Edelweiss is the primary catalog tool for publisher sales representatives. You will use it often – maybe every day! Publishers use the platform to create digital catalogs for their titles and then connect those catalogs to customers. With your sales rep account, you will be able to:

  • Create contacts
  • Create catalog markups
  • Share markups
  • Create orders
  • Process orders
  • And more!

First, You Need An Account

Ideally, your publisher’s User Administrator (the person who manages all of the users for the publisher Edelweiss account) will add you as a sales rep, and you will receive an automated email helping you sign in.

If this doesn’t happen, you can create a free account at www.edelweiss.plus. While registering, look for your publishing house to connect your account to the organization.

Already have an account but aren’t linked to the right publisher? Get in touch at support@abovethetreeline.com, and we will transfer you over to the correct organization.

Subscribe to Newsletters

By creating a new account, you will automatically be registered for our weekly newsletter that goes out every Tuesday. This newsletter highlights featured titles as well as review copies and catalogs that were posted by all publishers within the last week. It is very popular with the 70,000 book professionals that receive it!

You may occasionally receive alerts about product updates that are of interest to publisher sales reps. As a publisher user, you will also receive our monthly publisher newsletter. This includes handy tips, product updates, upcoming trainings or events, and more. Want more insight into how other types of users (your customers!) use Edelweiss?
