CDJ Affiliate Program
Help Readers Discover Stories That Matter
Apply to become an approved CDJ affiliate and promote eligible books through tracked links, approved campaign materials, and transparent commission terms.
A Publishing Partnership
A Program Built for Responsible Promotion
The CDJ Affiliate Program is intended for individuals and organizations that can introduce eligible books to relevant readers in an accurate, thoughtful, and transparent way.
Approved affiliates receive access to tracked referral links, campaign information, selected promotional assets, reporting, and commission details through a dedicated affiliate dashboard.
Participation is separate from an ordinary customer account. Creating a customer account does not automatically enroll someone in the affiliate program.
