The publishing landscape is vastly changing, and Manhattan Book Group is at the helm of this revolution. This New York City-based hybrid publisher has found its niche in providing authors the best of both traditional and self-publishing, and an irresistible twist – assuring their works land on Amazon Best Seller list and highlighting them within significant media outlets such as NBC, CBS, and Fox.
The hybrid publishing business model allows authors to retain creative control, enjoy full-service support, effectively safeguard their publishing rights, and keep 100% royalties. At the same time, their books undergo rigorous editing, are professionally designed, and, critically, their works are returnable via Ingram, a significant wholesale distributor. This feature makes their masterpiece more likely to be stocked by brick and mortar stores.
Instigated by J. J. Hebert, the mastermind who has successfully published almost 1000 titles, Manhattan Book Group offers premium pre-production services. This includes editorial review submissions, custom book design, market research, pricing and genre consulting, ISBN assignment, and even book title consulting. Their sophisticated partnership with Ingram allows their printed books to be readily available to a network of 30,000 wholesalers, booksellers, and retailers in over 100 countries. Remarkably, the impact of guaranteed bestselling status and major media coverage multiplies these benefits.
Apart from enhancing your credibility, becoming an Amazon Bestselling author and being featured on vast news outlets open doors to countless opportunities. For instance, if your book is connected to your business, leveraging your bestselling tag and the media placements can attract more significant clients – this, in turn, galvanizes sales directly from the book, or indirectly by luring more clients, or both! This exposure also sets you apart for speaking engagements and allows you to position yourself as an industry expert, increasing the likelihood of more radio and podcast appearances.
This is not all. Manhattan Book Group has an exceptional offering – a Mariel Hemingway promotional package. Here, Mariel Hemingway, an award-winning actress and bestselling author, is available to promote authors’ books. This package includes a 90 seconds studio-quality endorsement video, made visible to thousands through uploading it on YouTube and running a promotional campaign. It also includes an article distribution service to NBC, CBS, Fox, and an additional 200 more.
Recognized as the “#1 Independent Book Publisher in New York City,” Manhattan Book Group holds the authors’ interests at heart. Their subscriptions go through meticulous vetting processes. However, authors do not need to be represented by a literary agent to work with them. The idea is to deliver quality over quantity and not treat the publishing process like a fast-food venture.
Manhattan Book Group’s strategy offers a remarkable opportunity for authors to make a marked impact in the competitive literary space. Their smart mix of traditional publishing, self-publishing, and the unique guarantee of bestseller status and notable media features are undoubtedly taking publishing to unprecedented heights. This NYC hybrid publisher’s commitment to providing the best to its authors is a testament to a more promising, innovative future in publishing.
