Little Big Mouth List
What's all the "Buzz" about?

Who can join?
Members on the LBM lists must be members of The Young to Publishing Group (YPG)-an initiative of the Association of American Publishers’ (AAP) Diversity/Recruit and Retain Committee. Please Note: YPG members who sign up should be aware that their contact information and preferences will be shared with publishers who are interested in marketing or publishing a title in the member's area of interest.
What are the benefits of using the YPG’s Little Big Mouth List to market/publicize a title?
- Access to a mailing list of well over 1,000 young professionals.
- The opportunity to influence a title's success by starting an industry-wide "buzz."
- Since LBM readers are organized by their tastes, you are targeting the exact people you want to market to when you choose a list
How do I use the list to market/publicize my books?
Send an email to ypgmembership@hotmail.com and indicate which list(s) you would like. Our database manager will compile the requested information and email you an excel document
in two days. But please note: The list changes daily, so please come back to us for updated lists whenever you have a new mailing.
What if I don't have enough books for everyone on the list?
Send them to as many as you can! Since the lists will probably arrive alphabetically, please try not to send all of your books to the first portion of the list; otherwise, they'll get everything, and the W-Z people will get zilch! Mix it up a little.
I still have questions. Who can I contact?
Feel free to email Katie Ly at kly@publishers.org
