Member Benefits

Industry Discounts

The ASA has organised some generous discounts to industry subscriptions and services on our members’ behalf. Read more about how you can take advantage of them here.

Books+Publishing

Stay up-to-date with Australia’s publishing industry with the Books+Publishing quarterly magazine and weekly book newsletter. Get book industry news including staff changes, manuscript acquisitions, weekly bestseller lists, literary award winners and shortlists and pre-publication book reviews.

Books+Publishing (B+P) is offering ASA members a 20% discount on a B+P subscription. This includes: the B+P Daily newsletter, the Weekly Book Newsletter, and monthly pre-publication reviews newsletters. To take advantage of this offer just visit www.booksandpublishing.com.au and use the discount code “HELLOASA“.

The Hot Sheet

The Hot Sheet is a fortnightly email newsletter for professional authors, providing international publishing industry news.

ASA members can access a 20% discount off the standard US$59 annual subscription. To take advantage, visit https://hotsheetpub.com/ and use the discount code “ASA20“.

New subscribers automatically enter a 30-day (i.e. two-issue) free trial period. They receive an email 7 days before their subscription changes from free to paid; so long as they apply the coupon code to their account either at initial setup or before the 30 days has elapsed, the discount will be deducted from their first bill.

ASA members are welcome to keep reusing the code at each annual renewal, however it has to be done proactively; the code doesn’t automatically re-apply itself each year.
