An ISBN in your own publishing company name! What does that mean? It means you own it. It means it will stay with you and your book forever and cannot be used by another company. If you self publish and you purchase your ISBN from anything other than an authorized agent, it will not be in your name. It will either belong to that company or have “Independent Publisher” as the company name. We are authorized agents for single ISBNs – in your name.

 

You will receive the official application form via email after your credit card has been authorized.
