Manhattan Book Group Celebrates Hybrid Publishing Trend as It Enters Eighth Year

As Manhattan Book Group enters its eighth year in 2026, the realm of hybrid publishing keeps changing.

Established in 2018 as an imprint of MindStir Media, Manhattan Book Group came into being with the aim of providing an option for authors other than traditional and completely self-publishing.

Throughout the last eight years, the company has been collaborating with writers from various genres, providing them with such services as editing, book design, publishing, distribution, marketing, and author assistance.

The event marks not only an accomplishment for the company but also an example of the overall changes taking place in the field of publishing. The current era requires the authors to look beyond mere publication. Professional book production, distribution, marketing, and the creation of a strong author image have become essential parts of the whole publishing process.

In turn, this situation provides authors with more options for selecting publishing models according to their preferences and retaining control over their books and careers.

Thus, with further development of the concept of hybrid publishing, the attention will be shifting from book publication to author presence creation.
