choose additional sets of popular titles. "A" titles are the top five titles for that genre, "B" titles are the sixth through tenth, and "C" titles are ranked 11th through 15th. Ingram's Collection Development librarians make the selections by considering recommended and top-demand titles, including reprints and originals.
