Advertise With Us
Reach authors, independent publishers, publishing professionals, and book-industry decision makers through PublishingStandards.com advertising and sponsorship opportunities.
PublishingStandards.com reaches readers who are actively working through the business and professional requirements of publishing: authors, independent publishers, small presses, editors, designers, service providers, and other people responsible for bringing books to market.
Advertising is available for companies, products, and services that are relevant to that audience. Placements are designed to remain clearly separate from editorial coverage and are labeled as advertising or sponsorship where appropriate.
Available Advertising Opportunities
Site-wide sidebar sponsorship. Reserve a commercial position across eligible article pages. Site-wide placements are useful for advertisers seeking broad visibility throughout the publication.
Category sponsorship. Sponsor a specific subject area such as AI & Publishing, Copyright & Rights, Distribution & Metadata, or Author & Publisher Business. Category sponsors can receive priority placement within articles assigned to that section.
Article-specific sponsorship. Reserve a sidebar position on a particular article when its subject closely matches your product, service, or campaign. Article-level sponsorships take priority over broader category and site-wide placements.
Publishing Standards Brief sponsorship. Opportunities may be available around individual issues of the Publishing Standards Brief and related weekly coverage.
Sidebar Positions
Commercial article pages can support three managed sidebar positions: Top, Middle, and Lower. Availability can be sold at the article, category, or site level. When a paid position is not assigned, PublishingStandards.com may display an affiliate or house promotion in that space.
Editorial Independence
Advertising does not purchase editorial coverage, favorable reviews, rankings, recommendations, or changes to our publishing guidance. Sponsored and advertising relationships are kept separate from editorial decisions. We reserve the right to decline advertising that is misleading, irrelevant to the audience, or inconsistent with the publication.
Request Availability
Advertising packages can be tailored to the placement, category, campaign period, and level of exclusivity requested. Current availability and pricing are provided directly rather than published as a fixed rate card.
