About the Publisher Program

Live Search Books is Microsoft’s online search service for books. The service will give information seekers a distinctive, powerful set of tools that helps them find answers to their search questions by discovering authoritative book content—and provide publishers with a new way to connect with potential customers.

As publishers, you add your content to Live Search Books through the Live Search Books Publisher Program. Participation in the program is free, and it takes just a few simple steps to sign up. Once you've submitted your titles, we’ll handle the rest: if needed, we’ll scan your books and then index them. Once the service launches, millions of Live Search Books users will be able to discover your books and either purchase them from your site or from participating retailers.

Visit the Terms and Conditions and Program Policies often to ensure that you're up to date on the latest from Live Search Books.
