Edelweiss is launching a new product tier called Discovery Access, designed to expand visibility for qualifying independent and emerging publishers. Discovery Access will enable participating publishers to make their titles searchable within Edelweiss, visible in saved filter results, and eligible for inclusion in bookseller-, librarian-, and media-curated Collections.
This product focuses on discoverability and metadata presence, the company said. The full Edelweiss Catalog Services will continue to provide enhanced catalog and merchandising tools, including digital review copies, publisher-controlled catalog markup, analytics, and advanced marketing features.
"This approach offers publishers of different sizes and needs flexible levels of engagement within the broader industry workflow," Edelweiss noted. "It preserves the robust tools and functionality our full-service publisher partners rely on, while expanding publisher participation in the discovery process."
"A key part of Edelweiss's mission and value proposition is to make broad discovery accessible," said John Rubin, founder and CEO of Edelweiss. "This new offering is designed to provide a clear, affordable option for title visibility."
Eligibility requirements and rollout details will be shared in the coming months, with implementation expected later this year.
