ABOUT ISBNs:
An ISBN (International Standard Book Number) is a controlled, 10- or 13-digit
identification number allowing publishers, libraries, and book dealers to locate books.
Having an ISBN means that your book will appear in bibliographic databases. Booksellers
go to these databases to help them locate the publisher of a book so they can
order it.
An ISBN is like a zip code for a book. The first five digits of the ISBN identify
the book's publisher; no two publishers have the same ISBN prefix. This "zip code"
tells bookstores and online retailers where they can order a book. FictionWriters
does not offer or sell these services, but will handle all of the necessary arrangements
necessary to do so. If you purchase, or have purchased, an ISBN from any other source
that includes that sources ISBN prefix, then that publisher will be listed as the
publisher of record. If you purchase an ISBN through FictionWriters, you may have
the option as described above, or to purchase your own rights to said ISBN
identification - permanently, and be registered as the official publishing author
retaining the rights to that particular ISBN.

Do I need an ISBN?
To have your work distributed outside the confines of FictionWriters and our publishing
associate and entered into the book industry commerce chain, you must have an ISBN.
This includes listing it on Amazon and Barnes&Noble.com. Each version of a book -
paperback, hardcover, second edition - must have a different ISBN. With a unique ISBN
to distinguish between versions of a book, customers will always be sure that they are
ordering the correct one.
ISBNs are not for serial publications (magazines, journals, etc.) If you are publishing
a recurring product (for example, a monthly literary journal), consider getting an
ISSN (International Standard Serial Number). ISSNs are for any printed, electronic, or
Web material that is produced as an ongoing product. Your title must use the same name
with the exception of the issue or chronological order number. For example,
FictionWriters Magazine: Volume 5, Issue 1.

If you only plan to sell your work through FictionWriters, or simply to yourself, family
and friends, you probably don't need an ISBN.
How do I get an ISBN?
FictionWriters has arrangements with their printing/publishing source offering two
different package choices to obtain your ISBN for you. The first package allows you
to use the printer's ISBN for your publication at a lesser fee of $99,00, but the ISBN
is the property of the printer and you cannot use this ISBN elsewhere or with another
printing source. The second package to purchase your `personal' ISBN (which you solely
own and share in all its rights) is available by the printer for the fee of $149.00.
Both of these packages include worldwide promotion over the Internet as well as
being listed with the major book outlets such as Amazon and Barnes&Noble, etc.
FictionWriters DOES NOT share in any of these fees, and does not profit from them
in any manner. There is no obligation to obtain an ISBN and the decision is completely
up to the author should they wish to use this mass marketing opportunity. FictionWriters
will not be held responsible for any affiliated charges and/or fees of any kind as
related to the purchase of services from any exterior source.
