For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers
Hi, Friends and Neighbors,
Here's my question of the day. I've been over to the Library of Congress to check out the requirements for participation in the PCN Program. I want to apply, but some of the language regarding eligibility seems kind of silly to me. Maybe it's me. But the following statement from their little blurb there says, along with all the other requirements that I understand, that a publisher must--"maintain an editorial office in the U.S. capable of answering substantive bibliographic questions."
Can someone tell me what the heck this means? I'm looking at substantive; I'm looking at bibliographic and I just can't wrap my head around the message here. Is it just me? Am I dense, or is this gobbledy-gook?

The quote you wrote sounds like they want to be able to reach you encase they have questions regarding any source material you may be using in your book. Are you writing non-fiction?
I don't recall any questions like that and I've gotten 2 LOC control numbers for my fiction books.
