Explanation:
I think this is what's meant.

Prospectus
Refers to the announcement of a forthcoming book, usually by the publisher.
A formal summary of a proposed literary venture, as in the publisher's announcement of a forthcoming book.

publisher's notice


Explanation:
Prospectus good but depends on context. Not just used to refer to upcoming publications.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Verlagsmeldung Wir ziehen um!"

Publisher Announcements


Explanation:
As a bullet heading, rhe possessive is more compact (no apostrophe). Not knowing the exact context, it seems to me that 'announcements' is more comprehensive than 'notices.'
