 3% of survey complete.
This survey asks publishers in Canada questions about their businesses and experiences in the book industry supply chain, focusing on the trade market in Canada. The answers will enable data-driven decision-making for your company and other publishers across the industry.


Important information before you begin:
  • Before you begin the survey, it will be helpful to have an overview of sales and returns for 2023, broken down by market, format (print, ebook, audiobook), distribution channels and genre/category.
  • Please be as forthcoming as possible and provide as much information as you can to the best of your ability. Where applicable, you will be asked to either select a range or provide an approximate estimate. Knowing exact numbers are not necessary.
  • In your answers for approximate numbers or ranges, please round up to the nearest whole number. Do not include decimals or percent signs.
  • You can view the entire survey in advance to help you prepare and gather the information you’ll need.

Tips for saving and returning to your survey answers:
  • Once you begin, responses are saved only when you click the “Next” button on the bottom of the survey page. If you want to go back to a prior page in the survey, use the "Back" and "Next" buttons on the bottom of the survey page. This will save what you’ve filled in so far.
  • If you exit the survey, you can return to your saved answers by using the same device and survey URL you used to start the survey. (If you left the survey before pressing the “Next” button, your answers on that page will not be saved.)
  • Your survey will be considered complete when you reach the last page of the survey and click the ”Done” button and are shown the end page.

Non-personal identifying data will only be released in aggregate form. All responses will be kept anonymous.
