Your product description must adhere to our Content Policy, which prohibits inclusion of the following information: 

• Pornographic, obscene or offensive content.
• Contact information for the author or publisher.
• Information on other places or retailers where customers can acquire your eBook.
• Editorial Reviews or Customer Reviews of your content. You can submit Editorial Reviews on the Editorial Reviews page of your Project. Customer Reviews, however, are not ever submitted by you, they are submitted by customers on your NOOK Book’s product pages
• Editorial Review or Customer Review solicitations.

About the Author(s): In the About the Author(s) text field, you can provide additional information about the author or authors of your Manuscript. As with the Description, your About the Author(s) must comply with our Content Policy.
Do you have an eBook-specific ISBN?: An ISBN is a 10- or 13-digit number that uniquely identifies published books worldwide. ISBN stands for the International Standard Book Number. You do NOT need an ISBN to sell your NOOK Book through NOOK Press. If you don't have an ISBN, click "No".

 

If you have purchased a 10-digit ISBN that you'd like to use, please first convert it to a 13-digit number using a service like http://www.isbn.org/converterpub.asp before entering it. If you have an ISBN for another eBook edition of your NOOK Book, you cannot use that ISBN here as well. Also, if you have an ISBN for your NOOK Book's print edition or print-on-demand edition, you cannot use that ISBN here. The ISBN you enter here must specifically be for this NOOK Book edition only.

 

NOOK will always assign our own internal 13-digit identifier to your NOOK Book. This internal identifier will display as the "BN ID" in the Product Details section of your NOOK Book's customer product page. If you submit your own ISBN, all of your sales and payment reporting will reference both the BN ID we created AND the ISBN you provided.
