The Western Book Reps Association is a group of sales professionals who represent a wide range of book publishers. In addition to books, many publishers also produce calendars, maps, CD's, DVD's and stationary products. WBRA representatives service retail trade and wholesale outlets mainly in British Columbia; however, some reps also cover other western provinces, as well as the Yukon and Northern Territories. Please consult the WBRA Directory in the tab above to determine which representatives cover your area.
If you are in Alberta, please contact the Alberta Reps Association to find out who your local sales representatives are for particular publishers. ABRA President, Heather Parsons, heather.parsons@shaw.ca or Adrienne Sample, ABRA Vice President asample@wiley.com.
We do not accept submissions from authors. If you are a writer looking for advice on publishing we suggest you consult a copy of “THE BOOK TRADE IN CANADA: Your complete guide to the Canadian publishing marketplace”. This is an excellent resource published by Quill & Quire, Canada's Magazine of Book News and Reviews, and is available at many local libraries. For more information see www.quillandquire.com.
