EP12: Do You Need An ISSN or ISBN For Your Publication?


Listen Later

Vevna Forrow (Jazz Marie Kaur) touches base on the importance of ISSNs and ISBNs in the publication world and the differences between them. Recorded on April 27, 2025 Song Intro: Eugene Barduja


Additional Notes:


IngramSpark has a slightly lower cost I believe for getting ISBNs through them via partnership with Bowker. Keep in mind you need a different ISBN for each format or version e.g. hardcover and paperback—those would not be able to have the same ISBN. For an ISSN on the other hand visit the International Standard Serial Number Centre site if you wish to start the application process for your lit mag series through their portal—you should be prepared to have samples of your publication for examination again. I had to send in a physical copy and share a digital issue link in full because we do both formats.
