What is the imprint associated with your ISBN?
An imprint is the name of the publisher associated with your ISBN. This name is typically visible on your Amazon listing and in book metadata. If you purchased your ISBN from a provider like Bowker, the imprint will usually be your name, business name, or a custom name you selected during registration.

This service includes the ISBN and registration under our imprint, Hmdpublishing. A fee of $100 will apply, and we’ll include this in your quote.
