Lighthouse Recognition Program

How can my book qualify for the Lighthouse Recognition Program?


Your title must sell 100 copies (print plus e-book combined) in the retail channel during the month being reviewed and have an Amazon Best Sellers Rank of less than 300,000 for either the e-book or the paperback at the time the monthly sales report is reviewed in order to be admitted into the Lighthouse Recognition Program. Just as traditionally published titles demonstrate marketability through retail sales, self-published titles must also have a proven ability to target a book-buying audience and reach that audience using methods beyond direct sales.

WestBow Press will notify you when you qualify for Lighthouse status and offer you admission to the program.

In order to qualify for the program, please note that your book must be returnable.
