Need an ISBN Number? Find Information Here for Your Fiction!


Need an ISBN number? It all depends on how you plan on publishing your book. I have compiled the information needed to obtain one in as fast as ten days, if you even need one at all.

Of course, now you're asking, "What is an ISBN?"

I: International
S: Standard
B: Book
N: Number

This 13 digit indexing number is used by booksellers, libraries, universities, wholesalers, and distributors to provide more effective marketing and location of your book once it is published and on the market. It helps identify your book or edition of your book, how much it costs, and from what specific publisher it is available through. This is a unique number and is used to identify your unique book.

The simple serial number looks like this:

978-1-4116-6153-0

This new 13 digit number is now required (it used to be 10 digits) for hard copy published books and makes searches for your book easier for book sellers and buyers. It can also give your self-published book a more professional look and feel, not to mention increase your overall sales.

There are a couple ways to obtain an ISBN:

1. You can either get one through a publisher that publishes your book, or

2. If you need an ISBN number for your self-published work, you can purchase your own ISBNs.
