Content partners — captivating readers since 1999.
Grow your target audience and exposure with getAbstract.
Thousands of non-fiction books are published every year, making discoverability a growing challenge for publishers, agencies, and authors. Through curated recommendations, getAbstract helps business professionals find the most relevant ideas and insights.
Our recommendations are intended to inspire further exploration, not replace the original work. They help readers stay current, explore new topics, and foster lifelong learning.
As AI reshapes the learning landscape, our mission remains the same: to connect readers with the right business books at the right time — and ensure exceptional content remains visible and accessible, including in AI-powered environments.
Our commitment.
What partnership means to us.
For more than 25 years, publishers, literary agencies, and authors have trusted us to represent their content with care and integrity. We are proud of the long-term relationships we have built and the role we play in helping exceptional ideas reach new audiences around the world.
Our partnership is free of charge, built on cleared rights, editorial quality, and mutual trust. Every book summary we publish is produced with publisher consent and in accordance with our editorial standards.

Today and tomorrow.
Your content where readers are. Bridging the gap between books and readers.
For more than 25 years, we have connected readers with the books that matter. As the way people learn evolves, so do the channels through which your content reaches them.
We help readers discover books through personalised recommendations, reading lists, client learning portals, newsletters, and promotional placements. Every summary includes a direct purchase link, making it easy for interested readers to buy the original book and continue exploring the author’s ideas. Together, these channels increase visibility, drive discoverability, and connect books with engaged business readers around the world.
Some organisations go one step further: through the getAbstract Knowledge Layer, companies bring together their internal knowledge and our summaries in one place, so employees can find answers, close knowledge gaps, and discover relevant books directly in their daily work. For publishers, this means your titles can reach professionals at the exact moment they are looking to learn.
